Meeting Description:

Due to recent legislation changes in countries around the world, more people
than ever before can now get married. Hosted in collaboration with the
Discourses of Marriage Research
Group(http://discoursesofmarriage.blogspot.co.uk/), this two-day seminar aims
to encourage scholarly interest in how marriage is conceptualised, normalised,
defined, rejected, adapted, and debated through language. 


Final Call for Papers:

There are just a few days left to submit your abstracts to
discoursesofmarriage at gmail.com and don't forget we have two student fee
waivers

We invite submissions for 20-minute papers to discuss any aspects of
discourses of marriage in relation to language, but particularly encourage
submissions in the following areas: 

- Historical and/or global perspectives on discourses of marriage 
- Marriage and religious institutions 
- The language of marriage and equal marriage debates across cultures 
- Marriage and identity 
- Discourses of (non-heteronormative) family structure and divorce

Abstracts should be up to 300 words long and should contain up to five
keywords. Abstracts are to be submitted as Word documents to
discoursesofmarriage at gmail.com by the 30th June 2017. Submissions will be
anonymised before review. Authors will be notified of the organisers’
decisions by mid-July 2017. We encourage applications from scholars at all
career stages and there will be two fee-waived places for student presenters. 

The two-day seminar will be an opportunity to establish the state-of-the-art
for linguistic research on marriage, marriage equality, divorce, etc. by
bringing together researchers interested in this field. It is designed to
spark discussion about discourses of marriage by acting as a networking event
and we already have publishers interested in an edited collection of papers.
