The conference aims at bringing together various aspects of research
in semantics and pragmatics, based on, or otherwise pertaining to,
linguistic constructions from at least two different languages. Papers
are invited that contribute to research on semantic and pragmatic
theory, the interface between semantics and pragmatics, as well as
more empirically based presentations that report on the evidence from
collected data in a contrastive linguistic perspective. We also
welcome papers on the methodology and typology of contrastive studies
with special reference to semantics and pragmatics.
