LFG17: The 22nd International Lexical-Functional Grammar Conference<br>
<br>
25 July - 27 July 2017<br>
University of Konstanz, Germany<br>
<br>
Conference website: http://typo.uni-konstanz.de/lfg2017/<br>
<br>
Conference e-mail (NOT for abstract submission): lfg17 'at' uni-konstanz.de<br>
<br>
Abstract submission deadline: 15 February 2017, 23:59 GMT<br>
<br>
Abstracts should be submitted using the online submission system at<br>
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lfg17<br>
<br>
Invited speakers:<br>
Geoffrey K. Pullum (University of Edinburgh) and Peter Sells (University of York)<br>
<br>
LFG17 welcomes work within the formal architecture of Lexical-Functional Grammar as well as<br>
typological, formal, and computational work within the 'spirit of LFG' as a lexicalist approach to<br>
language employing a parallel, constraint-based framework. The conference aims to promote<br>
interaction and collaboration among researchers interested in non-derivational approaches to<br>
grammar, where grammar is seen as the interaction of (perhaps violable) constraints from<br>
multiple levels of structuring, including those of syntactic categories, grammatical relations,<br>
semantics and discourse.<br>
<br>
<br>
SUBMISSIONS: TALKS AND POSTERS<br>
<br>
The main conference sessions will involve 45-minute talks (30 min + 15 min discussion),<br>
and poster presentations. Contributions can focus on results from completed as well as<br>
ongoing research, with an emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives,<br>
whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or computational. Presentations should describe<br>
original, unpublished work.<br>
<br>
TIMETABLE<br>
<br>
Deadline for abstracts: 15 February 2017, 23:59 GMT<br>

<br>
SUBMISSION SPECIFICATIONS<br>
<br>
The language of the conference is English, and all abstracts must be written in English.<br>
<br>
All abstracts should be submitted using the online submission system. Submissions should<br>
be in the form of abstracts only. Abstracts can be up to three A4 pages: two pages total for<br>
text, plus one page for diagrams, in 10pt or larger type and including a title. Omit name and<br>
affiliation (including in PDF document properties), and avoid obvious self-reference.<br>
<br>
Please submit your abstract in .pdf format (or a plain text file). If you have any trouble<br>
converting your file into .pdf please contact the Program Committee at the address<br>
below. (On the Easychair submission system, if you upload your abstract as a .pdf file,<br>
please simply type 'abstract attached' in the abstract box.)<br>
<br>
The number of submissions is not restricted. However, in the interests of high<br>
participation and broad representation, each author should be involved in a maximum of two<br>
oral papers and can only be a single author of one. There are no restrictions on poster<br>
presentations. 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 anonymously by at least three referees. Papers accepted to the<br>
conference can be submitted to the refereed proceedings, which will be published online by<br>
CSLI Publications. See http://web.stanford.edu/group/cslipublications/cslipublications/LFG/ for<br>
recent proceedings.<br>
<br>
SOCIAL PROGRAMME AND XLE TUTORIAL:<br>
<br>
The conference will be preceded by an excursion on 24 July (possibly including an overnight<br>
stay in the Danube valley). <br>
<br>
There will be an XLE tutorial on the day following the conference.<br>
<br>
Details will be announced nearer the time.<br>
