Meeting Description:

The Leibniz Institute for the German Language in Mannheim is pleased to
announce the 10th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC-10).
The conference will take place in Mannheim, Germany, from 18 to 21 July 2023.

The aim of the ICLC conference series, running since 1998, is to encourage
fine-grained cross-linguistic research comprising two or more languages from a
broad range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. ICLC brings
together researchers from different linguistic subfields (and neighboring
disciplines) to continue the (interdisciplinary) dialog on comparing
languages, to foster the development of an international community, to discuss
the state of the art, and to advance possible new areas of cross-linguistic
research. Contrastive Linguistics as a linguistic subfield has had a checkered
history, but comparative and contrastive work has always been and continues to
be an important part of linguistic research. New impulses for comparative and
contrastive work include the increasing availability of multilingual corpora
or comparative work drawing on naturalistic interaction data. At this
anniversary edition of ICLC, we want to provide a stage for the presentation
of such new work, and reflect the past, current and future developments of
contrastive research in linguistics.

Call for Papers:

We invite contributions addressing (meta)theoretical, methodological or
empirical issues, such as (but not limited to) the following:

- Comparison of phenomena in two or more languages addressing topics from any
area and level of linguistic analysis, including lexicon, phonetics and
phonology, morphology, syntax and  morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics as well
as matters such as register and socio-cultural context 
- The state of the art and recent advances in contrastive linguistic research
- The aims, objectives and scope of contrastive linguistic research
- The status of contrastive research within linguistic studies and its
relationship with neighbouring or complementary approaches such as historical,
typological, micro-variationist, intercultural and contact linguistics 
- The link between contrastive studies and fields of applied linguistics such
as foreign language teaching and learning, translation studies and corpus
linguistics
- Potentials and limits of theoretical frameworks in relation to contrastive
analysis (e.g., functional, cognitive, interactional, generative,
constructional approaches)
- Theoretical and theoretical-methodological issues (comparability,
incommensurability, the socio-cultural context, tertia comparationis, language
universals)
- Empirical and data-related methodological issues (parallel / translation
corpora, comparable corpora, learner corpora, multimodal corpora, naturalistic
data of face-to-face interaction, psycho- and neurolinguistic experiments,
surveys)
- The significance of the contrastive perspective for language-specific
description on the one hand and for cross-linguistic generalizations and the
development of linguistic theory on the other hand  

Some of these issues will be addressed by five invited keynote speakers.
Confirmed keynote speakers are:

- Artemis Alexiadou (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Leibniz-Centre for
General Linguistics, Germany)
- Jenny Audring (Leiden University, The Netherlands)
- Elwys De Stefani (University of Heidelberg, Germany, and KU Leuven, Belgium)
- Martin Haspelmath (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History,
Germany)
- Hilde Hasselgård (University of Oslo, Norway)

There will be a possibility to publish selected papers in a conference volume.

*Submission of Abstracts*

We invite submissions for 20-minute oral presentations (plus 10 minutes for
discussion). Abstracts should formulate a clear research question and include
a description of the methods, results and conclusions. All submissions will be
reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers.

All submissions must be in English, fully anonymous, and no longer than one
page  (12 point Times New Roman), with up to one additional page for data,
figures and references. Abstracts will be submitted via the EasyChair system.
Further details on the submission procedure, registration and practical
information will be announced in the 2nd call.

Submission deadline: 16 Jan, 2023
