LFG22: The 27th International Lexical-Functional
Grammar Conference
12 July - 14 July 2022
University of Groningen
Conference website: https://www.ai.rug.nl/lfg22/
Conference e-mail (NOT for abstract submission): lfgconf2022 'at'
gmail.com <http://gmail.com>
Abstract submission deadline: 22 February 2022, 23:59 UTC-12 (midnight
anywhere on Earth)
Abstracts should be submitted using the online submission system at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lfg22
Invited speakers: Miriam Butt (University of Konstanz) and Helge Lødrup
(University of Oslo)
Workshop:
A workshop on Formal Grammars and Cognition will be held on Friday 15
July 2022 (keynote speaker:
Balthasar Bickel, University of Zürich). The workshop aims to promote
discussion and collaboration
between researchers working on formal theories of grammar (including but
not limited to Lexical
Functional Grammar) and those in the fields of language and cognition.
Please refer to the
conference website for more details.
Conference mode:
We are currently planning a physical conference and hope that speakers
will be able to attend in
person. A synchronous, online participation option will be available.
LFG22 welcomes work within the formal architecture of Lexical-Functional
Grammar as well as
typological, formal, and computational work within the 'spirit of LFG'
as a lexicalist approach to
language employing a parallel, constraint-based framework. The
conference aims to promote
interaction and collaboration among researchers interested in
non-derivational approaches to
grammar, where grammar is seen as the interaction of (perhaps violable)
constraints from multiple
levels of structuring, including those of syntactic categories,
grammatical relations, semantics and
discourse.
SUBMISSIONS: TALKS AND POSTERS
The main conference sessions will involve 45-minute talks (30 min + 15
min discussion), and poster
presentations. Contributions can focus on results from completed as well
as ongoing research, with
an emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives,
whether descriptive, theoretical,
formal or computational. Presentations should describe original,
unpublished work.
DISSERTATION SESSION
As in previous years, we are hoping to hold a special session that will
give students the chance to
present recent PhD dissertations (or other student research
dissertations). The dissertations must
be completed by the time of the conference, and they should be made
publicly accessible (e.g., on
the World Wide Web). The talks in this session should provide an
overview of the main original
points of the dissertation; the talks will be 20 minutes, followed by a
10-minute discussion period.
Students should note that the main sessions are certainly also open to
student submissions. Students
who present papers in either session will receive a small subvention
towards their conference costs
from the International LFG Association (ILFGA).
TIMETABLE
Deadline for abstracts: 22 February 2022, 23:59 UTC-12 (midnight
anywhere on Earth)
Notification of acceptance: 31 March 2022
Conference: 12 July - 14 July 2022
SUBMISSION SPECIFICATIONS
The language of the conference is English, and all abstracts must be
written in English.
All abstracts should be submitted using the online submission system.
Submissions should be in the
form of abstracts only. Abstracts can be up to three A4 pages, including
figures and
references. Abstracts should be in 10pt or larger type, with margins of
at least 2cm on all four
sides, and should include a title. Omit name and affiliation (including
in PDF document properties),
and avoid obvious self-reference.
For dissertation session submissions, please add "Dissertation" to the
title of your abstract.
Please submit your abstract in .pdf format (or a plain text file).
The number of submissions is not restricted. However, in the interests
of high participation and
broad representation, each author should be involved in a maximum of two
oral papers and can only be
a single author of one. There are no restrictions on poster
presentations. Authors may want to keep
this in mind when stating their preferences concerning the mode of
presentation of their
submissions.
All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least three referees.
Papers accepted to the
conference can be submitted to the refereed proceedings, and will be
published, subject to
acceptance, online by CSLI Publications. (Please note that papers
submitted to the proceedings are
no longer automatically accepted for publication in the proceedings.) See
http://web.stanford.edu/group/cslipublications/cslipublications/LFG/ for
recent proceedings.
PRE-CONFERENCE EXCURSION
There will be an optional conference excursion on Monday 11 July 2022.
