Meeting Description:

Corpus Linguistics in the South 12: Corpus studies at the lexis-grammar
interface

CLS12 will take place on Saturday 2 April 2016 at Edge Hill University.

The focus of CLS12 is the interaction of lexis and grammar. The focus is
influenced by Halliday's view of lexis and grammar as ''complementary
perspectives'' (1991: 32), and his conception of the two as notional ends of a
continuum (lexicogrammar), in that ''if you interrogate the system
grammatically you will get grammar-like answers and if you interrogate it
lexically you get lexis-like answers'' (1992: 64). 

As in all CLS events, participation is free. Coffee/tea and a light buffet
lunch will be provided, but participants are expected to cover their travel
and accommodation costs. Please note that the number of places is limited, and
places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you would like to register for this event, or require further information,
please contact Costas Gabrielatos (gabrielc at edgehill.ac.uk).


Call for Papers:

We welcome corpus-based papers which examine any aspect of the interaction of
lexis and grammar, or to extend Halliday's conception, studies which
interrogate the system lexicogrammatically to get lexicogrammatical answers.
The studies … 
… may be located more towards the lexis end or the grammar end of the
continuum.
… may be descriptive, theoretical or applied (e.g. related to language
teaching).
… may (but don't need to) be situated within any theoretical approach that
recognises the combination or interaction of lexis and grammar (e.g.
Construction Grammar, Lexical Grammar, Pattern Grammar, Systemic Functional
Grammar). 
… may be synchronic or diachronic.

We also welcome papers which discuss methodological issues related to the
corpus-based study of the lexis-grammar interface. 

Presentations will be allocated a total of 40 minutes (including at least 10
minutes for discussion). Please send an abstract of 400-500 words (excluding
references) to Costas Gabrielatos (gabrielc at edgehill.ac.uk). Please make sure
to specify the research questions or hypotheses, the corpus and methodology,
and the main findings.

The deadline for abstract submission is 29 February 2016. Abstracts will be
double-blind reviewed, and decisions will be communicated by 9 March 2016. 

The following colleagues have kindly accepted to review abstracts:
