<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>ModE4 invites the submission of papers
and posters from all (sub)domains of modality and evidentiality in English,
including crosslinguistic studies. In addition to individual talks, we also
welcome proposals for theme sessions. The conference aims to provide a forum
for the exchange of ideas between researchers working in modality and
evidentiality in English, and to bring to the fore the most recent developments
in the field. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>THEME SESSIONS <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>There will be three theme sessions at
the Conference: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>(i) The Modality of Intersubjectivity.
This theme session focuses on the identification of the linguistic and
non-linguistic (multimodal) overt and covert strategies exploited by the
speaker/writer to convey their point, to involve the addressee(s) and, finally,
to lead them to share such point. </span>Papers for this theme session are
welcome. Convenor: Prof. Roberta Facchinetti, Università degli Studi di Verona.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>(ii) Modality in English and Spanish:
functional and corpus-based perspectives. This theme session will focus on a
number of functional and corpus-based aspects of the contrastive study of
modality in English and Spanish as a topic of theoretical and applied relevance
in a number of research contexts. Modality will be considered as the expression
of a number of semantic categories clustered around the notions of
speaker’s commitment and non-factuality. Special emphasis will be given
to the relationship between modality and evaluative language. Convenor: Prof.
Julia Lavid, Universidad Complutense de Madrid. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>(iii) Evidentiality and Modality:
Cross-linguistic perspectives. This theme session will focus on corpus-based
contrastive studies of evidential and modal markers, on the overlap of the
domains of evidentiality and modality, and the interplay of semantic meanings
with pragmatic and discourse factors. Papers for this theme session are
welcome. Convenors: Profs. Juana Marín and Marta Carretero, Universidad
Complutense de Madrid. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>The sessions will consist of two one
hour and a half slots (maximum 5 papers) focusing on a common topic within
modality and/or evidentiality. Each theme session should include a 30-minute
slot for final discussion on the topic. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Abstracts for theme sessions (i) and
(iii) should be sent by e-mail, as attachments, to ModE4 (mode4@filol.ucm.es) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>The new deadline for abstracts is 21
February 2010. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Notifications of acceptance will be sent
out by 31 March 2010. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
