The National School of Languages, Linguistics, and Translation of the National Autonomous University of Mexico and the Languages Faculty of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla have the honour to host the 19th Congress of the Systemic Functional Linguistics Latin American Association (ALSFAL) and the 4th Colloquium of Systemic Functional Linguistics in Mexico, which will take place from July 29th to August 2nd.
The topic of this edition is SFL in Latin America: two decades of dialogue, collaboration and exchange, as a celebration of the 20th anniversary of our association. This is a special occasion to remember together the path we have created since ALSFAL’s establishment, and to talk about our contributions, discuss challenges and achievements of the association, and make plans for the future. As in previous editions of our congress, ALSFAL seeks to open research possibilities and contribute to the theoretical and practical development of Systemic Functional Linguistics in Latin America and worldwide.
