Meeting Description: 

The 25th International Lexical-Functional Grammar Conference (LFG20) will be
held online on the 23 - 26 June 2020. 

LFG20 welcomes work within the formal architecture of Lexical-Functional
Grammar as well as typological, formal, and computational work within the
'spirit of LFG' as a lexicalist approach to language employing a parallel,
constraint-based framework. The conference aims to promote interaction and
collaboration among researchers interested in non-derivational approaches to
grammar, where grammar is seen as the interaction of (perhaps violable)
constraints from multiple levels of structuring, including those of syntactic
categories, grammatical relations, semantics and discourse.
 

Program Information:

If you wish to attend the conference, please register at
http://link.uib.no/lfg20registration.

Registration is free; due to security precautions, registration is necessary
to access the video presentations and the real-time online discussions.

If you have registered but are not sure what your password is: please see the
mail entitled ''LFG20 conference registration and access to website'', which
was sent to you on registration; the password was provided in the 4th
paragraph.

The format of LFG20 will be as follows: oral presentations are pre-recorded
and viewable online prior to, as well as during, the conference itself. These
can be accessed via the conference website following registration; handouts
for oral presentations, poster presentations, and five-minute booster
presentations for posters can also be accessed in advance of and during the
conference via the conference website.

The interactive portion of the conference will take place approximately
between 1300 and 1700 UTC (times vary on different days). Due to the
restricted hours, these sessions will not involve live presentation, but will
consist of real-time Q&A and discussion sessions. Conference attendees should
therefore watch the pre-recorded presentations prior to the discussion
sessions, and can then engage in discussion of the presentations during the
online conference sessions. There are also specific poster sessions where it
will be possible to discuss the poster presentations with their authors, and
social sessions, as well as the annual business meeting of the International
Lexical-Functional Grammar Association.

The interactive parts of the conference will take place on two different
platforms: oral presentation discussion sessions, and the business meeting,
will take place via Zoom; poster discussions sessions and social sessions will
take place on Discord. Please see the following link for further information
(and we recommend you do this in advance of the moment when you want to join
the conference): https://lfg20.w.uib.no/info/. For Zoom sessions, please see:
https://lfg20.w.uib.no/info/zoom-plenary-sessions/ ; for Discord, please see
https://lfg20.w.uib.no/info/poster-social-sessions-discord/.

For further information about the conference, to register, to see the full
programme, to view pre-recorded talks and other materials, and to join the
online conference sessions, please visit the conference website:

We look forward to seeing you at LFG20 next week!
