Meeting Description:

The aim of the 20th DiscourseNet conference is to focus on the multifarious
aspects of fuzzy boundaries in the field of discourse studies. The field of
discourse studies itself is marked by complex boundary work and a certain
degree of fuzziness regarding the use of linguistic categories. Moreover,
fuzziness and boundary work are also inherent dimensions of cognition and
subjectivity, it can therefore be considered a fundamental feature of the
discursive construction of reality. This conference explores the different
ways in which fuzziness operates in empirically observable discourse.

Reflecting fuzzy boundaries and the diversity of disciplines in Discourse
Studies,
Christopher Hart (Lancaster University, UK) and
Heike Pichler (Newcastle University, UK)
have confirmed their participation as plenary speakers 


Call for Papers:

The deadline has been extended, abstracts of no more than 200 words should be
submitted in English by 1 October to furko.peter at gmail.com. The presentations
(15 minutes) are normally also in English but other languages are negotiable
after the individual panels have taken shape. Notifications of acceptance are
expected to be communicated by late October 2017. If accepted, applicants will
have to register at discourseanalysis.net to confirm their participation. An
early-bird fee of EUR 80 will apply until 15 December 2017 for fully funded
researchers and a reduced fee of EUR 50 for enrolled students without access
to institutional funding (after 15 December a regular fee of EUR 100 and a
reduced fee of EUR 60 will apply). There is a limited number of places.
Registration will be closed when full.

After the conference, a book proposal for a thematic volume (or possibly two)
based on selected conference papers will be submitted to Palgrave Macmillan
for the “Postdisciplinary Studies in Discourse” series.
