[Corpora-List] Third International Conference on the Linguistics of English (ICLCE3)

[Bas Aarts]

Call for papers
The Third International Conference on the 
Linguistics of Contemporary English (ICLCE3)
14-17 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 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 by a one-day symposium to 
celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Survey of English Usage. The theme of 
this symposium will be Current Change in the English Verb Phrase.

Plenary speakers:

James Blevins (Cambridge)
Bernd Kortmann (Freiburg)
James M. Scobbie (Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh)
Sali Tagliamonte (Toronto)
