Subject: Symposium on Corpus Approaches to Lexicogrammar

Symposium on Corpus Approaches to Lexicogrammar 
Short Title: LxGr2017 

Date: 10-Jun-2017 - 10-Jun-2017 
Location: Ormskirk, United Kingdom 
Contact: Costas Gabrielatos 
Contact Email: gabrielc at edgehill.ac.uk 
Meeting URL: https://www.edgehill.ac.uk/english/research/conferences/lxgr2017 

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Historical Linguistics; Language Acquisition; Linguistic Theories; Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

The focus of the Symposium 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).
