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.</span></font></div></div><div style=""><div style=""><div class="gmail-adm" style="margin:5px 0px"><div id="gmail-q_98" class="gmail-ajR gmail-h4" style="background-color:rgb(232,234,237);border:none;clear:both;line-height:6px;outline:none;width:24px;font-size:11px;border-radius:5.5px"><div class="gmail-ajT" style="background:url("https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/1x/more_horiz_black_20dp.png") 50% 50%/20px no-repeat;height:11px;opacity:0.7;width:24px"></div></div></div><div class="gmail-im" style=""><font color="#000000"><br>Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to:<br></font><ul style="font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:12pt"><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">discourse organisation</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">language ideology</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">language policy</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">analyses of socially important issues</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">discourse/s and identity</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">discourse/s in translation studies</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">stylistic analyses of discourse</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">discourse/s in literary texts</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">discourse/s in language learning</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">discourse/s in language teaching</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">discourse/s in languages for specialised purposes</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">organisational discourse/s</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">investigations of non-literal language in discourse (e.g. metaphor, metonymy, irony)</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">comparative studies of different discourse/s and discourse types</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">comparative studies of discourse/s over different periods of time</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">investigations of cultural and cross-cultural topics</font></li></ul><font color="#000000">We also welcome papers which include reflective considerations on theoretico-methodological issues.
