Dear all,

please find below a call for papers that can be of interest. I believe that
there is a lot of potential in relation to studies on gender, sexuality and
language research seen through a CADS perspective! Some of us have already
presented research on parenthood, violence against women, same-sex
marriages and constructions of transgender people in the media at a
previous CADS conference.

I look forward to seeing many of you in Brighton and if you have questions,
do not hesitate to ask!

*Corpora and Discourse International Conference 2020*

*17-19 June 2020University of Sussex, UK*

We are delighted to announce the Call for Papers for *Corpora & Discourse
International Conference 2020* <https://corporadiscourse.com/>. We invite
proposals which combine corpus linguistics and discourse analysis in all
forms and under all names. This might include work that self-describes as:
corpus-assisted discourse studies, corpus-based (critical) discourse
studies, corpus-based sociolinguistics, corpus-driven discourse studies,
corpus pragmatics, corpus stylistics, or corpus & discourse work that does
not go under any particular label. Our aim is to bring together all
researchers who are interested in how discourse/s are structured, patterned
or received and who use corpus linguistics in their work.

Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to:

   - discourse organisation
   - language ideology
   - language policy
   - analyses of socially important issues
   - discourse/s and identity
   - discourse/s in translation studies
   - stylistic analyses of discourse
   - discourse/s in literary texts
   - discourse/s in language learning
   - discourse/s in language teaching
   - discourse/s in languages for specialised purposes
   - organisational discourse/s
   - investigations of non-literal language in discourse (e.g. metaphor,
   metonymy, irony)
   - comparative studies of different discourse/s and discourse types
   - comparative studies of discourse/s over different periods of time
   - investigations of cultural and cross-cultural topics

We also welcome papers which include reflective considerations on
theoretico-methodological issues. These might include discussion of
questions such as:

   - How is the combination of corpus and discourse analysis developing?
   - What is the future of corpus and discourse analysis?
   - What counts as best practice and are there any practices best
   avoided?How can we increase our awareness and reflexivity as researchers in
   this field?
   - What forms can triangulation in corpus and discourse take?
   - What future directions should we be aware of / consider?
   - How might recent developments in (critical) discourse studies impact
   the combination?
   - What new software may be of particular relevance to the area?
   - What challenges do particular forms of corpus and discourse face?
   (e.g. analysis of social media, responsive analysis of fast-moving topics,
   analysis of historical discourse/s etc.)
   - What can a corpus and discourse do with big data that was not
   collected/designed for corpus work?

Proposals for workshops show-casing and providing hands-on experience with
new software or methods are also encouraged.

*We invite contributors to submit abstracts (up to 300 words) by 25 January
2020 to corporadiscourse at gmail.com <corporadiscourse at gmail.com>*

All proposals will be peer-reviewed by the conference scientific committee.
