Call Deadline: 15-Jun-2016 

Meeting Description:

For more than 20 years, scholars in various fields of research – political
sciences, history, sociology and linguistics – have devoted ample analyses to
political communication: political scientists have been mainly concerned with
the structure, changes and evolution of the Parliament as an institution or
with drawing parallels between different parliamentary systems. Linguistic,
discursive and/ or rhetorical features of parliamentary discourse have also
been investigated: parliamentary deliberative argumentation, parliamentary
question-response patterns or gender aspects in parliamentary debating styles.

The workshop puts forward a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach to
the study of political discourse as produced by a community of practice (Laver
and Wenger 1991), pursuing multiple linguistic perspectives.(Goffman 1981, van
Dijk 2000, 2010, Fairclough 2000, 2005, Fairclough and Fairclough 2012, Ilie
2003, 2010, Chilton 2004).
