Call Deadline: 15-Mar-2024

Meeting Description:

The focus of LxGr is the interaction of lexis and grammar. 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).

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.

Call for Papers:

If you would like to present, send an abstract of 500 words (excluding
references) to lxgr at edgehill.ac.uk. The abstract should specify the
research focus (research questions or hypotheses), the corpus, the
methodology (techniques and metrics), the theoretical orientation, and
the main findings. Abstracts will be double-blind reviewed by members
of the Programme Committee.

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. lexicography,
language learning, language processing, language teaching, language
testing and assessment, translation, sociolinguistics, discourse
studies, forensic linguistics).
-- report on the development of relevant research resources, tools, or
applications.

Full papers will be allocated 35 minutes (including time for
discussion).
Work-in-progress reports will be allocated 20 minutes (including time
for discussion).
There will be no parallel sessions.

PARTICIPATION IS FREE
