Meeting Description:

Institute of English at the University of Silesia, has the pleasure to
announce the 4th international conference titled Various Dimensions of
Contrastive Studies (V-DOCS 2017). The conference aims at focusing on a
variety of possible approaches to contrasting languages. We want to welcome
academics who represent various methodologies and perspectives on linguistic
analysis: formal, functional, cognitive-semantic, pragmatic, and
anthropological. 

This year’s leading theme is: Various Dimensions of Place

The role of place in language analysis has traditionally been associated with
sociolinguistic studies into regional variation of languages. However, it
turns out that the category of place plays an important role in the structures
of language, from the place of articulation in phonetics to the place of
elements in word-formation, from the problems of place-naming to
conceptualizations of place in lexicology and semantics, from the analysis of
the places of syntactic constituents in various structures and constructions
to the contextual role of place in raising implicature in pragmatics and
discourse analysis.

We are pleased to announce that the following speakers have expressed their
agreement to present plenary lectures during the conference:

Prof. Annalisa Baicchi  (University of Pavia, Italy)
