From Wayan Arka:
Time is fast approaching for LFG19 (8–10 July 2019) in Canberra, which is organised in conjunction with ICHL24 (1–5 July 2019). There will be a workshop on syntax and morphology interface on the last day of LFG19 (10 July 2019) and a one-day teach-in on using LFG in diachronic linguistics in between ICHL24 and LFG19 (6 July 2019).
The registration is now open for all these events; please visit the webpages for further information:
From Nigel Vincent:
6 July 2019
Australian National University, Canberra
Kersti Börjars, Louisa Sadler and Nigel Vincent
This teach-in is aimed largely at two audiences: (i) those interested in analysis of linguistic change but not yet familiar with LFG and (ii) those who are familiar with LFG, but not with how it can be used to analyse linguistic change. At the same time some of the material covered will be new and potentially of interest to those who already have some familiarity with work in both areas. The day will start with a choice of two sessions where participants can choose whichever best complements their background.
The course is organized in conjunction with ICHL24 (http://www.dynamicsoflanguage.edu.au/ichl24/) and the Lexical-Functional Grammar Conference 2019 (http://www.dynamicsoflanguage.edu.au/lfg-2019/) and is free of charge. For students who need credits to transfer to their home institution, suitable assessment can be arranged.
