MRS and RMRS

Joint discussion session including (some) grammarians and (some) processing folk. Very roughly divided into topics that are more-or-less grammar internal and those which are more related to the external use of MRS/RMRS.

Scheduled for the afternoon of June 14th and morning of June 15th. Participants should email AnnCopestake before making major changes but feel free to make minor additions. People identified are possible discussion leaders (in most cases, these are the people who suggested a topic). Topics may start with a short presentation, but please let AnnCopestake know if substantial presentation time is required (more than 10-15 minutes). Please let AnnCopestake know of any missing topics. Note that this schedule is quite packed.
