"Exploring the Lexis-Grammar Interface" (ELeGI 2006) International
Conference

5-7 October 2006

University of Hanover, Germany

  <http://www.elegi-2006.com/> http://www.elegi-2006.com 

Conference organisers: Rainer Schulze and Ute Römer

Contact: Ute Römer, ute.roemer at anglistik.uni-hannover.de   

 

Over the last two or three decades, research in corpus linguistics has shown
that lexis and grammar are closely interdependent. The conference aims to
bring together scholars with a common interest in aspects of lexis-grammar
co-selection in the English language. We aim to discuss empirical evidence
on the inseparability of lexis and grammar, and explore in what respects
these two parts that are often treated separately in linguistic description
form an organic whole. 

 

We are pleased to announce that the following keynote speakers have accepted
our invitation:

Professor Sylviane Granger, University of Louvain, Belgium 

Professor Michael Hoey, University of Liverpool, UK 

Professor Susan Hunston, University of Birmingham, UK 

Professor Joybrato Mukherjee, University of Giessen, Germany 

Professor Michael Stubbs, University of Trier, Germany

The topics of their talks will range from 'lexico-grammatical patterns of
EAP vocabulary' over 'verb complementation across varieties of English' and
'patterns, units and semantic sequences' to 'technology and phraseology –
with some notes on the history of corpus linguistics'. 

 

We invite the submission of 1-page abstracts (300-500 words, excluding

references) for 20-minute presentations (plus discussion) of original
research on any aspect related to the conference theme, including (but not
restricted to) pedagogical, diachronic, and genre-specific aspects.

 

The deadline for submitting abstracts is 15 March 2006. All abstracts will
be reviewed and authors will be notified of acceptance/rejection by 1 May
2006.
