ICLC5 à Leuven (Belgique): dernier appel à communications / 2e circulaire

[plauwersleuven]

Chers collègues,
voici la deuxième circulaire du 5e Colloque de Linguistique 
contrastive (Leuven,juillet 2008).
Veuillez noter que la date-limite de soumission est repoussée au *31 
décembre 2007*.
Bien à vous,
Peter Lauwers

The Fifth International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC5) 
will be held July 7 – 9 2008 at the University of Leuven (Belgium).

The aim of ICLC 5 is to encourage the comparison between two (or 
more) languages from a theoretical linguistic perspective. Although 
contrastive linguistics has  long been associated primarily with 
applied linguistics (in particular foreign language teaching), it is 
defined here as a subdiscipline of linguistics with major theoretical 
implications, which may contribute to our understanding of linguistic 
structures and functions.

We invite papers or posters with a comparative approach to topics 
related to one of the following domains: discourse analysis and 
pragmatics, syntax and semantics, lexicon and morphology, phonetics 
and phonology. Empirically founded studies with theoretical 
implications will be especially welcomed.

We are pleased to announce the following keynote speakers: 

Kasia Jaszczolt (Cambridge University) 
Meaning merger: An object of study for contrastive semantics and 
pragmatics?

Ekkehard König (Freie Universität Berlin) 
Reviving Contrastive Linguistics: A Programmatic Sketch

Peter Koch (Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen) 
Lexical typology and contrastive linguistics

Antoinette Renouf (University of Birmingham) 
A comparison of idiom construction in English and French mainstream 
journalism

Anne Zribi-Hertz (Université de Paris 8) 
Plural as a non category: some teachings from language comparison

Paper presentations will be 20 minutes, with 10 minutes for 
discussion. To facilitate communication among participants, papers 
should preferably be presented in English. However, if necessary, 
presentations in Dutch, French, Spanish, German or Italian are also 
acceptable.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Participants can only present one paper. Exceptionally, two papers 
may be presented by the same participant, provided that both are co-
authored. There is a maximum  of three named authors/participants per 
paper.
Acceptance is based on anonymous review of submitted abstracts. The 
abstract should specify the subject addressed as well as the main 
conclusions. It should also outline the empirical data on which the 
analysis is based, and cite the main references to previous work on 
the subject. 
Abstracts should comply with the formatting of the MS Word template 
available here and sent by e-mail to ICLC5 at arts.kuleuven.be before
