Deadline Extensionː

The Organizing Committee of ICLC8 is letting you know that the deadline for
abstracts for ICLC8 has been extended to Sunday, 13 November 2016

Submission of abstracts: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iclc8

Papers are invited on a broad range of themes in the areas of contrastive
linguistics provided they address one or more of the following topics: 

- The aims, objectives and scope of contrastive linguistics; its relationship
with neighbouring disciplines such as historical, typological,
micro-variationist, intercultural and contact linguistics 
- Corpus-based research and its relationship with contrastive studies 
- Relations between contrastive linguistics and translation
- The role of theoretical frameworks; comparability, incommensurability and
the tertium comparationis; the necessity and significance of the
'socio-cultural link' 
- Different frameworks on contrasting languages
- The significance of the contrastive perspective for language-specific
description on the one hand and general interface issues on the other (e.g.
phonology/ morphology/ syntax/ /semantics/pragmatics) 
- Contrasts between languages at the levels of text, register, discourse, and
information structure; contrasts between dialects; contrasts between dialects
and standard languages

Papers will last 30 minutes: 20 minutes for presentation, 10 minutes for
discussion. All submissions will be anonymously evaluated by members of the
scientific committee with the relevant expertise. 

Submissions must be made through the EasyChair system, which may be accessed
