 Background |
Since
1984, there has been a highly successful biennial series of
International Conferences on Functional Grammar: The first
twelve 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), São José do Rio Preto (2006).
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
Conference Programme |
Although
the conference programme will host all possible topics related
to the further elaboration of F(D)G, the conference will start
on Wednesday afternoon 3 September with a special workshop on
Computational Applications of Functional Grammar.
The length of the papers will be 30 minutes followed by
another 10 minutes of discussion.
The language of the
conference will be English.
Apart from the workshop and general sessions, there will be
ample room for poster presentations. |
