Meeting Description:

The conference theme is ''Laughter and Belonging'' and the call for abstracts
is now open for standard academic talks, workshop presentations and speed talk

Confirmed Keynote Speakers:

Associate Professor Meredith Marra, School of Linguistics & Applied Language
Studies, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

Professor Robert Phiddian, College of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences,
Flinders University, Australia

2nd Call for Papers:

Call Deadline Extended to August 31

In response to requests for more time, the organising committee has extended
the closing deadline of the Call for papers and proposals to 31 August. The
committee would like to thank those who have already submitted their
abstracts.

Laughing together can be a powerful force for bonding and bringing people
closer to one another, but laughter and humour can also be divisive and
exclusionary. This year’s conference theme, ‘Laughter and Belonging’,
particularly invites presentations on either or both aspects of laughter and
humour.

As in previous AHSN conferences, however, presentations are welcome on all
aspects of social laughter and humour, and from diverse disciplinary
perspectives, including not only humour studies as such, but also all fields
of linguistics, including pragmatics, semantics, discourse anlysis,
translation studies, psycholinguistics, communication studies and others.
