Meeting Description: 

The aim of the International Contrastive Linguistics Conference 2010 is to 
encourage the fine-grained comparative analyses between two (or more) languages 
from different theoretical perspectives and with different goals. Although 
contrastive linguistics has long been associated primarily with applied 
linguistics (in particular foreign language teaching), it is here seen as a 
subdiscipline of comparative linguistics with major theoretical implications, 
which may contribute to our understanding of cross-linguistic and 
language-internal variation. 

Call for Papers 

The thematic focus of the 2010 edition of the International Contrastive 
Linguistics Conference will be on the relationship between contrastive 
linguistics and other approaches to language comparison. What are the specific 
benefits of the contrastive approach? How can methodologies and theoretical 
insights of other approaches to language comparison contribute to the further 
development of contrastive linguistics? 

Therefore we invited well-known specialist from various fields of language 
comparison to shed light on these questions in plenary talks: 
- Johan Van der Auwera (Universiteit Antwerpen) 
Contrastive linguistics and typology 
- Wayne Harbert (Cornell University) 
Contrastive linguistics and historical comparative linguistics 
- Helga Kotthoff (Universität Freiburg) 
Contrastive linguistics and intercultural communication 
- Cecilia Poletto (Università Venetia) 
Contrastive linguistics and micro variation 

The International Contrastive Linguistics Conference will have thematic session 
on the topics represented by the above mentioned plenaries. Papers dealing with 
those aspects are especially welcome. 

Apart from that, ICLC 6 gives you the opportunity to propose other thematic 
sessions within the broad field of contrastive linguistics. Proposals are to be 
sent to (ICLC6 at fu-berlin.de) by February 20, 2010. They should 
contain a description of the subject and its relevance for the further 
development of contrastive linguistics as well as names of possible contributors. 

The topics selected for thematic sessions will be made available on the website 
by March 1, 2010. We welcome contributions dealing with all research areas of 
contrastive linguistics. We especially encourage contributions to the thematic 
sessions.
