Meeting Description: 

Over the last years, three conferences (Potsdam 1999, Amsterdam 2002, Santiago
de Compostela 2005) presented reflections on grammaticalization, adducing new
evidence - and sometimes counterevidence - for the concept of
grammaticalization. The fourth NRG conference at the University of Leuven
intends to bring together innovating papers that explore the boundaries of the
current grammaticalization research.

Lexicalization, or Word Formation?''

Holger Diessel (University of Jena)
''Rethinking the Grammar-Lexicon Continuum''
