 Background |
Since 1984, there has been a highly successful
biennial series of International Conferences on Functional
Grammar: The first ten conferences took place in Amsterdam -
UvA (1984), Antwerp - UIA (1986), Amsterdam - VU (1988),
Copenhagen (1990), Antwerp - UIA (1992), York (1994), Córdoba
(1996), Amsterdam - VU (1998), Madrid - UNED (2000), Amsterdam
- UvA (2002), Gijón. (2004).
The aim of ICFG is to further elaborate the model of
Functional Grammar (FG) that was originally proposed by the
late Simon Dik. A full treatment of FG may be found in: Dik,
Simon C. 1997, The Theory of Functional Grammar. 2 Vols. Ed.
by Kees Hengeveld. Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter. The most recent
version of FG is called Functional Discourse Grammar. A sketch
of this model may be found in: Hengeveld, Kees & J.
Lachlan Mackenzie, ‘Functional Discourse Grammar’, In:
Keith Brown (ed), Encyclopedia of Language and Lingistics, 2nd
Edition. Oxford: Elsevier. |

The length of the papers will be 30 minutes followed by
