Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis 

Call Deadline: 30-Mar-2012 

Meeting Description:

After its initial successes in Aalborg, Denmark, in November 2010, NORDISCO is emerging as a biennial event, whose goal is to create a Nordic and Baltic forum bringing together researchers and doctoral students who are investigating discourse and interaction from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives. It is now our pleasure at Linköping University, Sweden, to host NORDISCO 2012, in the hope that the second Nordic and Baltic interdisciplinary conference will give rise to creative synergies and facilitate new networks, crossing both geographical and disciplinary borders.
 
The focus of the conference is on the organisation, structure and constitution of text, discourse, talk and social interaction. We therefore welcome researchers' contributions from different and diverse fields of enquiry, including - but not limited to - discourse studies, conversation analysis, discursive psychology, critical discourse analysis, interaction analysis, rhetoric, narrative analysis, discourse theory, political discourse analysis, social semiotics, multimodal discourse analysis, applied linguistics, gesture studies and communication activism, as well as approaches to discourse and interaction to be found in sociology, political science, environmental science, economics, media studies and cultural studies.
 
The conference will consist of parallel paper sessions and four plenary presentations by leading researchers representing different domains of study. We are happy to be able to confirm plenaries by Anssi Peräkylä (Helsinki), Elizabeth Lanza (Oslo), Inger Lassen (Aalborg), and Jan Anward (Linköping). As a special pre-conference event in the morning before the official conference, there will also be four workshops, organised by our plenary speakers. 

Final Call for Papers:

Deadline for abstract submissions: 30 March 2012

We invite submissions for paper presentations (20 minutes for presentation, to be followed by 5 minutes for questions) to be scheduled in parallel sessions. We will consider abstract proposals for concluded research projects as well as work-in-progress. If you wish to submit an abstract for consideration by the scientific committee, please use our open conference system (accessible via the conference website).

Presentations may be given in English or in a Nordic/Baltic language (if preferred). Please indicate your language preference when you submit your abstract. It is expected that presentations in specific languages will be clustered together when appropriate. The specific form (length, format, etc.) of the non-English slots will remain open until the organisers know how many non-English submissions they have received.

Abstracts will be reviewed for quality, relevance, topicality and originality by the 2nd NORDISCO scientific committee:

Angelika Linke (Linköping), Jan Anward (Linköping), Marianne Winther Jørgensen (Linköping), Mathias Broth (Linköping), Asta Cekaite (Linköping), Richard Hirsch (Linköping), Nigel Musk (Linköping), Charlotta Plejert (Linköping), Leelo Keevallik (Linköping), Jakob Cromdal (Linköping), Karin Osvaldsson (Linköping), Elizabeth Lanza (Oslo), Inger Lassen (Aalborg), Anssi Peräkylä (Helsinki) and Sari Pietikäinen (Jyväskylä).

Anyone who submits an abstract will be notified of its acceptance on 10 May 2012. We hope to see you all in Linköping!

simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
