<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana">In the context of the 11<sup>th</sup>
International Conference on Greek Linguistics in September 2013 (University of
the Aegean, Rhodes, Greece) a workshop was held under the title “(Critical)
Discourse Analysis and Corpus Linguistics: A Methodological Synergy for the
Study of Modern Greek.” A British publisher has expressed an interest in
publishing an edited volume on this theme. We invite you to submit a chapter
abstract for inclusion in a book proposal to be submitted to the publishing
house.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana">The aim of this edited volume is
to reflect the growing interest in integrating the critical discourse analysis
and corpus linguistics methodologies/models and to highlight the analytical
benefits which can be derived from this symbiotic approach for the study of the
Modern Greek language, society and culture. This project purports to compile a
body of scholarly work in an area with so far only sporadic publications for
the specific language. Potential contributors are encouraged to propose
original analyses which consciously and systematically employ both the CDA and
CL approaches in a balanced, complementary and mutually informing and enhancing
manner. Ideally, projects should do justice to, and creatively combine the
critical and in-depth study of both computationally extracted corpus-driven
data (e.g. frequency, keyword, or collocations lists, concordances etc.) and
whole texts or substantial excerpts thereof (e.g. extended concordance lines)
(plus, possibly, other forms of discourse or contextual/extra-textual
information such as images, graphics etc.).</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Verdana">In terms of subject matter, the
book focuses on instances of socio-political crisis in contemporary Greece,
i.e. throughout the <i>metapolitefsi</i>
period (from the 1974 democratic transition to the present day). Topics may
include the activity of Greek social-revolutionary terrorist groups, the 2008
riots prompted by the murder of Alexandros Grigoropoulos, the current Greek
debt crisis and its socio-economic impact, the recent rise of the far-right
Golden Dawn party and the crisis following the murder of Pavlos Fyssas, etc.
Relevant discourses may be culled from official/establishment and
anti-establishment sources, neo-Nazism or anti-Nazism supporters, the (New)
Media, graffiti and so on.</span></p>
