The attention devoted to the linguistics of the English language has resulted in a broad body of work in diverse research traditions. The aim of the 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 English. The first and second ICLCE conferences were held in Edinburgh (2005) and Toulouse (2007) along the same lines. We aim for the London conference to build on the success of those events.

The main conference (14-17 July) will be preceded on 14 July by a one-day symposium to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Survey of English Usage. The theme of this symposium will be Current Change in the English Verb Phrase. Conference delegates are invited to attend the Symposium's closing Keynote address by David Crystal, followed by a drinks reception.

Registration for the main conference will open during the afternoon of 14 July. Early arrival is encouraged: please note that proceedings will begin at 9.00am on 15 July.
