30th International Lexical Functional Grammar Conference

The 30th International Lexical Functional Grammar Conference (LFG 2025) is the annual meeting for researchers working within and around the Lexical Functional Grammar theoretical framework, one of the major constraint-based, non-transformational theories of syntax and its interface with semantics and morphology. Over three decades the conference has tracked the development of LFG from its origins in the analysis of complex predicates and long-distance dependencies to its contemporary engagement with computational parsing, typological coverage, and formal semantics.

Attendees include syntacticians, morphologists, computational linguists building LFG parsers, and researchers exploring the framework's applications in machine translation and grammar engineering. The conference is welcoming to researchers working in related frameworks who want to engage with LFG's distinctive approach to grammatical architecture, and to graduate students seeking a theoretically rigorous community in which detailed linguistic analysis is valued.
