*5th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference*

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. 

The more than 150 contributions (oral presentations and posters) to 
the conference are organized in thematical parallel sessions and 
address topics related to one of the following domains: discourse 
analysis and pragmatics, syntax and semantics, lexicon and 
morphology, phonetics and phonology.

The keynote speakers are:

Ekkehard König (Freie Universität Berlin)
Reviving Contrastive Linguistics: A Programmatic Sketch

Peter Koch (Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen)
Lexical typology and contrastive linguistics

Anne Zribi-Hertz (Université de Paris 8)
Plural as a non category: some teachings from language comparison

Kasia Jaszczolt (Cambridge University)
Meaning merger: An object of study for contrastive semantics and 
pragmatics?

Antoinette Renouf (University of Birmingham)
A comparison of idiom construction in English and French mainstream 
journalism
