The focus of LxGr is the interaction of lexis and grammar. It 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, as well as descriptions or
demonstrations of tools or resources are also welcome, as long as they
are relevant to both lexicogrammar and corpus linguistics.
If you would like to present, send an abstract of 500 words (excluding
references) to lxgr at edgehill.ac.uk.
 - Abstracts for research papers should specify the research focus
(research questions or hypotheses), the corpus, the methodology
(techniques, metrics), the theoretical orientation, and the main
findings.
 - Abstracts for position papers should specify the theoretical
orientation and the potential contribution to both lexicogrammar and
corpus linguistics.
 - Abstracts for tools or resources should provide a clear description
of the main functions, and specify the potential contribution to both
lexicogrammar and corpus linguistics.
Deadline for abstract submission: 1 March 2026
Full papers will be allocated 35 minutes (including 10 minutes for
discussion).
Work-in-progress reports will be allocated 20 minutes (including 5
minutes for discussion).
There will be no parallel sessions.
Participation is free.
