<DIV><FONT face="Arial CE" size=2>Dear Colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial CE" size=2>I have been added to the List just recently,
so let me say a few words of introduction.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial CE" size=2>I'm working at the University of Warsaw,
Institute of Applied Linguistics (have PHD in linguistics; holding a
professorial position). My second affiliation is School of Social Psychology,
Warsaw too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial CE" size=2>My research agenda covers text
linguistics, discourse analysis and cross-cultural communication -
including more specific topics such as academic communication or
CDA.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial CE" size=2>At the moment I am coordinating a project
under a working title: US and THEM (in-group and out-group meanings in language
and communication: a cross-cultural perspective). We will have a panel on that
in Budapest at the Conference next July. We are also planning
the publication of a volume. I am still soliciting paper proposals (for the
volume) relating to the US and THEM issue. Contributions addressing
theoretical aspects of the distinction, as well as grammatical and textual, are
most welcome. There is - clearly - room there for critical-discourse
analyses. Anybody who would be interested, please contact me for more
information.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial CE" size=2>with very best greetings from
Warsaw</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial CE" size=2>sincerely</FONT></DIV>
