Meeting Description:

The purpose of this transdisciplinary colloquium is to bring together PhD
students and Early Career Researchers from a wide range of disciplines within
the Humanities and Social Sciences with a common interest in the role of
language in shaping discourse(s), culture, and society.

The colloquium is funded by the Eastern Academic Research Consortium and
organized by doctoral students at the University of Kent. It is further
supported by the Centre of Critical Thought and the Centre for Language and
Linguistics of the University of Kent.

Plenary speaker: Professor Jonathan Culpeper (University of Lancaster)


2nd Call for Papers:

Through language, we create meanings, power relations, identities, and
interpersonal ties. Given its social function, it is unsurprising that many
researchers in the Humanities and Social Sciences examine aspects of culture
and society through a linguistic or discursive lens. This event aims at
creating bridges between different research strands of and approaches to
discourse in a wide sense. It will also function as a platform and networking
opportunity for academics who are at beginning of their careers (doctoral
students and ERCs). We therefore encourage submissions from a wide range of
discourse-theoretical approaches.

Relevant topics include but are not limited to:

Any theoretical or methodological approach to (Post-Structuralist) Discourse
Analysis or Critical Discourse Studies
Conversation Analysis
Interactional Sociolinguistics
(Interpersonal) pragmatics/discourse-pragmatics
Intercultural, cross-cultural and societal aspects of pragmatics
Discourse and identity, gender, ethnicity, class, etc.
Diachronic studies of any of the above aspects

Abstract submission:

Abstracts for oral presentations (20 minutes) will be submitted via EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pradiso2018). You will be asked to
enter your title, abstract (max. 300 word excluding bibliography), and
keywords into text fields as well as to upload a PDF file. The PDF file should
contain: the title and abstract of your paper and up to five keywords. Please
make sure no author information (i.e. name or affiliation) is contained in the
PDF file.
