Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce that the 5th edition of the international Biennial
Conference on the Diachrony of English (CBDA-5) will take place in Tours,
France, from July 4 to July 6 2017, hosted by the Université François-Rabelais
and organised in collaboration with the Université de Picardie Jules-Verne
(Amiens) and the Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne (Reims).

The main objective of the conference is to provide linguists working on the
history of English with an opportunity to present their work and a forum
within which to discuss current issues in English diachronic linguistics. 

Further information will shortly be made available on the meeting website:

http://www.cbdaconference.org/

We look forward to having the opportunity to welcome you to the beautiful
medieval and Renaissance city of Tours.
 
Please note that this edition of the Conference will be dedicated to the
memory of Professor Xavier Dekeyser, of the University of Leuven, who had
actively supported CBDA since its inception in 2008. Xavier passed away on May
23rd, 2016, and this is a very painful loss for all the organizers.


Call for Papers:

The main objective of the conference is to provide linguists working on the
history of English with an opportunity to present their work and a forum
within which to discuss current issues in English diachronic linguistics. We
invite contributors, therefore, to submit session papers on all topics
concerned with change and variation in the history of English (including
syntax, semantics, phonetics, phonology, morphology, pragmatics,
sociolinguistics, language contact, lexicology), and on all periods in the
history of English, and even on other languages directly relevant to the study
of English. Full papers will be allowed 30 minutes, including 10 minutes for
discussion. If you would like to present a paper, please send an abstract
(approximately 300 - 400 words), in DOC or PDF format, to both Fabienne Toupin
(fabienne.toupin at univ-tours.fr) and Brian Lowrey (brian.lowrey at u-picardie.fr).
Abstracts should reach us no later than February 28, 2017. We would ask you to
leave the abstract anonymous, but to cite your name and affiliation as well as
the title of your paper in the e-mail.

We also welcome workshop proposals. If you wish to organise a workshop on a
specific theme, please send details of your proposal (topic, provisional list
of speakers, etc.) to both Fabienne Toupin (fabienne.toupin at univ-tours.fr) and
Brian Lowrey (brian.lowrey at u-picardie.fr) by January 31, 2017 at the latest.
Workshops, ideally, should contain at least 4 or 5 slots, and need to be
compatible with the main conference schedule. The general format (30 minute
presentations, allowing 10 minutes for discussion) should therefore be
adopted.
