<p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>The aim of this interdisciplinary workshop
is to explore the potential for collaboration between researchers in Critical
Discourse Analysis (CDA), Corpus Linguistics (CL) and Conceptual History (CH),
the study of key socio-political concepts in their historical context (see <a
href="http://www.concepta-net.org/conceptual_history">http://www.concepta-net.org/conceptual_history</a>).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Recent studies by mainly Lancaster-based
researchers have suggested the methodological synergy that can result from
combining CDA and corpus-linguistic approaches. Meanwhile, the
discourse-historical approach in CDA developed by Ruth Wodak (Lancaster)
overlaps with CH in its study of the discursive construction of collective identities
that can themselves be seen <i>as</i> concepts, each with their own history.
Finally, the development of increasingly sophisticated software programs, such
as Lancaster’s UCREL Semantic Analysis System, opens up exciting new
research possibilities for mining the ever-increasing number of historical
texts available in digital form. The workshop will provide a unique opportunity
for researchers in CH, CDA and CL to discover how they might benefit from
mutual collaboration. It should also be of interest to anyone in the Humanities
and Social Sciences who works with texts and/or deals with basic
socio-political concepts, including collective identities. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Guest speakers will include Jan Ifversen
(Head of Institute for History and Area Studies, Aarhus University), Hans-Erich
Boedeker (Max-Planck-Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Berlin), both from
the History of Political and Social Concepts Group, and Gerlinde Mautner
(Vienna University of Economics and Business), who pioneered the use of
corpus-linguistic techniques in CDA. The workshop will also include
demonstrations of various software programs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
