Submission of abstracts
We invite papers presenting constructionist approaches to various linguistic phenomena, from theoretical and/or applied perspectives, in the form of oral presentations (20 min. plus 5 min. discussion) or posters. Please submit your abstracts by January 17th, 2024, to EasyAbs. Authors may (co-) submit at most two abstracts, either one single-authored paper and one co-authored one (not as first author) or two co-authored papers (at most one as first author).
Abstracts should not exceed 400 words (excluding references) and should clearly state research questions, approach, method, data and (expected) results. Since all abstracts will be submitted to blind review, make sure no author-specific information is available in the text of the abstract or in the file metadata.

Apart from organizing ICCG13, we are working together within several projects, often with a focus on showcasing the vibrant research community in construction grammar in West Sweden and the wider Nordic region.
Constructions in the Nordics
https://constructionsinthenordics.org/
Constructions in the Nordics is a biennial series of workshops intended as a forum for both constructionist researchers in the Nordic countries, regardless of what languages they are studying, and linguists applying constructionist approaches to any of the Nordic languages, regardless of where they are studying.
Constructional Approaches to Nordic Languages
https://benjamins.com/catalog/cal.37
Constructional Approaches to Nordic Languages is a book volume published in the series Constructional Approaches to Language (CAL) at John Benjamins. The volume presents eight studies of linguistic phenomena in Nordic languages (notably Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish) from a construction grammar perspective.
A Constructicon for Swedish
https://www.gu.se/en/research/a-constructicon-for-swedish
The project A Constructicon for Swedish has built a database of Swedish constructions, a so-called constructicon. It is a large-scale electronic resource for linguistic, lexicographic, and educational purposes, as well as for language technology applications.
