2nd Call for Papers

The Leibniz Institute for the German Language in Mannheim is pleased to
announce the 10th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference
(ICLC-10). The conference will take place in Mannheim, Germany, from 18 to
21 July 2023.

The aim of the ICLC conference series, running since 1998, is to encourage
fine-grained cross-linguistic research comprising two or more languages from
a broad range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. ICLC brings
together researchers from different linguistic subfields (and neighboring
disciplines) to continue the (interdisciplinary) dialog on comparing
languages, to foster the development of an international community,  to
discuss the state of the art, and to advance possible new areas of
cross-linguistic research. Contrastive Linguistics as a linguistic subfield
has had a checkered history, but comparative and contrastive work has always
been and continues to be an important part of linguistic research. New
impulses for comparative and contrastive work include the increasing
availability of multilingual corpora or comparative work drawing on
naturalistic interaction data. At this anniversary edition of ICLC, we want
to provide a stage for the presentation of such new work, and reflect the
past, current and future developments of contrastive research in
linguistics.

We invite contributions addressing (meta)theoretical, methodological or
empirical issues, such as (but not limited to) the following:

*	Comparison of phenomena in two or more languages addressing topics
from any area and level of linguistic analysis, including lexicon, phonetics
and phonology, morphology, syntax and  morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics
as well as matters such as register and socio-cultural context 
*	The state of the art and recent advances in contrastive linguistic
research
*	The aims, objectives and scope of contrastive linguistic research
*	The status of contrastive research within linguistic studies and its
relationship with neighbouring or complementary approaches such as
historical, typological, micro-variationist, intercultural and contact
linguistics 
*	The link between contrastive studies and fields of applied
linguistics such as foreign language teaching and learning, translation
studies and corpus linguistics
*	Potentials and limits of theoretical frameworks in relation to
contrastive analysis (e.g., functional, cognitive, interactional,
generative, constructional approaches)
*	Theoretical and theoretical-methodological issues (comparability,
incommensurability, the socio-cultural context, tertia comparationis,
language universals)
*	Empirical and data-related methodological issues (parallel /
translation corpora, comparable corpora, learner corpora, multimodal
corpora, naturalistic data of face-to-face interaction, psycho- and
neurolinguistic experiments, surveys)
*	The significance of the contrastive perspective for
language-specific description on the one hand and for cross-linguistic
generalizations and the development of linguistic theory on the other hand  

Some of these issues will be addressed by five invited keynote speakers.
Confirmed keynote speakers are:

*	Artemis Alexiadou (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Leibniz-Centre
for General Linguistics, Germany)
*	Jenny Audring (Leiden University, The Netherlands)
*	Elwys De Stefani (University of Heidelberg, Germany, and KU Leuven,
Belgium)
*	Martin Haspelmath (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human
History, Germany)
*	Hilde Hasselgård (University of Oslo, Norway)

The conference will include a poster session. The conference language will
be English. Following the conference, all participants will be offered the
possibility to submit their contribution for publication in a volume of
selected conference papers.

Submission of Abstracts

We invite submissions for 20-minute oral presentations (plus 10 minutes for
discussion) or poster presentations. Abstracts should formulate a clear
research question and include a description of the methods, results and
conclusions. All submissions will be reviewed anonymously by at least two
reviewers. 

All submissions must be in English, fully anonymous, and no longer than one
page (12 point Times New Roman), with up to one additional page for data,
figures and references. Abstracts must be submitted via the EasyChair system
through the following submission web page
