Full Title: 5th Symposium on Corpus Approaches to Lexicogrammar 
Short Title: LxGr2020 

Date: 04-Jul-2020 - 04-Jul-2020
Location: Ormskirk, United Kingdom 
Contact Person: Costas Gabrielatos
Meeting Email: gabrielc at edgehill.ac.uk
Web Site: http://ehu.ac.uk/lxgr 

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Discourse Analysis; Language Acquisition; Lexicography; Sociolinguistics 

Call Deadline: 22-Mar-2020 

Meeting Description:

The symposium will take place on Saturday, 4 July, 2020 at Edge Hill
University.

The focus of LxGr 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).

LxGr2020 is funded by the Department of English, History & Creative Writing,
Edge Hill University.

PARTICIPATION IS FREE. Refreshments and a light buffet lunch will also be
provided. However, participants are expected to cover their travel and
accommodation costs. Please note that the number of places is limited, and
places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

For more information, visit the LxGr website (https://ehu.ac.uk/lxgr) or

Call for Papers: 

EXTENDED DEADLINE for abstract submission:  March 22, 2020

The symposium will take place on Saturday 4 July 2020 at Edge Hill University.

The focus of LxGr is the interaction of lexis and grammar, and it 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). However, LxGr is not
restricted to a particular theoretical approach to lexicogrammar.

LxGr primarily welcomes papers reporting on corpus-based research on any
aspect of the interaction of lexis and grammar, and is particularly interested
in studies that interrogate the system lexicogrammatically to get
lexicogrammatical answers. However, position papers discussing theoretical or
methodological issues are also welcome, as long as they are relevant to both
lexicogrammar and corpus linguistics. 
More specifically, studies can …

-- focus more on the lexis or grammar end of the continuum, or adopt an
integrative approach.
-- discuss different interpretations of the nature of lexicogrammar.
-- 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 empirical findings in need of theoretical interpretation.
-- adopt a synchronic or diachronic approach.
-- examine any language, or compare different languages.
-- examine L1 and/or L2 use.
-- discuss the implications of the findings of corpus-based lexicogrammatical
research for applied linguistics (e.g. forensic linguistics, lexicography,
language acquisition, language processing, language teaching, language testing
and assessment, translation, sociolinguistics, discourse studies).
-- report on the development of relevant resources for research and/or
applications (e.g. language teaching, translation).

If you would like to present, send an abstract to lxgr at edgehill.ac.uk.
Abstracts must be 500 words (excluding references), and must clearly specify
a) the aims, research questions, or hypotheses, b) the theoretical
underpinnings of the study, c) the corpus and methodology, and d) the main
findings.

The extended deadline for abstract submission is 22 March 2020. Abstracts go
through double-blind peer review. Decisions will be communicated by 19 April
2020.

Full papers will be allocated 35 minutes (including 10 minutes for
discussion). 
Short papers and work-in-progress reports will be allocated 20 minutes
(including 5 minutes for discussion). There will be no parallel sessions.
