Notification of acceptance by 18 May 2014.

Selected contributions will be invited for publication. 

The four thematic strands of the conference are:

Corpus Linguistics and Language Assessment:

This strand invites papers using corpus linguistic methodology to describe learner language and, ideally, using such description as a basis for studying the validity of language tests or assessment systems.  Papers dealing with error classification approaches are particularly welcome as are papers focusing on feedback as well as on validation theory per se. (Conveners: Günther Sigott & Nikola Dobrić)

Discursive Practices across Professional Fields:

This strand invites papers and data workshops on helping professional discourse such as therapeutic, counseling, coaching and medical discourse as well as other types of professional conversations. The aim is to deepen our understanding of the particularities within and across the respective professional practices and to shed light on the practical contribution that applied linguistic research makes to these professional practices. (Convener: Eva-Maria Graf)

Language Contact and Multilingualism in World Englishes:

This strand invites papers on aspects of World Englishes that take into account language contact and the bi/multilingual settings of varieties of English. Submissions addressing the following topics are particularly encouraged:

- Contact-induced characteristics of World Englishes
- Borrowing and codeswitching in World Englishes
- The expression of local identities through English
- The shining through of cultural conceptualizations in English varieties
- The use of English in multilingual contexts
- The genesis of varieties of English due to contact and bi/multilingualism 

(Convener: Alexander Onysko)

The Sociolinguistics of Multilingual (e-)Writing:

This strand invites papers and data workshops examining the form and significance of anglophony  within other -language written texts/writing practices, employing frameworks of analysis which transcend more traditional linguistic code-switching accounts. In particular, but not exclusively, sociolinguistically and social semiotically oriented research is welcome which orients to '(trans-)languaging', 'metrolingual', 'transidiomatic' and related conceptualisations of such writing and/or addresses the inherent multimodal context of such current multilingual literacy practice. (Convener: Allan James)
