<BR><BR>Linguistic Field(s): Discipline of Linguistics; General Linguistics;
Linguistic <BR>Theories <BR><BR>Call Deadline: 15-Apr-2010 <BR><BR>Meeting
Description: <BR><BR>The aim of the International Contrastive Linguistics
Conference 2010 is to <BR>encourage the fine-grained comparative analyses
between two (or more) languages <BR>from different theoretical perspectives and
with different goals. Although <BR>contrastive linguistics has long been
associated primarily with applied <BR>linguistics (in particular foreign
language teaching), it is here seen as a <BR>subdiscipline of comparative
linguistics with major theoretical implications, <BR>which may contribute to our
understanding of cross-linguistic and <BR>language-internal variation.
<BR><BR>Call for Papers <BR><BR>The thematic focus of the 2010 edition of the
International Contrastive <BR>Linguistics Conference will be on the relationship
between contrastive <BR>linguistics and other approaches to language comparison.
What are the specific <BR>benefits of the contrastive approach? How can
methodologies and theoretical <BR>insights of other approaches to language
comparison contribute to the further <BR>development of contrastive linguistics?
<BR><BR>Therefore we invited well-known specialist from various fields of
language <BR>comparison to shed light on these questions in plenary talks: <BR>-
Johan Van der Auwera (Universiteit Antwerpen) <BR>Contrastive linguistics and
typology <BR>- Wayne Harbert (Cornell University) <BR>Contrastive linguistics
and historical comparative linguistics <BR>- Helga Kotthoff (Universität
Freiburg) <BR>Contrastive linguistics and intercultural communication <BR>-
Cecilia Poletto (Università Venetia) <BR>Contrastive linguistics and micro
variation <BR><BR>The International Contrastive Linguistics Conference will have
thematic session <BR>on the topics represented by the above mentioned plenaries.
Papers dealing with <BR>those aspects are especially welcome. <BR><BR>Apart from
that, ICLC 6 gives you the opportunity to propose other thematic <BR>sessions
within the broad field of contrastive linguistics. Proposals are to be <BR>sent
to (<A href="mailto:ICLC6@fu-berlin.de"><B>ICLC6@fu-berlin.de</B></A>) <B>by
February 20, 2010</B>. They should <BR>contain a description of the subject
and its relevance for the further <BR>development of contrastive linguistics as
well as names of possible contributors. <BR><BR>The topics selected for thematic
sessions will be made available on the website <BR>by March 1, 2010. We welcome
contributions dealing with all research areas of <BR>contrastive linguistics. We
especially encourage contributions to the thematic <BR>sessions. </SPAN></P>
