The conference will host all possible topics related to the further development of F(D)G. However, one topic will be given special attention at the conference: Complex structures in Grammar and Discourse.
The length of the papers will be 30 minutes followed by 10 minutes of discussion.
Apart from the workshop and general sessions, there will be ample room for poster presentations.The language of the conference will be English.

Given the role the quality of the abstract plays in the selection procedure, it should contain at least the following items: a clearly defined and well-motivated research question; the crucial examples illustrating the relevance of the research question; and the main conclusions the paper arrives at. Abstracts should have a length of approximately 1000 words, i.e. roughly 3 pages, and should not contain the name of the author. References to the literature cited should be given. References containing the name of the author may also be given but will be suppressed before the abstract is sent to the programme committee. 
Please indicate in the accompanying message whether you want to present a paper or a poster.
 
Abstracts should be submitted electronically to the international secretary of the Functional Grammar Foundation at   fg-fgw@uva.nl
