Dear All,

The local and international organizing committee of Metadiscourse Across
Genres-Cyprus 2017 have agreed to plan Pre-Conference publication by Peter
Lang.

Conference from almost every corner of the globe (the UK, USA, Vietnam, Iran,
Australia, Spain, Pakistan, Turkey and many more to follow). Join us in Cyprus
with your Metadiscourse‬ and related research..

If you intend to be included in our Pre-Conference Publication plan by Peter
Lang, send your proposal(s) to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mag2017
by 20 August 2016.

For the ones who do not have their papers ready to go by 31 July 2016, please
also note that we will have ''Post-Conference Publication'' from the selected
papers presented during the conference..

To be eligible for Pre-Conference Publication:

- Send the full paper by 20 August 2016 after notification of acceptance and
register for MAG 2017 Conference..

- We will send your whole paper for external peer review (Taking approximately
