Meeting Description:

The second edition of the conference “Argumentation & Language” will take
place from 7 to 9 of February 2018 at USI - Università della Svizzera italiana
in Lugano, Switzerland. 

Building on the success of the first ARGAGE conference, held at the University

intersections of argumentative and language practices.

Ton van Haaften (University of Leiden)
Christian Plantin (Université Lyon 2)
Manfred Stede (University of Potsdam)


Call for Papers:

Contributions must be related to at least one of the following five research
axes: 

1. Argumentation in spoken interaction   
2. Semantics and argumentation
3. Argumentative indicators
4. Corpora annotation and argumentation
5. Rhetorical devices

Priority will be given to proposals that make their methods and analytical
categories explicit and that privilege the description of empirical data
collected in corpora or empirically. 

Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of anonymized abstracts. 

Types of Contributions:  

Individual Presentation:

Individual presentations will last 20 minutes, followed by a 5 minute question
session. Contributors will need to tie their presentation with one or two of
the conference themes, as described above. The deadline for submission is 30
June 2017. Abstracts should not be more than 400 words. Abstracts must (i)
clearly state the research question, (ii) include a brief description of the
theoretical framework and of the methodology adopted by the author and (iii)
highlight the originality of the proposal. 

Panel:
 
Panels are 2 hour long thematic sessions. They are divided in three 30 minute
presentations and are followed by a 30 minute discussion time (to take place
at the end of the panel or in its course). The panel convenors are responsible
for the organisation of both the thematic coherence and the logistic
articulation of the panel in order to ensure that it fits the general
orientation of the conference. Panel proposals will contain a general
description and the abstracts of the three papers to be presented. Panel
proposals can be submitted until 30 April 2017. The general description of the
panel and the abstracts should not exceed the 400 word limit each. As for
individual presentations, these must (i) clearly state the research question,
