Meeting Description:

This conference will be a forum for contrastive studies (with an emphasis on English). The theme of contrast intended to include any inter- or intra- linguistic variation. Therefore, studies that contrast different geographic, sociolinguistic, or historical varieties just as studies that contrast entire languages are welcome. From comparative grammar to variationist sociolinguistics and critical discourse analysis, the use of contrast in language science is an established heuristic. By confronting different languages or varieties of the same language, the organizers hope to bring to better bring to light previously unnoticed phenomena or to gain improved understanding of well-known phenomena. Studies on any facet of English are welcome (from phonetics to pragmatics, from a diachronic or synchronic perspective, concerning acquisition or translation, quantitative analyses, etc.), the only requirement being that study be empirical and contrastive in approach: 

- Comparing English and another language
- Comparing one variety of English with one or more sociolinguistic varieties of English 
- Comparing contemporary English with one or more historical varieties of English
