FUNCTIONAL GRAMMAR
clac 2/2000
Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia, Madrid, Spain
20-23 September 2000
Since 1984, there has been
a highly successful biennial series of International Conferences on Functional
Grammar: Amsterdam (1984), Antwerp (1986), Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (1988),
Copenhagen (1990), Antwerp (1992), York (1994), Córdoba (1996), and Vrije
Universiteit Amsterdam (1998). Each of these conferences has helped advance the
theory of Functional grammar and create an ever-growing international community
of researchers. It is now time to announce the ninth in this series.
The
Ninth International Conference on Functional Grammar (ICFG9) will be held at the Universidad Nacional de Educación a
Distancia (UNED) in Madrid, from 20 to 23 September 2000, and will be organized
by the UNED in collaboration with the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) and
the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM).
The organizing
committee are Ricardo Mairal, Vicky Escandell (UNED), Angela Downing, Joaquín
Garrido, Juana Marín-Arrese, Elena Martínez-Caro (UCM), Esperanza Torrego and
Jesús de la Villa (UAM).
The Conference will be
held in English and will be devoted to Functional Grammar (FG) as set out by
the late Simon Dik (Dik, S. 1997. The
Theory of Functional Grammar. Parts I & II. Ed. by K. Hengeveld.
Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter). Papers are invited that address matters arising from
that book and more generally from the tradition of work in FG.
There will also be a special section devoted to other
functional and/or cognitive models and approaches.

programme has now been decided. The collected abstracts can be found here.
