Meeting Description:

Since 1970s Contrastive Phraseology has drawn the attention of many scholars
and boosted research aimed at providing translators and lexicographers with
solutions both to applied and theoretical questions.

Conceived of more than the mere comparison between phraseological units in two
or more languages, contrastive phraseology offers the tools to improve the
investigation of the so-called  ‘phraseological universals’, and it does so by
analysing logical and figurative-associative mental processes across a wide
range of different cultures. The analysis of phraseological repertoires indeed
involves the recourse to the cultural perspective, which, almost always,
cannot be neglected if one wants to describe and explain the complexity of
phraseological units.

More recently, an increasing number of studies have confirmed the importance
of fine-grained phraseological competence in foreign language teaching since
it enables the learners to communicate more effectively and to sound more
natural.

With the Italian language as the foil of comparison, the conference aims to
discuss the role of contrastive phraseology in a wide array of areas of
interest.


Call for Papers: 

We invite contributions on applied and theoretical topics, including but by no
means exhausted by:

- bilingual lexicography
- linguistic and cultural equivalence
- Phraseology in language teaching
- Phraseology and Construction Grammar
- the role of metaphor and metonymy in phraseologisms

The languages of the conference are French, English, German, Italian, Russian
and Spanish. In order to facilitate comprehension and discussion, we suggest
that participants should use in their handouts and slides a language different
from the one chosen for their oral presentation.

Please, upload your abstract as a .doc file via EasyAbs

http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/FC2016

no later than 30 June 2016. 

Abstracts should not exceed 300 words excluding figures and references.
