Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Historical Linguistics; Language Acquisition; Linguistic Theories; Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 12-Mar-2017 

Meeting Description:

The focus of the Symposium is the interaction of lexis and grammar. The focus
is influenced by Halliday’s view of lexis and grammar as “complementary
perspectives” (1991: 32), and his conception of the two as notional ends of a
continuum (lexicogrammar), in that “if you interrogate the system
grammatically you will get grammar-like answers and if you interrogate it
lexically you get lexis-like answers” (1992: 64).


2nd Call for Papers:

The symposium will take place on Saturday 10 June 2017 at Edge Hill
University.

We welcome papers reporting on corpus-based studies which examine any aspect
of the interaction of lexis and grammar, or discuss methodological issues
related to the corpus-based study of lexicogrammar (e.g. annotation, metrics).
We are particularly interested in studies that interrogate the system
lexicogrammatically to get lexicogrammatical answers. The studies may:

- Focus more on the lexis or grammar end of the continuum, or adopt an
integrative approach.
- Offer different interpretations of the nature of lexicogrammar.
- Examine any language, or compare different languages.
- Examine L1 and/or L2 use.
- Adopt a synchronic or diachronic approach.
- Operate within any theoretical approach that takes into account the
interaction of lexis and grammar (e.g. Construction Grammar, Lexical Grammar,
Pattern Grammar, Systemic Functional Grammar, Valency Grammar).
- Discuss the implications of a lexicogrammatical approach for applied
linguistics  (e.g. lexicography, language teaching, translation, (critical)
discourse studies).
- Develop relevant research/teaching resources.

Presentations will be allocated 35 minutes (including 10 minutes for
discussion). Please send an abstract of 500 words (excluding references) to
Costas Gabrielatos (gabrielc at edgehill.ac.uk). The abstract should specify the
research questions or hypotheses, the corpus and methodology, and the main
findings.
 
The deadline for abstract submission is 12 March 2017. Abstracts will be
double-blind reviewed, and decisions will be communicated by 9 April 2017.
