Subject: 26th International Lexical-Functional Grammar Conference

 
Full Title: 26th International Lexical-Functional Grammar Conference 
Short Title: LFG21 

Date: 15-Jun-2021 - 18-Jun-2021
Location: Oslo, Norway 
Contact Person: Helge Lødrup
Meeting Email: lfg-2021 at iln.uio.no
Web Site: https://www.hf.uio.no/iln/english/research/news-and-events/events/conferences/2021/lfg2021/index.html 

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

Call Deadline: 15-Feb-2021 

Meeting Description:

LFG21 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.

Important notice: Depending on the situation with respect to the pandemic, the
conference might be moved to an online event. In that case, the conference
will take place online in mid-July. The decision whether the conference will
move online will be made before the final submission date, and will be
announced accordingly.

Invited speakers:
Ida Toivonen (Carleton University, Canada) and Stephen Wechsler (University of
Texas at Austin, USA)

Workshop (half-day): 18 June 2021.

SUBMISSION SPECIFICATIONS:
The language of the conference is English, and all abstracts must be written

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.

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
