The main objective of the conference is to provide linguists working on the history of English, both here in France and overseas, with an opportunity to present their work and a forum within which to discuss current issues in English diachronic linguistics. Papers (30 minutes, followed by 10 minutes discussion) are therefore invited on all topics within this field, and also on other languages relevant to the study of English. Parallel to the conference itself, a series of workshops will also be organized, to allow colleagues who are not specialists to improve their knowledge of Old and Middle English. Call for Papers If you would like to present a paper, please send an abstract (20-30 lines approx.) as soon as possible, and at the latest by 31st March, 2011 to either Fabienne Toupin (fabienne.toupinuniv-tours.fr) or Brian Lowrey (brian.lowreyu-picardie.fr). Notification of acceptance will be sent during April 2011. We look forward to having the opportunity to welcome you to Tours, 'ville d'art et d'histoire' situated at the heart of the Loire valley !
