Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce that the 7th Biennial International Conference on
the Linguistics of Contemporary English (BICLCE) will be held on 28-30
September 2017 at the University of Vigo (Spain). We invite papers on every
aspect of the linguistics of contemporary English.

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 BICLCE
(formerly ICLCE) conference is to encourage the cross-fertilization of ideas
between different frameworks and research traditions addressing the
linguistics of contemporary English. Previous conferences were held in
Edinburgh (2005), Toulouse (2007), London (2009), Osnabrück (2011), Austin TX
(2013) and Madison WI (2015), along the same lines. We aim for the conference
in Vigo to build on the success of those events.

BICLCE2017 aims to provide a platform for work which deals with contemporary
varieties of English, in terms of their phonology, morphology, syntax,
semantics, pragmatics, etc., in any way which aims to be explanatory.
Traditionally in this conference, syntax (specifically constructions),
sociolinguistics, processing and discourse analysis are four of the focus
areas. We invite proposals on these and other areas, such as variationist work
which engages with issues of linguistic structure. We do not envisage work
which is purely historical, but work which brings in diachrony in order to
explain the structure of present-day English is certainly welcome.
