01/01/1970 - 00:00 Europe/Prague constructiongrammar.org/iccg6 CALL FOR PAPERS We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the Sixth International Conference on Construction Grammar (ICCG-6). The conference will be held in Prague, Czech Republic, at Charles University (Faculty of Arts), on September 3-5, 2010. This gathering marks 10 years of a conference series that started in 2000 and has developed into a regularly held international forum for promoting discussion and collaboration among linguists interested in Construction Grammar and Frame Semantics, as well as related constructional approaches, including their application in a wide range of empirical research. Previous conferences took place in Berkeley, CA (2001), Helsinki (2002), Marseille (2004), Tokyo (2006), and Austin, TX (2008). Further information about Construction Grammar can be found at http://constructiongrammar.org There is also a pre-conference workshop organized by Luc Steels and his research associates, a two-day Tutorial on Fluid Construction Grammar. Details can be found at the conference website as well.
