                  SECOND CIRCULAR (25 October 2007)  
                 
                 The Fifth International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC5) will be held July 7 - 9, 2008 at the University of Leuven (Belgium).

                  The aim of ICLC 5 is to encourage the comparison between two (or more) languages from a theoretical linguistic perspective. Although contrastive linguistics has long been associated primarily with applied linguistics (in particular foreign language teaching), it is defined here as a subdiscipline of linguistics with major theoretical implications, which may contribute to our understanding of linguistic structures and functions.

                  We invite papers or posters with a comparative approach to topics related to one of the following domains: discourse analysis and pragmatics, syntax and semantics, lexicon and morphology, phonetics and phonology. Empirically founded studies with theoretical implications will be especially welcomed.

                  We are pleased to announce the following keynote speakers: 

                    a..  Kasia Jaszczolt (Cambridge University) 
                      Meaning merger: An object of study for contrastive semantics and pragmatics?
                    b..  Ekkehard König (Freie Universität Berlin) 
                      Reviving Contrastive Linguistics: A Programmatic Sketch
                    c..  Peter Koch (Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen)

                      Lexical typology and contrastive linguistics
                    d..  Antoinette Renouf (University of Birmingham) 
                      A comparison of idiom construction in English and French mainstream journalism
                    e..  Anne Zribi-Hertz (Université de Paris 8) 
                      Plural as a non category: some teachings from language comparison
                  Paper presentations will be 20 minutes, with 10 minutes for discussion. To facilitate communication among participants, papers should preferably be presented in English. However, if necessary, presentations in Dutch, French, Spanish, German or Italian are also acceptable.

                  SUBMISSION INFORMATION
                  Participants can only present one paper. Exceptionally, two papers may be presented by the same participant, provided that both are co-authored. There is a maximum of three named authors/participants per paper.

                  Acceptance is based on anonymous review of submitted abstracts. The abstract should specify the subject addressed as well as the main conclusions. It should also outline the empirical data on which the analysis is based, and cite the main references to previous work on the subject. 

                  Abstracts should comply with the formatting of the MS Word template available here and sent by e-mail to ICLC5 at arts.kuleuven.be before December 31 2007 (extended deadline). Please use "ICLC5 abstract" as subject header of your e-mail and name the attachment: "ICLC5_your_full_name.doc". 

                  FEES/ ACCOMMODATION AND SOCIAL PROGRAMME
                  The registration fee is 150 Euros. The registration form will be available on the conference website as of early January 2008. Payments can be made by bank transfer or creditcard (VISA or MASTERCARD).

                  The registration fee includes three lunches, coffee breaks, the book of abstracts and the social programme, which consists of a guided tour of the mediaeval city of Leuven (Sunday evening, 6 July) and a reception with drinks and refreshments (Monday, 7 July). The conference dinner is offered at an additional price of 40 euros, and takes place on Tuesday evening (8 July) in the historical surroundings of the Beguinage, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

                  A list of hotels and hostels can be found on the conference website. Early booking is recommended, since many conferences are held in Leuven at this time of year.
