Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce that the 8th Biennial International Conference on
the Linguistics of Contemporary English (BICLCE) will be held from 26 to 28
September 2019 at the University of Bamberg (Germany). The plenaries are:

Tony McEnery (Lancaster University): The UK, Europe and the path to Brexit -
the long view: Europe in two centuries of British newspapers
Anne O’Keeffe (Mary Immaculate College, Limerick): Using corpus linguistics to
profile learner English
Carita Paradis (Lund University): The new London-Lund Corpus (LLC-2): A window
into natural speech in the 21st century
Javier Pérez-Guerra and Elena Seoane (University of Vigo): Comparative
variation in World Englishes: New, (more) newer determinants?
Benedikt Szmrecsanyi (Catholic University of Leuven): Exploring probabilistic
grammar(s) in varieties of English

The aim of the BICLCE conference is to encourage communication and academic
cross-fertilization between researchers working on all aspects of contemporary
English and using different theoretical and methodological frameworks.
Previous conferences were held in Edinburgh (2005), Toulouse (2007), London
(2009), Osnabrück (2011), Austin TX (2013), Madison WI (2015) and Vigo (2017),
along the same lines. We aim for the conference in Bamberg to build on the
success of its predecessors. 

BICLCE2019 provides a platform for work on contemporary varieties of English
from various perspectives. Research papers and workshops may address topics in
syntax, morphology, sociolinguistics, semantics and pragmatics, discourse
analysis, cognitive linguistics, as well as phonetics and phonology. Purely
historical work is less suitable at this conference, but papers that draw upon
diachronic evidence to support studies of present-day English are very
welcome.
