Cardiff Symposium
1 November 2016We will be hosting the Cardiff Symposium: Influences and Opportunities, January 12-13 2017 at Cardiff University. This is a special event on the occasion of Professor Robin Fawcett’s birthday. Not only do we want to celebrate his birthday but we’d also like to acknowledge the huge contribution he has made to Systemic Functional Linguistics and to linguistics at Cardiff University.
