5th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC-5)
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, July 7-9, 2008

FIRST CIRCULAR: CALL FOR PAPERS

We are pleased to announce that the Fifth International Contrastive 
Linguistics Conference (ICLC5) will be held on July 7 – 9, 2008 at 
the University of KULeuven.

The aim of the conference is to promote linguistic comparison between 
two (or more) languages in the area of theoretical linguistics. 
Although contrastive linguistics has for long been primarily 
associated with applied linguistics (in particular foreign language 
teaching), it is defined here as a subdiscipline of linguistics with 
a strong theoretical dimension, which may contribute to our 
understanding of linguistic structures and functions.

Papers or posters with a comparative approach are invited on topics 
related to one of the following domains: discourse analysis and 
pragmatics, syntax and semantics, lexicon and morphology, phonetics 
and phonology. Any empirically founded research with theoretical 
implications will be welcomed.

The following keynote speakers have confirmed their participation:
Kasia Jaszczolt (University of Cambridge)
Ekkehard König (Freie Universität Berlin)
Peter Koch (Eberhard-Karls Universität Tübingen)
Antoinette Renouf (University of Birmingham)
Anne Zribi-Hertz (Université de Paris 8)

Papers will have a maximum duration of 20 minutes with an additional 
10 minutes for discussion. To ensure maximum intelligibility among 
the audience, they should preferably be in English. However, if 
necessary, they may be presented in Dutch, French, Spanish, German or 
Italian.
