Proceedings of the LFG'19 Conference

Editor's Note

The 2019 Conference on Lexical Functional Grammar was held at the Australian Natural University in Canberra, Australia. The program committe for LFG19 were John Lowe and Agnieszka Patejuk. We would like to thank them for coordinating the review process and working with the local and workshop organizers to put together this year's broad program, which also included a teach-in. We would also like to thank the executive committee and the abstract and final paper reviewers, without whom the conference and the proceedings would not have been possible in this form.

The local organization was taken care of by the dedicated efforts of I Wayan Arka, Elisabeth Mayer, Jane Simpson, Avery Andrews and Cynthia Allen, whom we would like to thank for a wonderfully organized conference, rounded off with a bushwalk full of kangaroos and a wonderful dinner at the planetarium. Our thanks go out to them for their very hard work in ensuring a successful, varied and enjoyable conference.

This year's conference included a Workshop on the morphology-syntax interface in underdescribed languages and a teach-in on historical linguistics from an LFG perspective. Submitted papers from these events have been included in the proceedings.

The table of contents lists all the papers presented at the conference. Some papers were not submitted to the proceedings. For these papers, we suggest contacting the authors directly. We note that all of the abstracts were peer-reviewed anonymously (double-blind reviewing) and that all of the papers submitted to the proceedings underwent an additional round of reviewing. We would like express our heartfelt thanks to all of the anonymous reviewers for the donation of their expertise and effort in what is often a very short turn-around time.

Hard Copy: All of the papers submitted to the LFG19 proceedings are available in one large pdf file, to be viewed and printed with Adobe Acrobat. The proceedings' file was created via pdflatex tools and a script written by Stefan Müller. We are highly indebted to him for the use of the script. We thank Sarah Weaver at CSLI Publications for making sure the proceedings become accessible via the CSLI site. Finally, we thank Dikran Karagueuzian at CSLI Publications for his continuous support of our proceedings and our community.
