Meeting Description:

MAG 2019 - Metadiscourse in Digital Communication: What has changed?
An International Conference hosted by CERLIS University of Bergamo, Italy

The advent of digital and social media has deeply transformed academic and
non-academic communication practices in the past two decades. Along with the
linguistic practices in which people engage and the nature of the social
networks they construct, there is a strong and growing interest in how people
create meaning not just through language, but through a range of digital
resources. In fact, the communicative immediacy of digital media and the
spectrum of genres/hybridized forms now available has inevitably influenced
the way we communicate and the way we create meaning-making in a multimodal
environment. Underpinning this innovative work is current research work on
Metadiscourse and the development of new research methodologies, including
visual research methods and combinations of qualitative and quantitative
approaches with special focuses on Discourse Analysis, Corpus Linguistics, and
Genre Analysis. Given the growing interest in digital language research, this
international conference thus investigates the change that digital
communication has meant to communication environments - and what research
methods and approaches are needed to capture that change.

Conference venue:

The Conference will be hosted by CERLIS, the research centre on specialized
discourse operating at the University of Bergamo, an institution where
research has always been in the foreground and where various national and
international conferences have already been organized (see

Plenary lectures will be delivered by the following keynote speakers:

- Annelie Ädel (Dalarna University, Sweden)
- Maria Kuteeva (Stockholm University, Sweden)
- Anna Mauranen (University of Helsinki, Finland)
- Carmen Sancho Guinda (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain)

conference themes:
- Metadiscourse analysis of digital academic and non-academic interpersonal
interactions
