Call for Papers:

Discourses of the Ukrainian Conflict: Linguistic Creativity in the Time of
Crisis 

We invite submission of abstracts for a panel entitled “Discourses of the
Ukrainian Conflict: Linguistic Creativity in the Time of Crisis”, to be
proposed as a part of The Seventh International Conference on Critical
Approaches to Discourse Analysis across Disciplines (CADAAD 2018), which will
take place July 4-6 2018 and will be hosted by Aalborg University, Denmark.

This panel welcomes contributions that highlight discursive practices prompted
by the situation of crisis and investigate the trends in language aggression,
framing, evaluation, persuasion, and other elements of conflict communication
from a discourse-analytical perspective. Since the turbulent political,
social, and military situation in Ukraine has triggered an extraordinary
upsurge in linguistic creativity, we are especially interested in research
that focuses on such innovation, its causes, sources, and functions in various
spheres of communication. We hope the discussion will advance the
understanding of the relationship between language, discourse, and society
through highlighting the complex interrelation of linguistic and
extra-linguistic phenomena in the time of crisis and through attention to the
active and deliberate communicative activity of the discourse participants. 

We invite papers based on authentic discourse data in the public sphere,
especially in informal media, such as social networks, as well as in
traditional media; corpus-assisted discourse studies are particularly welcome.

The papers may focus on a variety of topics, and may cover (among others) such
areas as:

- Conflict and aggression
- Power, oppression, or legitimation
- Identity construction and management
- Humor in the time of crisis
- Media and technology and their role in shaping discourses of crisis
- Narratives of political parties, institutions, or social movements 
- Military action narratives
- Gender in crisis discourse
- Migration, integration, and discrimination
- History and memory 
- Contested categorization, contested framing
- Nation, nationalism, and populism
- Health and mental health
- Business and economics

A range of approaches and different theoretical and analytical perspectives
are welcome, including but not limited to:

- Conversation and Discourse Analysis 
- Corpus Linguistics 
- Cognitive Linguistics
- Discursive Psychology 
- Ethnography of Communication
- Forensic Linguistics 
- Functional Linguistics 
- Multimodality
- Pragmatics and Argumentation Theory 
- Sociolinguistics

Please sent abstracts of 300-350 words (excluding references) as MS Word (.doc
or .docx) attachment to linguisticukraine at gmail.com. Please include in your
abstract: 3-5 keywords, type of data, methodology, expected outcome and
possible contribution to the field, and a short bibliography. Make sure to
remove identifying information from the text of the abstract, but please
include (1) your name, (2) affiliation, and (3) email address in the body of
the email. 

Submissions are due by October 12  at the latest. Notification of acceptance
of the panel will be sent on January 15. All abstracts will also be subject to
the general CADAAD review process and will need to be submitted to the system
by November 15. Notification of acceptance for the general session will be
communicated on February 15, 2018. Please contact Natalia Knoblock at
nlknoblo at svsu.edu with any questions regarding submission. 

The papers presented at the panel will be submitted to an international
publisher as a part of an edited volume. More information available on the
