Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis; Psycholinguistics; Sociolinguistics

Meeting Description:

After a first edition in Paris in September 2009, the second edition of
Linguistic & Psycholinguistic Approaches to Text Structuring (LPTS2011)
will be organized next fall at the University of Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve,
Belgium).

The aim of the conference is to consider text and discourse structure from
the perspective of language variation, with a special focus on the distinction
between language modes (spoken vs. written) (Biber 1988) and the degree
of formality involved (Chafe & Danielewicz 1987). The medium we use to
communicate (oral, written or even gestural) plays an important role in the
choice we make, consciously or not, when structuring our discourse.
However, a more nuanced view, which overrules the traditional dichotomy
between speech and writing, consists in situating discourse on a stylistic
continuum between a formal and an informal pole ('communicative distance
and proximity') (Koch & Österreicher 2001).
