The conference aims to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers interested in non-derivational approaches to grammar, where grammar is seen as the interaction of (perhaps violable) constraints from multiple levels of structuring, including those of syntactic categories, grammatical relations, semantics and discourse.</span></font><div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">Further information about LFG as a syntactic theory is available at the following sites:</span></font></div><ul style="margin-top: 14pt; margin-bottom: 14pt; "><li><a href="http://www.essex.ac.uk/linguistics/LFG/" target="_blank"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">http://www.essex.ac.uk/linguistics/LFG/</span></font></a></li><li><a href="http://www-lfg.stanford.edu/lfg/" target="_blank"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">http://www-lfg.stanford.edu/lfg/</span></font></a></li></ul><div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">SUBMISSIONS: TALKS AND POSTERS</span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">The main conference sessions will involve 45-minute talks (30 min. + 15 min. discussion), and poster/system presentations.

The dissertations must be completed by the time of the conference, and they should be made publicly accessible (e.g., on the World Wide Web). The talks in this session should provide an overview of the main original points of the dissertation; the talks will be 20 minutes, followed by a 10-minute discussion period.
