Second International Conference on the English Language in the Late
Modern Period 1700–1900 (LMEC2)
University of Vigo, 25-27 November 2004
Call for papers
The University of Vigo, through its Department of English, is organizing
the Second International Conference on the English Language in the Late
Modern Period 1700-1900 (LMEC2), which will take place in Vigo,
25th-27th November 2004. It is our aim to follow the path already
unfolded by our colleagues at the University of Edinburgh in 2001 by
presenting and evaluating ongoing research in the syntax, lexis,
phonology, sociolinguistics, etc. of the period in question.
Since the topic is still very much alive in the minds of everyone
devoted to historical linguistics, we consider it a good idea to summon
the LModE fellowship again in Vigo with several aims to pay heed to: a)
what is the status of the projects we all presented at the Edinburgh
Conference?, b) how many areas of the period are still unexplored?, c)
what projects could be presented to tread on those relatively new
linguistic territories?, etc.
As this constitutes an almost never-ending list of research topics,
we set out this Call for Papers by means of which we invite you to
submit your proposals – papers and/or workshops – to participate in the
Conference. The papers will last twenty minutes with a discussion of
around ten minutes, whereas the workshops will cover either 60 or 90
minutes. Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words and take up one
page only (including references), and may be submitted in hard copy or
electronically to the e-mail address below, by 30th April 2004. It is
the intention of the Conference organisers to promote the publication of
an edited and peer-reviewed volume to include some of the material
presented at the Conference.
The following guest speakers have already confirmed their attendance:
Prof. Laurel Brinton (British Columbia), Prof. Teresa Fanego (Santiago
de Compostela), Prof. Charles Jones (Edinburgh), Prof. Bernd Kortmann
(Freiburg) and Prof. Merja Kytö (Uppsala).
If you are interested in attending the Conference do not hesitate to
contact the organisers at the earliest.
Abstracts, queries and comments should be sent to:
