[Corpora-List] Second call for papers: Third International Conference on the Linguistics of Contemporary English (ICLCE3)

[Bas Aarts]

Second call for papers The Third International Conference on the 
Linguistics of Contemporary English ICLCE3 14/15-17 July 2009 Institute of 
English Studies Senate House University of London
 
The attention devoted to the linguistics of the English language has 
resulted in a broad body of work in diverse research traditions. The aim of 
the ICLCE conference is to encourage the cross-fertilisation of ideas 
between different frameworks and research traditions, all of which may 
address any aspect of the linguistics of contemporary English. The first 
and second ICLCE conferences were held in Edinburgh (2005) and Toulouse 
(2007) along the same lines. We aim for the London conference to build on 
the success of those events.

The main conference will be preceded on 14 July 2009 by a one-day symposium 
to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Survey of English Usage, founded 
by Randolph Quirk at UCL. The theme of this symposium will be 'Current 
Change in the English Verb Phrase'.

Plenary speakers at the main conference:
 
James Blevins (Cambridge)
Bernd Kortmann (Freiburg)
James M. Scobbie (Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh)
Sali Tagliamonte (Toronto)
