□ About Conference

The ICWKL Comittee will hold its fourth international conference on June, 29 - July 1, 2022 at the International Hall on the Korea University in Seoul, South Korea. The theme of this conference is functional linguistics, which values linguistic function, and sees linguistic structure, the antonym for linguistic function, as the by-product of language use.

There are many branches within functional linguistics: typological approaches, corpus-based approaches, cognitive approaches, pan-chronic approaches, discourse analysis-based approaches etc. Amongst them two branches are with us for the Keynote Speech Section: the two keynote speeches are to be given by Prof. William Croft (The University of New Mexico), a renowned researcher of Usage-based Construction Grammar, a cognitive approach, Prof. James R. Martin (The University of Sydney), a renowned researcher of Systemic Functional Grammar, a discourse analysis-based approach, C.M.I.M Matthiessen(The University of Hongkong Polytechnic), a renowned researcher of Systemic Functional Linguistics.

Of course, the conference plans to offer comprehensive research presentations of any functional linguistics branches from all over the world so as to deepen and widen our perspectives on how to give explanations to linguistic phenomena. We encourage you to join us as a presenter to make the conference fruitful.
