Meeting Description: 

On June 22, the Ghent research team GLIMS organises a one-day workshop on “Construction Grammar between Morphology and Syntax”.

The programme consists of seven talks on theoretical and empirical issues by internationally renowned as well as early career researchers in the fields of construction grammar (CxG) and morphology (CxM), with ample time for discussion provided. The speakers are Geert Booij (Leiden), Bert Cappelle (Lille), Muriel Norde (HU Berlin), Graeme Trousdale (Edinburgh), Alan Scott (Nottingham), Malte Battefeld (UGent-GLIMS) and Emmeline Gyselinck (UGent-GLIMS).

The workshop will take place at the main building of the Ghent University Faculty of Arts, Blandijnberg 2, room 100.072 (http://www.flw.ugent.be/leslokalen/lokid/05.03.100.072).

There will be a small registration fee of 15 EUR (payable in cash upon arrival) covering sandwiches for lunch and a snack during the coffee break.

Details of the programme can be found below. To register, please send an email to cxgworkshop at ugent.be no later than Monday, June 15.

Organising committee: Malte Battefeld, Emmeline Gyselinck, Timothy Colleman, Torsten Leuschner
