Selected contributions will be invited for

The four thematic strands of the conference
are:
Corpus Linguistics and Language Assessment:
This strand invites papers using corpus
linguistic methodology to describe learner
language and, ideally, using such description
as a basis for studying the validity of
language tests or assessment systems. Papers
dealing with error classification approaches
are particularly welcome as are papers focusing
on feedback as well as on validation theory per
se. (Conveners: Günther Sigott & Nikola
Dobrić)
Discursive Practices across Professional
Fields:
This strand invites papers and data workshops
on helping professional discourse such as
therapeutic, counseling, coaching and medical
discourse as well as other types of
professional conversations. The aim is to
deepen our understanding of the particularities
within and across the respective professional
practices and to shed light on the practical
contribution that applied linguistic research
makes to these professional practices.
(Convener: Eva-Maria Graf)
Language Contact and Multilingualism in World
Englishes:
This strand invites papers on aspects of World
Englishes that take into account language
contact and the bi/multilingual settings of
varieties of English. Submissions addressing
the following topics are particularly
encouraged:
- Contact-induced characteristics of World
Englishes
- Borrowing and codeswitching in World
Englishes
- The expression of local identities through
English
- The shining through of cultural
conceptualizations in English varieties
- The use of English in multilingual
contexts
- The genesis of varieties of English due to
contact and bi/multilingualism
(Convener: Alexander Onysko)
The Sociolinguistics of Multilingual
(e-)Writing:
This strand invites papers and data workshops
examining the form and significance of
anglophony within other -language written
texts/writing practices, employing frameworks
of analysis which transcend more traditional
linguistic code-switching accounts. In
particular, but not exclusively,
sociolinguistically and social semiotically
oriented research is welcome which orients to
'(trans-)languaging', 'metrolingual',
'transidiomatic' and related conceptualisations
of such writing and/or addresses the inherent
multimodal context of such current multilingual
literacy practice. (Convener: Allan James)
