Meeting Description:

This workshop, the first of an intended series, is a forum for both
constructionist researchers in the Nordic countries, regardless of what
languages they are studying, and linguists applying constructionist approaches
to any of the Nordic languages, regardless of where they are.


Call for Papers:

Constructions in the Nordics | Konstruktioner i Norden | Konstruksjoner i
Norden
Kiel University, 24–25 October 2019

In recent decades, Construction Grammar (CxG) has developed into a firmly
established, but also an increasingly multifaceted approach to the study and
description of language. This includes not only different strands of CxG
theory, but also a wide range of linguistic phenomena that are investigated
from a constructionist perspective, including work on lexical and grammatical
structures as well as language change, linguistic variation, language contact,
and language acquisition and even various forms of application in the fields
of language technology and language teaching.

CxG and related frameworks, such as Cognitive Grammar or usage-based
linguistics in general, have also seen an increase in popularity in the Nordic
countries as well as in studies on Nordic languages. While Nordic researchers
participate regularly in international conferences, CxG events specifically
related to the Nordics are rare, a theme session at the 2017 Svenskans
beskrivning in Uppsala being a notable exception.

Aiming at giving the vibrant but somewhat scattered Nordic CxG community a
platform to learn more about each other’s work and form new collaborations,
Constructions in the Nordics is planned as a series of CxG workshops, starting
out at Kiel University in 2019 and continuing at the University of Gothenburg
in 2020. At these workshops, we want to gather both CxG researchers in the
Nordic countries, regardless of what languages they are studying; and
linguists applying constructionist approaches to any of the Nordic languages,
regardless of where they are.

We welcome 30-minute presentations in English, Danish, Norwegian or Swedish.
Please submit your abstracts (through EasyChair, max. 500 words including
examples, excluding references) by June 3 2019.

We particularly want to encourage junior researchers within the field to
participate in the workshop. We are therefore offering the opportunity for MA
and PhD students to apply for two travel scholarships. To apply, send in a
short description of your research project to s.hoeder at isfas.uni-kiel.de .

Important Dates:

3 June 2019 – Abstract submission deadline
5 July 2019 – Notification of acceptance
24-25 October 2019 – Workshop in Kiel, Germany

Organizers:

Steffen Höder, Christian-Albrechts-Universität, Kiel
Benjamin Lyngfelt, University of Gothenburg
Julia Prentice, University of Gothenburg
