<br />
<br />LFG 2012 welcomes work within the formal architecture of
<br />Lexical-Functional Grammar as well as typological, formal, and
<br />computational work within the 'spirit of LFG' as a lexicalist approach
<br />to language employing a parallel, constraint-based framework. The
<br />conferenceaims to promote interaction and collaboration among
<br />researchers interested in non-derivational approaches to grammar, where
<br />grammar is seen as the interaction of (perhaps violable) constraints
<br />from multiple levels of structuring, including those of syntactic
<br />categories, grammatical relations, semantics and discourse.
<br />
<br />Further information about LFG as a syntactic theory is available at the
<br />following sites: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.essex.ac.uk/linguistics/external/LFG/">http://www.essex.ac.uk/linguistics/external/LFG/</a>

<br />
<br />SUBMISSIONS: TALKS AND POSTERS
<br />The main conference sessions will involve 45-minute talks (30 min. + 15
<br />min. discussion), and poster/system presentations. Contributions can
<br />focus on results from completed as well as ongoing research, with an
<br />emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives, whether
<br />descriptive,theoretical, formal or computational. Presentations should
<br />describe original, unpublished work.
<br />
<br />
<br />DISSERTATION SESSION
<br />As in previous years, we are hoping to hold a special session that will
<br />give students the chance to present recent PhD dissertations (or other
<br />student research dissertations). The dissertations must be completed by
<br />the time of the conference, and they should be made publicly accessible
<br />(e.g., on the World Wide Web). The talks in this session should provide
<br />an overview of the main original points of the dissertation; the talks
<br />will be 20 minutes, followed by a 10-minute discussion period. The
<br />International LFG Association (ILFGA) will pay the conference fees for
<br />the students presenting at the dissertation session.
<br />
<br />Students should note that the main sessions are certainly also open to
<br />student submissions.
<br />
<br />
<br />TIMETABLE
<br />Deadline for abstracts: 15 February, 2012
<br />Acceptances sent out: 30 March, 2012
<br />Conference: 28 June - 1 July, 2012
<br />
<br />SUBMISSION SPECIFICATIONS Abstracts for talks, posters/demonstrations
and the dissertation session
<br />must be received by February 15, 2012. The language of the conference is
<br />English, and all abstracts must be written in English.All abstracts
<br />should be submitted using the online submission system. Submissions
<br />should be in the form of abstracts only. Abstracts can be up to two A4
<br />pages in 10pt or larger type and should include a title. Omit name and
<br />affiliation, and obvious self-reference. Note: we no longer ask for a
<br />separate page for data and figures (c-/f- and related structures). They
<br />can be included in the text of the abstract, obeying the overall
<br />two-page limit. Please submit your abstract in .pdf format (or a plain
<br />text file). If you have any trouble converting your file into pdf please
<br />contact the Program Committee at the address below.
<br />
<br />The number of submissions is not restricted. However, the number of
<br />oral presentations per participant is limited. The author of a
<br />single-authored paper which is accepted for oral presentation cannot
<br />also appear as the sole author or first author of a second orally
<br />presented paper. Participants may be listed as the first author of at
<br />most two jointly submitted papers accepted for oral presentation.
<br />Authors may want to keep this in mind when stating their preferences
<br />concerning the mode of presentation of their submissions.
<br />
<br />All abstracts will be reviewed by at least three people. Papers will
<br />appear in the proceedings, which will be published online by CSLI
<br />Publications. Selected papers may also appear in a printed volume
<br />published by CSLI Publications.
