Meeting Description:

The workshop will bring together specialists in various domains of Dutch
grammar, using different approaches or formalisms that fall under the 
general rubric of construction-based grammar, with the aim of providing an 
overview of current research into aspects of the Dutch constructicon and of 
stimulating discussion between different (broadly) constructionist 
approaches. 

Call For Papers

On March 25-26, 2011, The Leiden University Centre for Linguistics will 
host a two-day workshop  on 'The construction grammar of Dutch', in 
collaboration with the Ghent University Linguistics Department. 

The workshop will bring together specialists in various domains of Dutch
grammar, using different approaches or formalisms that fall under the 
general rubric of construction-based grammar, with the aim of providing an 
overview of current research into aspects of the Dutch constructicon and of 
stimulating discussion between different (broadly) constructionist 
approaches. Papers will deal with present-day standard Dutch as well as 
earlier stages of the language and/or other present-day varieties. The 
workshop organizers are Ronny Boogaart, Timothy Colleman, and Gijsbert 
Rutten.

Confirmed speakers include Rens Bod, Geert Booij, Ad Foolen, Dirk 
Geeraerts et al., Freek Van de Velde, Ton van der Wouden, and Arie 
Verhagen.  In addition, there will be an invited talk by William Croft on recent 
theoretical advances in construction grammar. The workshop languages are 
English and Dutch.

As there is a small number of open slots in the programme, we invite 
proposals for 20-minute talks on any aspect of Dutch grammar addressed 
from a construction-based perspective. Papers with a contrastive focus are 
welcome, too, as are papers with a more general theoretical and/or 
methodological focus, provided they deal with issues directly relevant to the 
study of Dutch. 

Abstracts should reach us by December 15, 2010. Send your abstract, in 
Dutch or in English, to CxGDutch at gmail.com, as an e-mail attachment in .rtf 
or .pdf format. Abstracts should not exceed 400 words (not including 
references and figures or tables). Notification of acceptance will be given by 
January 15, 2011.
