The 2007 Conference will deal with issues in linguistic theory in its  
wider discursive, cognitive and typological perspective. Papers  
dealing with further elaboration of RRG in areas like morphology,  
syntax, semantics, information structure, as well as language  
processing are encouraged.  The workshops will include lecture  
sessions at three levels: introductory, graduate and specialized. The  
introductory and graduate sessions will be taught in Spanish and will  
provide the basics and core theoretical principles of RRG for those  
not yet acquainted with the theory. The specialized workshops will  
deal with advanced topics on RRG, and will be presented by RRG  
specialists.
