***********************************************************************************

              Attention! The second circular with a new deadline for abstract submission (31 December 2007) will be posted soon.

                    First circular  

                   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 Leuven.

                    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: 

                    a.. Kasia Jaszczolt (Cambridge University)

                    a.. Ekkehard König (Freie Universität Berlin)

                    a.. Peter Koch (Eberhard-Karls Universität Tübingen)

                    a.. Antoinette Renouf (University of Birmingham)

                    a.. 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.
