It is influenced by Halliday\u2019s view of lexis and grammar as \u201ccomplementary perspectives\u201d (1991: 32), and his conception of the two as notional ends of a continuum (<em>lexicogrammar<\/em>), in that \u201cif you interrogate the system grammatically you will get grammar-like answers and if you interrogate it lexically you get lexis-like answers\u201d (1992: 64).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LxGr primarily welcomes papers reporting on&nbsp;<strong>corpus-based research<\/strong>&nbsp;on any aspect of the&nbsp;<strong>interaction of lexis and grammar<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 particularly studies that interrogate the system lexicogrammatically to get lexicogrammatical answers. However,&nbsp;<strong>position papers<\/strong>&nbsp;discussing&nbsp;<strong>theoretical<\/strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>methodological issues<\/strong>, as well as <strong>descriptions or demonstrations of tools or resources<\/strong> are also welcome, as long as they are relevant to both lexicogrammar and corpus linguistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>focus more on the lexis or grammar end of the continuum, or adopt an integrative approach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>discuss different interpretations of the nature of lexicogrammar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>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).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>discuss empirical findings in need of theoretical interpretation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>adopt a synchronic or diachronic approach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>examine any language, or compare different languages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>examine L1 and\/or L2 use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>discuss the implications of the findings of corpus-based lexicogrammatical research for applied linguistics (e.g. lexicography, language learning, language processing, language teaching, language testing and assessment, translation, sociolinguistics, discourse studies, forensic linguistics).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>report on the development of relevant research resources, tools, or applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Full papers<\/strong>&nbsp;are allocated a total of&nbsp;<strong>35 minutes<\/strong>&nbsp;(including 10 minutes for discussion).<br><strong>Work-in-progress reports<\/strong>&nbsp;are allocated a total of&nbsp;<strong>20 minutes<\/strong>&nbsp;(including 5 minutes for discussion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are no parallel sessions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Participation is free.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to be added to the LxGr mailing list, or have any questions, contact <a href=\"mailto:lxgr@edgehill.ac.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lxgr@edgehill.ac.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>11th Symposium on Corpus Approaches to Lexicogrammar (LxGr2026) Thursday 2 &amp; Friday 3 July 2026 The abstract review process is underway &#8211; decisions will be communicated in late April.
