Corpus-based research in recent decades has identified and sought to explain a variety of phenomena on the level of discourse involving the syntactic and semantic-pragmatic regularity of lexical units. The recurrence of certain syntagmatic profiles of a word or phraseological unit in similar communicative situations reinforces the idea of ​​the existence of patterns of usage within our mental lexicon, which are used in an almost automated way in the communicative process. Taking into account current methods for the description of linguistic patterns, the general theme of this conference seeks to address the phenomenon of existing models in the language from the following positions:
 

1. From a cognitive point of view, the metaphorical and metonymic models underlying phraseological units represent an interesting area of study, in both the contrastive and monolingual fields.
    

2. In terms of Construction Grammar, phraseological constructions, in their status as conventionalized form-meaning pairs with free slots, lend themselves especially to a comprehensive syntactic-pragmatic analysis.
    

3. Within the framework of Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics, corpora and usage-based data constitute a sound basis for the pragmatic analysis of the syntagmatic patterns of the phraseological units, either within the same language or at a contrastive level.

 

Proposals should have an approximate length of 500 words, including bibliography and key words. Please submit the abstract of your planned presentation using the submission form.

​

Presentations will last 30 minutes (20 minutes of presentation + 10 minutes for discussion).

 

The languages ​​of the conference are German, Spanish and English. Papers offered for subsequent publication will be subject to a process of blind peer review.

 

The FRASESPAL research group will be pleased to welcome you to Santiago de Compostela at the Conference EUROPHRAS 2019 Produktive Modelle in der Phraseologie / EUROPHRAS 2019 Productive Patterns in Phraseology / EUROPHRAS 2019 Modelos productivos en Fraseología on 24-25 January 2019.
