Meeting Description:

We are very pleased to announce the 7th International Symposium on
Functional Linguistics (SILF), which will take place at the Faculty of
Languages, Literature, and Linguistics at the Federal University of
Minas Gerais, in Brazil, between September 4th and 6th 2024. The theme
of this edition of SILF is “New directions for classical themes in
functionalism”. With this theme, we seek to bring together studies
that discuss the tension between tradition and innovation in
functionalist linguistic research, in order to encourage not only the
establishment of dialogue and interfaces with areas still only timidly
explored by functionalists, but also to revisit themes that still lack
answers and that, through new methods, can be explored in new
directions. The event is organized in ten thematic axes:

    Text-discourse organization
    Language and grammar teaching
    Typology and linguistic diversity
    Construction Grammar
    Variation and Change
    Cognition and Usage-based models
    Discourse and social interaction
    Description and functional analysis of natural languages
    Computational applications and interfaces
    Language, Society, and Linguistic Policies

Confirmed plenary speakers:

John Du Bois (University of California, Santa Barbara)
Natalia Levshina (Radboud University)
Lilián Guerrero (National Autonomous University of Mexico)
Riccardo Giomi (University of Amsterdã)
Thaïs Cristófaro Silva (Federal University of Minas Gerais)
Adriana Silvina Pagano (Federal University of Minas Gerais)

Call for Papers:

Submitted abstracts for presentation proposals should have between
400-500 words and clearly outline the theoretical framework, research
problem, objectives, methodology, and final results (for completed
works) or partial results (for works in progress).
Abstracts must be written in Portuguese or English.
Each person can submit up to 2 abstracts, one as the main author and
the other as a co-author, in any presentation modality.
Submissions will be made through the JEMS Platform via the link:
https://jems.sbc.org.br/jems2.
Researchers with a Ph.D., Master's and Ph.D. students, as well as
undergraduate students, are eligible to participate in the event by
presenting their work in any modality.

Paper presentations will occur in three formats:
a) Oral presentation in a thematic session (see list at
www.letras.ufmg.br/silf);
b) Oral presentation in a theme-free communication session (according
to the Event's Thematic Axes);
c) Poster presentation (according to the Event's Thematic Axes).

More information can be found at www.letras.ufmg.br/silf. Send your
questions about the submission process to silf2024 at gmail.com.
