Fourth International Conference on Functional Discourse Grammar (IC-FDG-2016)
to be held in Vienna, Austria, from 31 August to 3 September 2016.

Objectives:
The aim of FDG2016 is to further develop the model of Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) as proposed by Kees Hengeveld and J. Lachlan Mackenzie. A full treatment of FDG can be found in: Hengeveld, Kees and Mackenzie, J. Lachlan (2008) Functional Discourse Grammar: A typologically-based theory of language structure.

Abstracts:
Each abstract should contain at least the following information: a clearly defined and well-motivated research question; crucial examples illustrating the relevance of the research question for the theory of FDG; main conclusions. Abstracts should be approximately 1,000 words long (excluding references), i.e. roughly 3 pages. The abstract should be anonymized, i.e. should not contain the name of the author, (remember also to replace all bibliographical references to works of the author simply by “Author” (year) and to remove the author’s name from the computer file).  Please indicate in the accompanying message whether you want to present a paper or a poster. The deadline for the submission of abstracts of papers and posters is 1 February 2016. Abstracts should be submitted electronically to the International Secretary of the FGF at fg-fgw at uva.nl.

Organizing Committee:
The Organizing Committee consists of Evelien Keizer, Julia Skala and Elnora Ten Wolde (all University of Vienna).

Programme Committee:
The Board of the Functional Discourse Grammar Foundation (FDGF) has appointed a Programme Committee consisting of the following members: Ventura Salazar García (Chair, University of Jaén), Evelien Keizer (University of Vienna), and Marize Mattos Dall’Aglio Hattnher (State University of São Paulo). The Programme Committee will evaluate all the abstracts submitted for the conference. Abstracts submitted by members of the Programme Committee will be evaluated by an independent member of the Board of the FDGF.

Preconference Course:
The preconference course on FDG is aimed at graduates and postgraduates and will be taught by Kees Hengeveld and Lachlan Mackenzie.
