/><hr><br /><b>Descripción</b><br /><p>The general aim of this
conference is to bring together researchers of discourse<br
/>analysis, textual data mining and information retrieval working in
different<br />theoretical and methodological frameworks.<br /><br
/>"Mapping Language Across Cultures: Textual Analysis in
Cross-Cultural and<br />Intercultural Communication" is an
interdisciplinary conference combining Discourse<br />Analysis
approaches, computational linguistics, sequential analysis and
contrastive<br />cross-cultural approaches.<br /><br />Main themes of
the Conference<br /><br />The recent development of analytical tools
and methodologies applied to textual<br />analysis stands as a turning
point in the fields of Applied Linguistics, Translation<br />and
Interpreting Studies and Information Sciences. There has been, in
recent years,<br />an exponential growth of technological and
empirically-oriented studies of language<br />with clear areas of
convergence with other fields. In their wake, the goal of this<br
/>Conference is to serve as a starting point for an integrating
approach that may open<br />intercultural studies of language to new
technologies and applications, while<br />complementing computational
linguistics and network theory with a multidimensional<br />approach
to the complexity of texts. The Conference aims to examine, among
others:<br />- The need to analyse and compare and identify
regularities in an ever-increasing<br />quantity of texts (corpora
analyses)<br />- The development of artificial intelligence tools
applied to information retrieval,<br />keyword generation, automatic
summary generation, semantic disambiguation,<br />computer-assisted
translation and automatised translation<br />- The development of a
discourse analysis methodology in order to search and<br />identify
regularities and meaningful patterns in texts, at all levels
(syntactic,<br />semantic, pragmatic and ideological levels)<br />-
The development of new theoretical frameworks where signifying systems
are seen as<br />constituting networks (network theory), as those
developed in fields where<br />sequential analyses are essential, such
as those developed in computational biology<br />and related
fields.<br /><br />Thematic strands / Áreas temáticas:<br />-
Semantic networking in texts: network theory applications.<br />-
Meaningful patterns in text. <br />- Automatic recognition of
meaningful patterns in text. <br />- Pragmalinguistic and
constructional models. <br />- Formal approaches to argumentation,
narrative and ideology in texts. <br />- Teaching and learning
intercultural competence through text. <br /><br />Contributions are
accepted for papers (20 min. long plus 10 min. for discussion) and<br
/>posters. Four poster sessions will be held for short presentations
(5-10 min.) and<br />discussion.<br /><br />Submissions should
describe original work, either theoretical or empirical in one or<br
/>more of the thematic strands proposed. Presentation of research
projects and work in<br />progress are especially welcome in poster
format. In any case, the abstract should<br />not exceed 500 words
including references. You will be informed about acceptance by<br
/>February 15, 2010 and full papers should be sent by midnight (local
time) of April<br />11, 2010. Proceedings will be published with the
papers and written version of<br />posters presented at the
conference. Apart from the proceedings, papers can also be<br
/>submitted for a selected monographic volume which will also include
invited<br />contributions.<br /><br />Please submit your abstract in
English indicating whether it is intended to be<br />presented as a
PAPER or as a POSTER and its corresponding THEMATIC STRAND/S. The<br
/>proposal should be sent as an attached file in Word or PDF to
mlac@usal.es no later<br />than 15 January 2010 (midnight local
time).<br /><br />Publication:<br />Proceedings will be published by
University of Salamanca Press. Papers should be<br />written in
English or Spanish, produced according to their corresponding style
sheet<br />(which will be available on the conference webpage soon)
and sent both in Word and<br />PDF format by 11 April (midnight local
time).<br />A monographic volume will be published in English
containing contributions selected<br />by the scientific committee
from those submitted by 31 July 2010 (midnight local<br />time), as
well as invited articles. The style sheet for these contributions, as
well<br />as the instructions to be followed, will be announced in due
time.<br /><br />Registration deadline: 2 July 2010<br />Early-bird
registration (about a 30% discount): 31 May 2010 (payment received
