Meeting Description:

I-mean 2, Context and Meaning Conference, UWE, Bristol 13-15 April 2011
 
The conference addresses the relationship between context and meaning, 
how context may be defined, how meaning is interpreted in context, how 
speakers create and negotiate context in interaction, and how context is 
dealt with in different research traditions. We seek to explore ways in which 
researchers can fruitfully work across methodological and disciplinary 
boundaries. Particularly in the (broadly defined) field of discourse analysis, 
there are widely recognized approaches which are often associated with 
specific methodological tools.
 
The conference aims to explore whether and to what extent bringing 
together different methodological and theoretical approaches can:
 
- enhance understanding of meaning in interaction
- capture the contextual information which speakers draw upon dynamically 
in interaction
- lead to theoretically robust methodological innovation
 
Papers are invited from researchers working across different linguistic fields 
and traditions, focusing on any aspect of meaning and interaction.
 
Main conference themes:

Context in spoken interaction: methodologies and methods 
Context and intercultural pragmatics 
Multimodal approaches to context 
Context and meaning in translation 
The teachability of sociopragmatics
 
Plenary speakers (confirmed):

Karin Aijmer, University of Gothenburg,
Paul Drew, University of York,
Susan Herring, Indiana University,
Sally McConnell-Ginet, Cornell University
Norma Mendoza-Denton, University of Arizona
 
Round table: Stances, methodologies and methods for the analysis of 
context in interaction.

I-mean 2 will include a round table as a central event where distinguished 
scholars representing well established paradigms in the analysis of 
interaction will discuss whether and to what extent bringing together 
different theoretical stances, methodologies and methods is a) possible b) 
beneficial to methodological innovation and c) can lead to a better 
understanding of context in interaction.
 
Invited colloquia:
I-mean 2 will host two invited colloquia. Details will be announced by the end 
of October 2010.
