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. The final program is now available on the conference website: http://www.ctw-congress.com/2010/ICLC6/. The plenary speakers are: - Ekkehard König (Freie Universität Berlin, University of California): Contrastive Linguistics and Other Approaches to Language Comparison - Johan Van der Auwera (Universiteit Antwerpen): Contrastive Linguistics and Typology - Wayne Harbert (Cornell University): Contrastive linguistics and Historical Comparative Linguistics - Helga Kotthoff (Universität Freiburg): Contrastive Linguistics and Intercultural Communication - Cecilia Poletto (Università Venetia): Contrastive Linguistics and Micro Variation Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 31-Aug-2010       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
