A synchronous, online participation option will be available. <br><br>LFG23 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 multiple<br>levels of structuring, including those of syntactic categories, grammatical relations, semantics and<br>discourse.<br><br>LFG23 is sponsored by the Center for Language Sciences at the University of Rochester<br>(<a href="http://www.sas.rochester.edu/cls/" target="_blank">http://www.sas.rochester.edu/cls/</a>)<br><br><br>SUBMISSIONS: TALKS AND POSTERS<br><br>The main conference sessions will involve 45-minute talks (30 min + 15 min discussion), and poster<br>presentations. Contributions can focus on results from completed as well as ongoing research, with<br>an emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives, whether descriptive, theoretical,<br>formal or computational. Presentations should describe original, unpublished work.<br><br>DISSERTATION SESSION<br><br>As in previous years, we are hoping to hold a special session that will give students the chance to<br>present recent PhD dissertations (or other student research dissertations). The dissertations must<br>be completed by the time of the conference, and they should be made publicly accessible (e.g., on<br>the World Wide Web). The talks in this session should provide an overview of the main original<br>points of the dissertation; the talks will be 20 minutes, followed by a 10-minute discussion period.<br><br>Students should note that the main sessions are certainly also open to student submissions. Students<br>who present papers in either session will receive a small subvention towards their conference costs<br>from the International LFG Association (ILFGA).<br><br>TIMETABLE<br><br>Deadline for abstracts: 15 February 2023, 23:59 UTC-12 (midnight anywhere on Earth)<br>Notification of acceptance: 31 March 2023<br>Conference: 21 July - 25 July 2023<br><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.

However, in the interests of high participation and<br>broad representation, each author should be involved in a maximum of two oral papers and can only be<br>a single author of one. There are no restrictions on poster presentations. Authors may want to keep<br>this in mind when stating their preferences concerning the mode of presentation of their<br>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, and will be published, subject to<br>acceptance, online by CSLI Publications. (Please note that papers submitted to the proceedings are<br>no longer automatically accepted for publication in the proceedings.)
