About GRATO

The International Conference on Grammar and Text (GRATO) is held, on a biannual basis, since 2009, by the ‘Grammar & Text’ research Group (from NOVA Linguistics Centre – Centro de Linguística da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa). We are pleased to announce the 5th GRATO conference, which will be organized in 2007, around three main topics:

Grammar & Grammaticalization: we invite the submission of papers addressing grammatical phenomena from various theoretical and methodological perspectives. We thus expect to promote the debate of both ‘grammar’ and / or ‘grammaticalization” topics which may enhance the study of natural languages’ forms and constructions.

Text & Textualization: we invite the submission of papers that deal with ‘text’ as both a process and a product, aiming at the characterization of different manners of ‘making text’. The proposals should analyse text classes or specific texts, pointing out the connection between relevant contextual and linguistic aspects and showing the praxeological and gnoseological functioning related to language activity.

Discourse and Discursivity: papers are invited which deal with the concept of utterance as a linguistic-discursive unit, showing the relations between discourse, production conditions and social action, and emphasising the discursivity process as a permanent co-construction of forms and contents. We welcome papers related to one of the above topics and also contributions which propose links between those topics.

GRATO 2017 will take place on 28-30 June 2017 at NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities of Universidade NOVA de Lisboa | Avenida de Berna, 26 C, 1069-061, Lisboa, Portugal.
