The 9th Biennial International Conference on the Linguistics of Contemporary English (BICLCE) will take place between 15 and 17 September 2022 at the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia). An in-person conference is currently envisaged, with the possibility of moving the event online in case travel proves difficult.

Over the last two decades, the BICLCE conference has become a platform for various theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of English and its varieties. As such, it has also become a point of reference for interdisciplinary cross-pollination. With a focus on the holistic presentation of current linguistic research, the BICLCE conference traditionally accommodates papers, presentations and workshops on the syntax, morphology, phonology, sociolinguistics, semantics and pragmatics of contemporary English.

In keeping with this tradition, we invite abstracts addressing every aspect of contemporary English, and especially encourage proposals that engage with variation in English, second language acquisition and development, learner corpora, discourse analysis and metadiscourse, constructions, metaphor, politeness, formulaic language, academic writing, language contact, corpus-based studies and statistical models.

We are delighted to announce the following plenary speakers:
- Paul Baker
- Susan Conrad
- Gaëtanelle Gilquin
- Manfred Krug
- Valentin Werner

At this stage, abstract submissions for individual papers and poster presentations are invited. Please submit your proposals via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=biclce2022 by 16 January 2022. Please specify the type of submission and make sure that the abstracts do not exceed 300 words and contain no names of the authors. All enquiries about the conference should be sent to 9biclce guest.arnes.si.

Abstract submissions can also still be made for inclusion in two thematic workshops:
- World Englishes and social media
- Exploring English by Means of Contrast: English and South Slavic Languages
