Meeting Description:

This session is part of the 48th Poznań Linguistic Meeting (PLM), which will
take place from 13-15 September in Poznań Poland. 

Following the conference leitmotif “Language and evolution: Issues and
perspectives”, we want to explore visual aspects of multimodality of
historical texts, especially the ways in which modern technology may offer new
perspectives on studying historical texts. We are also interested in how
problems and methodologies of historical and modern research on visual
rhetoric, textual pragmatics and multimodality can influence one another and
how these can inform us about visually embedded language phenomena and their
role and functions. 

Possible foci include:

- Materiality of the text
- Visual pragmatics of pre-modern texts
- Text-image studies
- Paratextual elements in ‘visual texts’
- Pragmatics of the page
- Manuscript studies and digitalised manuscripts
- Modern editions of historical texts


Call for Papers:

Submission of abstracts will take place according to the guidelines on the PLM
website http://wa.amu.edu.pl/plm/2018/. The deadline for submission to this
session will be March 22, 2018.
