Call for Papers:
We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the 12th
International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC-12), to be held
at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of
Zagreb, Croatia, on 21–23 October 2027.
Since its inception in 1998, the ICLC conference series has provided
an international forum for research comparing two or more languages
from a wide range of theoretical and methodological perspectives.
ICLC-12 welcomes contributions that advance contrastive and
cross-linguistic research and encourage dialogue across linguistic
subfields.
We welcome submissions exploring topics including but not restricted
to:
 - Comparison of two or more languages on any linguistic level and in
relation to any linguistic discipline
 - Theoretical approaches in relation to contrastive linguistic
research
 - Methodologies used in contrastive linguistic research
 - Use of corpora in contrastive studies
 - Contrastive linguistic research and other disciplines (linguistic
or not)
 - Multiculturality, multimodality and multilingualism
 - Language-specific and cross-linguistic contrastive studies
 - Contrastive studies and foreign language teaching and learning
 - Contrastive studies and translation studies
 - Contrastive studies and machine translation
 - Croatian language in contrastive linguistic research
The conference language is English, and the conference will be held
onsite.
Submission Instructions:
We invite submissions that report empirical research, articulate clear
research questions or hypotheses, describe the research design and
methodology, provide theoretical contributions, and present
preliminary or anticipated findings.
There are three submission categories: talks (20 minutes + 10 minutes
for discussion), posters and panel discussions (50 minutes + 10
minutes for discussion). The authors should specify their preference
for talks or posters in the submission, but the program committee may
suggest a different category. Topics and participants (3-5) for panel
discussions are proposed by the author of the submission, who will
also chair the discussion. Presentations will be in English.
How to Submit:
Abstracts should be submitted through EasyAbs maintained by the
LINGUIST List: https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/ICLC-12/
All abstracts (talk, poster, panel discussion) should adhere to the
following guidelines:
- Should be 400–500 words in length, excluding an additional page with
a list of references, examples, tables, or figures.
- Should include 5 semicolon-separated keywords below the title.
- Should be submitted as PDF files, in English, anonymized, and
without obvious self-references. Please remove your name from the
metadata of the submitted file.
- Each person may submit only one paper as the first author or
co-author. Aside from that, the same person can also join a panel
discussion.
All submissions will undergo a double-blind peer review process,
evaluated on originality, relevance, quality, and adherence to the
Submission Requirements.
Plenary Speakers:
Ranko Matasović (University of Zagreb)
Barbara Kerovec (University of Zagreb)
Gaëtanelle Gilquin (UC Louvain)
Hilde Hasselgård (University of Oslo)
