Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce that the 5th edition of the international Biennial
Conference on the Diachrony of English (CBDA-5) will take place in Tours,
France, from July 4 to July 6 2017, hosted by the Université François-Rabelais
and organised in collaboration with the Université de Picardie Jules-Verne
(Amiens) and the Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne (Reims).

The main objective of the conference is to provide linguists working on the
history of English with an opportunity to present their work and a forum
within which to discuss current issues in English diachronic linguistics. 

Further information will shortly be made available on the meeting website:

http://www.cbdaconference.org/

Plenary Speaker:

Our invited speaker at this year’s conference will be Marion Elenbaas, of the
University of Leiden.

Conference Fee:

The conference fee is 40 euros (20 euros for students), and includes
participation in all sessions of the conference, the conference package, and
light refreshments. All participants, however, are expected to pay their own
travel and accommodation expenses.

We look forward to having the opportunity to welcome you to the beautiful
medieval and Renaissance city of Tours.

Please note that this edition of the Conference will be dedicated to the
memory of Professor Xavier Dekeyser, of the University of Leuven, who had
actively supported CBDA since its inception in 2008. Xavier passed away on May
23rd, 2016, and this is a very painful loss for all the organizers.

2nd Call for Papers: 

Session Papers:

Contributors are invited to to submit session papers on all topics concerned
with change and variation in the history of English (syntax, semantics,
phonetics, phonology, morphology, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, language
contact, lexicology, etc.), and on all periods in the history of English, and
even on other languages directly relevant to the diachrony of English. Full
papers will be allowed 30 minutes, including 10 minutes for discussion. If you
would like to present a paper, please send an abstract (approximately 300 -
400 words), in DOC or PDF format, to both Fabienne Toupin
(fabienne.toupin at univ-tours.fr) and Brian Lowrey (brian.lowrey at u-picardie.fr).
Abstracts should reach us no later than February 28th, 2017. Submissions will
be reviewed anonymously by two referees, and we would ask you to leave your
abstract anonymous, but to cite your name and affiliation as well as the title
of your paper in the e-mail.

Workshops:

We also welcome workshop proposals. If you wish to organise a workshop on a
specific theme, please send details of your proposal (topic, provisional list
of speakers, etc.) to both Fabienne Toupin (fabienne.toupin at univ-tours.fr) and
Brian Lowrey (brian.lowrey at u-picardie.fr) by January 31st, 2017 at the latest.
Workshops, ideally, should contain at least 4 or 5 slots, and need to be
compatible with the main conference schedule. The general format (30 minute
presentations, allowing 10 minutes for discussion) should therefore be
adopted.

We look forward to seeing you in Tours in 2017!
