*Final Call for Papers & Deadline Extension*
************************************************

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. One person may submit only one (oral or poster) 
paper as the first author. The number of co-authored submissions is not 
limited. However, presenting more than one paper (oral or poster) at the 
conference by a single person should be avoided.

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

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iclc10

Submission Procedure:

1.    Login at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iclc10

5.    By following the instructions, fill out the form.
6.    Select topics relevant to your submission from the list of Topic

assigning submissions to reviewers, for compiling the conference program 
and for conference analytics. Ideally, you select at least one topic 
from each list.
7.    Specify your preferred presentation type: Oral or Poster. Both 
presentation types are considered to be of equal value.
