7th Biennial International Conference on the Linguistics of Contemporary English (BICLCE 2017)

The 7th Biennial Conference on the Linguistics of Contemporary English will take place in Vigo on 28 and 30 September 2017. The conference is organised by the LVTC (Language Variation and Textual Categorisation) research group at the University of Vigo.

The aim of the BICLCE (formerly ICLCE) conference is to encourage the cross-fertilisation of ideas between different frameworks and research traditions, all of which may address any aspect of the linguistics of contemporary English. Traditionally, syntax (specifically constructions), sociolinguistics and discourse analysis are three of the focus areas of the conference.
