Meeting Description:

LFG17 welcomes work within the formal architecture of Lexical-Functional
Grammar as well as typological, formal, and computational work within the
'spirit of LFG' as a lexicalist approach to language employing a parallel,
constraint-based framework. The conference aims to promote interaction and
collaboration among researchers interested in non-derivational approaches to
grammar, where grammar is seen as the interaction of (perhaps violable)
constraints from multiple levels of structuring, including those of syntactic
categories, grammatical relations, semantics and discourse.

Invited Speakers:

Geoffrey K. Pullum (University of Edinburgh) and Peter Sells (University of
York)

Social Programme and XLE Tutorial:

The conference will be preceded by an excursion on 24 July (possibly including
an overnight stay in the Danube valley). 
There will be an XLE tutorial on the day following the conference.
Details will be announced nearer the date of the conference.

Final Call for Papers:

Abstracts should be submitted using the online submission system at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lfg17

Submissions: Talks and Posters:

The main conference sessions will involve 45-minute talks (30 min + 15 min
discussion), and poster presentations. Contributions can focus on results from
completed as well as ongoing research, with an emphasis on novel approaches,
methods, ideas, and perspectives, whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or
computational. Presentations should describe original, unpublished work.

Timetable:

Deadline for abstracts: 15 February 2017, 23:59 GMT
Notification of acceptance: 30 March 2017
Conference: 25 July -27 July 2017

Submission Specifications:

The language of the conference is English, and all abstracts must be written
in English. All abstracts should be submitted using the online submission
system. Submissions should be in the form of abstracts only. Abstracts can be
up to three A4 pages: two pages total for text, plus one page for diagrams, in
10pt or larger type and including a title. Omit name and affiliation
(including in PDF document properties), and avoid obvious self-reference.

Please submit your abstract in .pdf format (or a plain text file). If you have
any trouble converting your file into .pdf please contact the Program
Committee at the address below. (On the Easychair submission system, if you
upload your abstract as a .pdf file, please simply type 'abstract attached' in
the abstract box.)

The number of submissions is not restricted. However, in the interests of high
participation and broad representation, each author should be involved in a
maximum of two oral papers and can only be a single author of one. There are
no restrictions on poster presentations. Authors may want to keep this in mind
when stating their preferences concerning the mode of presentation of their
submissions.

All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least three referees. Papers
accepted to the conference can be submitted to the refereed proceedings, which
will be published online by CSLI Publications. See
http://web.stanford.edu/group/cslipublications/cslipublications/LFG/ for
recent proceedings.

Organisers:

If you have queries about abstract submission or have problems using the
EasyChair submission system, please contact the Program Committee.
