Meeting Description:

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).

LxGr primarily welcomes papers reporting on corpus-based research on
any aspect of the interaction of lexis and grammar -- particularly
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).
