Meeting Description:

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. Previous ICLCE conferences were held in Edinburgh (2005), Toulouse (2007) and London (2009) along the same lines. We aim for the Osnabrueck conference to build on the success of those events. 

Call for Papers:

Please note: the deadline for the submission of abstracts has been extended to 15 January, 2011. 
Notification of acceptance will be sent out by February 1, 2011.
