Meeting Description:
The symposium will take place on Saturday 16
June 2018 at Edge Hill University.
The focus of the Symposium 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).

Symposium: Corpus Approaches to Lexicogrammar (LxGr2018)
Extended deadline for abstract submission: 4 March 2018
The symposium
will take place on Saturday 16 June 2018 at Edge Hill University.
LxGr
primarily welcomes papers reporting on corpus-based research on any aspect of the
interaction of lexis and grammar. However, position papers discussing theoretical or
methodological issues are also welcome, as long as they are relevant to both
lexicogrammar and corpus linguistics. LxGr is particularly interested in studies
that interrogate the system lexicogrammatically to get lexicogrammatical answers.
More specifically, studies may …
- 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 teaching, translation, sociolinguistics, discourse studies).
- Report on the development of relevant resources for research and/or
applications (e.g. language teaching, translation).
If you would like to
present, send an abstract of 500 words (excluding references) to Costas Gabrielatos
(gabrielc
edgehill.ac.uk).
Please make sure that the abstract clearly specifies the research questions or
hypotheses, the corpus and methodology, and the main findings.
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.
The extended deadline for abstract submission
is 4 March 2018. Abstracts will be double-blind reviewed, and decisions will be
communicated by 31 March 2018.
Participation is free – LxGr2018 is funded
by the Department of English, History & Creative Writing, Edge Hill University.
Coffee/tea and a light buffet lunch will be provided, but participants are expected
to cover their travel and accommodation costs. Please note that the number of places
is limited, and places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
