Subject: 25th International Lexical-Functional Grammar Conference

 
Full Title: 25th International Lexical-Functional Grammar Conference 
Short Title: LFG20 

Date: 23-Jun-2020 - 25-Jun-2020
Location: Oslo, Norway 
Contact Person: Helge Lødrup
Meeting Email: lfg-2020 at iln.uio.no

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics; Semantics; Syntax 

Call Deadline: 15-Feb-2020 

Meeting Description:

LFG20 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.

LFG20 will be preceded by two other linguistics conferences being held in
Oslo: the 12th International Conference of Nordic and General Linguistics,
June 15-17, and the 12th International Austronesian and Papuan Languages and
Linguistics Conference, June 18-20.

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 Presentations should describe original, unpublished work.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 2020, 23:59 UTC-12 (midnight anywhere on
Earth)
Notification of acceptance: 27 March 2020

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, including figures and references. Abstracts should be in 10pt
or larger type, with margins of at least 2cm on all four sides, and should
include 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, and
will be published, subject to acceptance, online by CSLI Publications. (Please
note that papers submitted to the proceedings are no longer automatically
accepted for publication in the proceedings.) See
http://web.stanford.edu/group/cslipublications/cslipublications/LFG/ for
recent proceedings.
