The 18th International Conference on Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) will take place as an in-person meeting on July 14 and July 15, 2025, at Kobe University, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.
The committee invites proposals on original research relating to any aspect of linguistics that uses Role and Reference Grammar (Van Valin and LaPolla 1997; Van Valin 2005, 2023; Bentley, Mairal Usón, Nakamura and Van Valin 2023). We encourage papers dealing with further elaboration of RRG in areas such as morphology, syntax, semantics, information structure, as well as language processing and language change. Papers on lesser studied languages and those that adopt a comparative or a typological approach are especially welcome.
