Meeting Description:

Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) explores the role that discourse structures
and practices play in the (ab)use and reproduction of power in society and
politics. It seeks to develop models and methods to better capture the
interrelationship between linguistic choices/structures, ideologies, and
socio-political power, both from a synchronic and a diachronic perspective.
Since most of human knowledge is acquired through engaging in discourses, the
studies of discourse and knowledge are necessarily intertwined. Thus,
discourse analysis also features a cultural-cognitive component when examining
underlying (and changing) mental representations and cultural models, both
within social groups as well as individual discourse participants.

Topics of this conference session include (but are not limited to):

- Critical Cultural Linguistics
- Cultural Linguistics and political discourse analysis
- Cultural identities in public discourse
- The role of conceptual metaphor in the representation of social groups and
political events
- Cultural Linguistics, computer-mediated communication (CMC) and social media
- Cultural conceptualisations and pragmatics
- Cultural conceptualisation and verbal/non-verbal humour
- Diachronic Cultural Linguistics
- Cultural Linguistics and corpus linguistics

This conference will provide great resources on the topic as well as unlimited
opportunities to network with prominent leaders in the field. We look forward
to seeing you in July 2018.
