LFG23: Second Call for Papers
by Agnieszka Patejuk 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

Second Call for Papers [Apologies for cross-posting] LFG23: The 28th International Lexical-Functional Grammar Conference 21 July - 25 July 2023 University of Rochester Conference website: https://sas.rochester.edu/cls/lfg23/ Conference e-mail (NOT for abstract submission): lfg23 'at' rochester.edu Abstract submission deadline: 15 February 2023, 23:59 UTC-12 (midnight anywhere on Earth) Abstract submission link will be announced at https://sas.rochester.edu/cls/lfg23/ in January 2023 Invited speakers: TBA Workshop: A workshop on "Revisiting Lexical Integrity" is planned for 25 July. More information on the topic and abstract submission can be found at https://sas.rochester.edu/cls/lfg23/workshop/ Conference mode: We are currently planning a physical conference and hope that speakers will be able to attend in person. A synchronous, online participation option will be available. LFG23 welcomes work within the formal architecture of Lexical-Functional Grammar as well as typological, formal, and computational work within the 'spirit of LFG' as a lexicalist approach to language employing a parallel, constraint-based framework. The conference aims to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers interested in non-derivational approaches to grammar, where grammar is seen as the interaction of (perhaps violable) constraints from multiple levels of structuring, including those of syntactic categories, grammatical relations, semantics and discourse. LFG23 is sponsored by the Center for Language Sciences at the University of Rochester (http://www.sas.rochester.edu/cls/) SUBMISSIONS: TALKS AND POSTERS The main conference sessions will involve 45-minute talks (30 min + 15 min discussion), and poster presentations. Contributions can focus on results from completed as well as ongoing research, with an emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives, whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or computational. Presentations should describe original, unpublished work. DISSERTATION SESSION As in previous years, we are hoping to hold a special session that will give students the chance to present recent PhD dissertations (or other student research dissertations). The dissertations must be completed by the time of the conference, and they should be made publicly accessible (e.g., on the World Wide Web). The talks in this session should provide an overview of the main original points of the dissertation; the talks will be 20 minutes, followed by a 10-minute discussion period. Students should note that the main sessions are certainly also open to student submissions. Students who present papers in either session will receive a small subvention towards their conference costs from the International LFG Association (ILFGA). TIMETABLE Deadline for abstracts: 15 February 2023, 23:59 UTC-12 (midnight anywhere on Earth) Notification of acceptance: 31 March 2023 Conference: 21 July - 25 July 2023 SUBMISSION SPECIFICATIONS The language of the conference is English, and all abstracts must be written in English. All abstracts should be submitted using the online submission system. Submissions should be in the form of abstracts only. Abstracts can be up to three A4 pages, including figures and references. Abstracts should be in 10pt or larger type, with margins of at least 2cm on all four sides, and should include a title. Omit name and affiliation (including in PDF document properties), and avoid obvious self-reference. For dissertation session submissions, please add "Dissertation" to the title of your abstract. Please submit your abstract in .pdf format (or a plain text file). The number of submissions is not restricted. However, in the interests of high participation and broad representation, each author should be involved in a maximum of two oral papers and can only be a single author of one. There are no restrictions on poster presentations. Authors may want to keep this in mind when stating their preferences concerning the mode of presentation of their submissions. All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least three referees. Papers accepted to the conference can be submitted to the refereed proceedings, and will be published, subject to acceptance, online by University of Konstanz/CSLI Publications. (Please note that papers submitted to the proceedings are no longer automatically accepted for publication in the proceedings.) See http://web.stanford.edu/group/cslipublications/cslipublications/LFG/ for recent proceedings. PRE-CONFERENCE ACTIVITIES There will be a day of pre-conference activities on 21 July. The ParGram Project Meeting will be held in the morning and there will be a social activity in the afternoon. ORGANISERS AND THEIR CONTACT ADDRESSES If you have queries about abstract submission or have problems submitting your paper, please contact the Program Committee.
