Meeting Description:

Discourse Relational Devices
3rd International Conference on Linguistic & Psycholinguistic Approaches to Text Structuring (LPTS 2016)
24-26 January 2016, Universitat de València (Spain)

The aim of the conference is to analyze how discourse relational devices (DRDs) work in oral and written texts. The term 'discourse relational devices' (DRDs) includes, but is not limited to, discourse markers, and it refers to expressions such as because, but, however, I mean, well, first, second, to take an example or in this line, that help a speaker structure and organise discourse. In spite of their universal character and the crucial role they fulfil in the communicative function of language, their semantic and pragmatic nature is difficult to grasp, as may be witnessed by the hundreds of academic studies on DRDs published in the last twenty years on many different languages. An additional is psycholinguistic in nature, and often takes an experimental approach. This program studies human cognition by investigating the mechanisms underlying discourse coherence, including the (first language) acquisition and (on-line) processing of DRDs and the coherence relations they signal.

Keynote Speakers:

Liesbeth Degand (Université catholique de Louvain) ''Discourse Relational Devices in TextLink: From (categorial) description to corpus annotation, and back again''
Kerstin Fischer (University of Southern Denmark) ''Discourse markers: definitions and boundaries''
Völker Gast ((University of Jena) '''Doing corpus-based typology: Concessivity in a cross-linguistic perspective'''
Óscar Loureda (University of Heidelberg) ''Discourse markers and Experimental Linguistics''

Registration:

Early-bird fee: 90 EUR
Full conference fee: 130 EUR

- Cross-linguistic variation and typological studies
- Translation studies on DRDs
- DRDs annotation and tools 
- Psycholinguistic approaches to DRDs
- Experimental research on DRDs
- Acquisition of DRDs

Proposal Types:

- Full paper (20 minutes)
- Research in progress (10 minutes), intended to present research still at a preliminary stage and on which researchers would like to get feedback.*  
- Poster

*Young researchers are specially invited to submit a proposal. Research in progress will be discussed in a special session.
