We received totally 140 abstracts by February 20, after which no abstract submission is admitted. We hereby express our best gratitude for your interest. The evaluation of abstracts has been complete, and the list of presentations and day-by-day schedule can be found on the Program section.
Each abstract was reviewed anonymously and independently by at least three reviewers through a rigorous process. All review results were examined carefully and discussed by the members of the Program Committee and Organizing Committee before reaching final decisions. In the event of any significant discrepancy among the three reviewers, additional reviewers were called upon to resolve the matter. For the list of reviewers, please refer to the sections on Program or Committees.

The Fourth International Conference on Construction Grammar (ICCG4)
September 1-3, 2006. University of Tokyo, Japan
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)
Yukio Hirose (University of Tsukuba)
Knud Lambrecht (University of Texas at Austin)
Yo Matsumoto (Kobe University)
Jan-Ola Östman (University of Helsinki)
Masayoshi Shibatani (Rice University & Kobe University)
Michael Tomasello (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology)
Abstract Specifications
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. In addition, we are considering the possibility of having poster sessions. See 6-i below.
The deadline for submitting abstracts: February 1st, 2006.
(Late submission was considered until February 20, 2006.)
All abstracts (which must be in English) must be submitted electronically, as attachment files in PDF format, to the following address:
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 letters of the English alphabet only). 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 shown below).
a. A4 size
b. top margin: 45 mm (or 1.77")
c. top/left/right margin: approx. 30 mm (or 1.18")
d. font: Times/Times New Roman or similar font in 12 point
e. spacing: single-space
6. The body of the e-mail message must contain the following information:
a. paper title
b. name(s) of author(s)
c. affiliation(s) of author(s)
d. e-mail address where notification of (non-)acceptance should be sent
e. e-mail address for each author
f. postal address of the principal author
g. subfield(s) (e.g. syntax, phonology, etc.: in the case of multiple subfields, list in order of decreasing relevance)
h. three key phrases (tense, aspect, argument structure, clause-combining, etc.).
i. If you prefer to give a poster rather than a regular paper, please indicate this preference by writing "POSTER IF POSSIBLE" here.
7. The header (Subject) of the e-mail should be: Abstract Submission.

Authors will be notified regarding acceptance by April 15, 2006.
