SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
The Fourth International Conference on Construction Grammar (ICCG4)

We are pleased to announce the call for papers for ICCG4, which marks
the fourth occasion on which researchers engaged in Construction
Grammar, and the study of grammatical constructions in general, gather
together from around the world. ICCG4 also aims to deepen our
understanding of Frame Semantics, which is a twin brother of
Construction Grammar. In addition, a special feature of ICCG4 is that we
hope to promote mutual exchange of ideas between practitioners of
Construction Grammar and Japanese scholars from various backgrounds who
share a construction-based approach to language.
