Meeting Description:
The aim of the International Contrastive Linguistics Conference 2010 is to
encourage the fine-grained comparative analyses between two (or more) languages
from different theoretical perspectives and with different goals. Although
contrastive linguistics has long been associated primarily with applied
linguistics (in particular foreign language teaching), it is here seen as a
subdiscipline of comparative linguistics with major theoretical implications,
which may contribute to our understanding of cross-linguistic and
language-internal variation.
Call for Papers
The thematic focus of the 2010 edition of the International Contrastive
Linguistics Conference will be on the relationship between contrastive
linguistics and other approaches to language comparison. What are the specific
benefits of the contrastive approach? How can methodologies and theoretical
insights of other approaches to language comparison contribute to the further
development of contrastive linguistics?
We welcome contributions dealing with all research areas of contrastive
linguistics. We especially encourage contributions to the thematic sessions.
Thematic sessions:
- Contrastive linguistics and typology
- Contrastive linguistics and historical comparative linguistics
- Contrastive linguistics and intercultural communication
- Contrastive linguistics and micro variation
- Contrastive intonation
- Clausal arguments in comparative perspective
- Exploring parallel corpora in language comparison
- Contrastive Linguistics, Corpus Analysis and Annotation
Abstract Guidelines:
Participants can only present one paper. However, a maximum of two papers may be
presented provided both are co-authored.
To facilitate communication among participants, papers should preferably be
presented in English. Presentations in German, Spanish and French, however, are
also acceptable.
Papers and posters will be selected through an anonymous peer-review procedure
by the scientific committee. Please indicate your preference for oral or poster
presentation. Abstracts should not exceed 500 words, including references. They
should be submitted electronically at the conference website from March 1 to
April 15, 2010. Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2010.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
