Meeting Description:

We are proud to announce that the 9th International Conference on Construction
Grammar (ICCG9) will be held at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora,
Brazil, from 5-7 October 2016. The history of the International Conference on
Construction Grammar dates back to 2001, when the first conference was
organized in Berkeley, California, by Hans Boas and Mirjam Fried. Since then,
ICCG has become one of the most important fora for the discussion of research
in Construction Grammar, with conferences being held every two years at major
universities in North America, Europe and Asia. In its ninth edition, ICCG
adds a new country, Brazil, and a new region, South America, to the list, as
evidence of the worldwide growth of the research in Construction Grammar.

Final Call for Papers:

This is the final call for theme sessions for the 9th International Conference
on Construction Grammar (ICCG9), to be held at the Federal University of Juiz
de Fora, Brazil, from October 5 to 7 2016.

ICCG9 will cover a broad range of topics related to the research on
Construction Grammar and Frame Semantics and welcomes the submission of
abstracts for both long and short presentations, as well as theme session
proposals. Potential topics include constructional and/or frame-based
approaches to morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, typology, language
variation and change, computational modeling, corpus linguistics, language
acquisition and learning etc. All abstracts and presentations must be in
English.

Theme sessions will be included in the main conference schedule and may vary
on length (from 7 to 12 slots) and format (with or without intro and
concluding sessions). Each slot in a theme session fits a long presentation,
followed by discussion.

Abstract Submission:

All abstracts – including theme session proposals – must be submitted
electronically through EasyAbs: http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/iccg9. Only
PDF files will be accepted. The submission period for theme session proposals
is August 10 2015 to January 31 2016.

Theme Session Proposals should not exceed 2 pages of A4, and must include: the
session title, an abstract, three to five keywords, a list of references, a
list of potential presenters, featuring authors names and affiliation and the
titles of their papers.

The conveners of the accepted theme sessions are responsible for managing
abstract submission and rating for their sessions.

Accepted Theme Session Proposals will be made available on the conference
website on March 1 2016. Authors whose papers were listed as part of theme
sessions may still submit their abstracts to the general sessions, if the
theme session is not accepted.
