[Lingtyp] 2nd CALL: ICLC-11 International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (September 17-19, 2025, Prague, Czech Republic)

[Nadvornikova, Olga]

Dear colleagues,

Please find below the second call for papers for the 11th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference<https://iclc11.ff.cuni.cz/calls-and-circulars/call-for-papers/>, to be held on September 17-19 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic.

  *   Invited speakers: Sabine de Knop<https://www3.usaintlouis.be/4DACTION/rechw_detail_chercheur/100078/A> (Université Saint-Louis, Bruxelles, Belgium), Volker Gast <https://linktype.iaa.uni-jena.de/VG/> (Friedrich-Schiller-University, Jena, Germany), Dan Zeman <https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/daniel-zeman> (Charles University, Prague)

The aim of the conference is to promote cross-linguistic research comprising two or more languages from a broad range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. Following the success of ICLC-10 in Mannheim 2023<https://iclc10.ids-mannheim.de/>, ICLC-11 wants to bring together researchers from different linguistic subfields and neighbouring disciplines (such as contrastive linguistics, typology, language contact, language acquisition, etc.) to continue the interdisciplinary dialogue on comparing languages and advance possible new areas of cross-linguistic research.
Anonymized abstracts (400-500 words, excluding figures and references) in PDF format should be submitted via Open Review conference management system (see Abstract submission steps at https://iclc11.ff.cuni.cz/calls-and-circulars/call-for-papers/) by February 24, 2025.

We invite abstracts on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:

(1) Comparison of phenomena in two or more languages focused on any area and level of linguistic analysis:
* lexicon
* phonetics and phonology
* morphology, syntax and morphosyntax, linguistic complexity
* semantics, pragmatics, register and socio-cultural context

(2) Methodological challenges and solutions in cross-linguistic research:
* language corpora (multilingual, learner, and multimodal) and issues of linguistic annotation (e.g., Universal Dependencies)
* comparability issues, tertia comparationis, language universals; experimental and naturalistic interaction data
* AI and new digital tools in linguistic analysis
* low-resourced languages

(3) Contrastive linguistics in touch with related disciplines:
* generative, model-theoretic, functional or cognitive (e.g., constructional) approches
* historical, sociolinguistic and variationist perspectives; registers, multimodality, pragmatics, interculturality; language contact; language policy
* cognitive and psycholinguistic approaches to bilingualism and multilingualism; language acquisition, language teaching and learning
* translation studies

Best regards,
Olga Nádvorníková
