Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; General Linguistics; Historical Linguistics; Lexicography; Linguistic Theories 

Meeting Description: 

The symposium will take place on Saturday 16 June 2018 at Edge Hill
University.

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).
