Meeting Description:

The focus of LxGr 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).

LxGr primarily welcomes papers reporting on corpus-based research on any
aspect of the interaction of lexis and grammar -- particularly studies that
interrogate the system lexicogrammatically to get lexicogrammatical answers.
However, position papers discussing theoretical or methodological issues are
also welcome, as long as they are relevant to both lexicogrammar and corpus
linguistics. More specifically, studies can …

- focus more on the lexis or grammar end of the continuum, or adopt an
integrative approach.
- discuss different interpretations of the nature of lexicogrammar.
- operate within any theoretical approach that takes into account the
interaction of lexis and grammar; e.g. Construction Grammar, Lexical Grammar,
Pattern Grammar, Systemic Functional Grammar, Valency Grammar.
- discuss empirical findings in need of theoretical interpretation.
- adopt a synchronic or diachronic approach.
- examine any language, or compare different languages.
- examine L1 and/or L2 use.
- discuss the implications of the findings of corpus-based lexicogrammatical
research for applied linguistics (e.g. forensic linguistics, lexicography,
language acquisition, language processing, language teaching, language testing
and assessment, translation, sociolinguistics, discourse studies).
- report on the development of relevant resources for research and/or
applications (e.g. language teaching, translation).

main findings. Abstracts will be double-blind reviewed, and decisions will be
communicated within four weeks.

Full papers will be allocated 35 minutes (including 10 minutes for
discussion).
