Linguistic Field(s): Ling & Literature 

Call Deadline: 01-Feb-2019 

Meeting Description:

In the past decades, in linguistics, literary criticism, culture studies, and
interdisciplinary
fields that include sociology, psychology, and media studies, the
proliferation of the term context
as well as the related ones contextual, (de)contextualization,
context-(in)dependent, etc. might be
considered a sort of a ''contextual turn,'' as opposed to various formalist
paradigms that focus on
autonomous phenomena. The notion of context, from its distant Latin etymology
of weaving
something together, and the traditional philological use to denote simply a
text that surrounds
or is directly connected with some other part referred to, in the work of
Malinowski, Firth and
Halliday was expanded to include not only the linguistic context, but more
importantly, the
situational and cultural ones as well. In the most recent, cognitivist models
the notion of
cognitive context includes also the background knowledge, assumptions and
beliefs of the
participants in the communicative event. All these can dynamically influence
the formation and
interpretation of utterances, texts and discourses.

Goodwin and Duranti in their still very influential volume Rethinking Context:
Language
as an Interactive Phenomenon (1992: 32) stated: ‘‘The notion of context stands
at the cutting
edge of much contemporary research into the relationship between language,
culture and social
organization’’. With this in mind, the aim of the conference Language,
Literature, Context is to
examine context as a dynamic and relational notion, from the perspective of
literary theory and
linguistics. We invite you to explore how language is formed, used and
understood depending on
various linguistic and non-linguistic contextual parameters, and how literary
and non-literary
texts can influence and be influenced by historical, cultural, and
intellectual framework,
temporal, spacial and social settings, discursive elements, interpersonal and
cognitive factors.
