Conference papers deal with linguistic aspects of "non-free syntax", e.g., collocations, idioms and fixed phrases, and the linguistic background of the papers may range from grammatical, lexical, semantic to pragmatic aspects of these expressions. In addition, presentations are invited from various methodological aspects of the conference topics (e.g., diachronic change, lexicalization, typology, corpus studies, on-line and off-line psycholinguistic methods, L1 and L2 learning and performance, contrastive analyses, and lexicographic issues).
