CALL FOR PAPERS
The Fourth International Conference on Construction Grammar (ICCG4)
September 1-3, 2006
University of Tokyo, Japan
http://gamp.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iccg2006/iccg2006.html

E-mail (general inquiries): iccg4komaba@ecs.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp
E-mail (abstracts and program): iccg4program@ecs.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp

We are pleased to announce the call for papers for ICCG4, which marks the
fourth occasion on which researchers engaged in Construction Grammar, and
the study of grammatical constructions in general, gather together from
around the world. As in the past ICCGs, the main purpose of ICCG4 is to
provide a forum for presenting construction-based research in its various
models and applications. ICCG4 also aims to deepen our understanding of
Frame Semantics, which is a twin brother of Construction Grammar. In
addition, a special feature of ICCG4 is that we hope to promote mutual
exchange of ideas between practitioners of Construction Grammar and
Japanese scholars from various backgrounds who share a construction-based
approach to language.

Plenary speakers:
Collin Baker (International Computer Science Institute)
Charles J. Fillmore (ICSI & University of California at Berkeley)
Adele Goldberg (Princeton University)
Knud Lambrecht (University of Texas at Austin)
Yo Matsumoto (Kobe University)
Minoru Nakau (Reitaku University & University of Tsukuba)
Jan-Ola Ostman (University of Helsinki)
Masayoshi Shibatani (Rice University & Kobe University)
Michael Tomasello (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology)

Abstracts for regular conference papers (20 min. talk plus 10 min.
discussion) are invited on any aspect of linguistic analysis that is
concerned with grammatical constructions and/or semantic frames. We welcome
work on issues in syntax, morphology, semantics, pragmatics, discourse,
language acquisition, corpus linguistics, language typology/change, etc.

All abstracts (which must be in English) must be submitted electronically,
as attachment files in PDF format, to the following address by February
1st, 2006:

iccg4program@ecs.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp

The guidelines for abstract submission are as follows:
1. An author may submit at most one single or one joint abstract of which
he/she is the principal author. It is, however, possible to combine
presentation of an individual paper with (a) joint paper(s) of which he/she
is not the principal author. In the case of joint authorship, the first
author's address should be designated for communication with ICCG4.
2. In order that the abstracts be reviewed anonymously, authors should not
include their names or otherwise reveal their identity anywhere on the
abstract.
3. The length of each abstract should be approximately 500 words, not
including references. In addition, authors may add figures, tables, and/or
graphs. The total length of each abstract must be limited to two pages.
4. Abstracts must be formatted as Adobe Acrobat PDF files with the
(principal) author's name as filename. In addition, please also submit the
file in MS Word format at the same time if possible.
5. All abstracts must adhere to the following formatting specifications (a
sample file is on the ICCG4 website).
a. A4 size
b. top margin: 45 mm (or 1.77")

d. e-mail address where notification of (non-)acceptance should be sent
