Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 01-Dec-2005 

Meeting Description:

Papers are invited in any area of research dealing with linguistic aspects of
''non-free syntax'', e.g., collocations, idioms and fixed phrases, and the
linguistic background of the papers may range from grammatical, lexical,
semantic and pragmatic aspects of these expressions. In addition, presentations
are invited from various methodological aspects of the conference topics (e.g.,
diachronic change, lexicalization, typology, corpus studies, on-line and
off-line psycholinguistic methods, L1 and L2 learning and performance,
contrastive analyses, and lexicographic issues). 

Invited plenary speakers:
Cristina Cacciari (Modena): Collocations and idioms in language learning
Urpo Nikanne (Turku): Grammatical descriptions of idioms and related expressions
Michael Stubbs (Trier): Corpus-based studies on idioms and collocations

The conference language will be English, and the proceedings will be published
in early 2007 as a volume in the University of Joensuu's Studies in Languages
(for the titles published in this series, see
http://cc.joensuu.fi/linguistics/studiesinlanguages.html).

One-page abstracts of maximally 500 words should be submitted electronically to
idioms2006 at joensuu.fi by December 1, 2005.

In your abstract submission please give your full contact information and also
indicate your preference for the presentation mode: paper (20 min. + 10 min. for
discussion), or poster. 

Those wishing to organize a workshop at the meeting should submit a one-page
description of their workshop theme as well as the abstracts of the
presentations to the conference organizers by the same deadline.

Notification of acceptance as well as the program, abstract booklet, information
on accommodation and travel will be sent out by January 12, 2006.

rather than the first person. References should include all published literature
relevant to the paper, including previous works of the authors but it should not
include unpublished works.

registered in the EPIA Conference. At least two program committee members with
recognized expertise in described field will review each submission.
