The symposium will take place online on Friday 7 and Saturday 8 July 2023.
Invited Speaker: Gaëtanelle Gilquinhttps://perso.uclouvain.be/gaetanelle.gilquin (Université catholique de Louvain): Construction grammar and lexico-grammar, and why they matter to each other
If you would like to present, send an abstract of 500 words (excluding references) to lxgr@edgehill.ac.ukmailto:lxgr@edgehill.ac.uk. Make sure that the abstract clearly specifies the research focus (research questions or hypotheses), the corpus, the methodology (techniques and metrics), the theoretical orientation, and the 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). Work-in-progress reports will be allocated 20 minutes (including 5 minutes for discussion).
There will be no parallel sessions. Participation is free.
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).
