The 2026 edition marks the 20th anniversary of CADAAD. Under the theme <b>Beyond Physical and Symbolic Spaces: Methods and Challenges in Critical Discourse Studies,
</b>we invite scholars to reflect on the evolution of the field and the ways in which different methodological schools address the quantitative and qualitative bridge. In times of escalating physical and symbolic conflicts, the increasing influence of social
media, the rise of fake news and polarizing attitudes, it is also necessary to reflect on how Critical Discourse Scholars can address those challenges.</div>

The conference theme approaches these challenges broadly, also encompassing issues such as the construction of identity (us/them), space (in/out), time (past/present), politics (in its multiple forms) or society. It also seeks to move beyond traditional academic
spaces by fostering interdisciplinary dialogue between scholars and practitioners, and by acknowledging the role of multilingualism.</div>
