Meeting Description:

LSP 2019 - 22nd Conference on Languages for Specific Purposes - University of
Padova, Italy
Mediating Specialized Knowledge: Challenges and Opportunities for LSP
Communication, Translation and Research

Whether within or across languages, communicating specialized knowledge – to
experts in other domains of the same specialism, to experts in other fields,
to students or to lay people – involves a degree of mediation. This conference
focuses on LSP discourse and the ways in which it appears in or is shaped by
mediation and the mediating process. While engaging with the public to
co-construct knowledge poses challenges, as it requires inclusion of
alternative and sometimes contrasting perspectives, it also provides
opportunities requiring novel investigations and innovative research
methodologies in LSP/professional discourse studies. 

Along with established patterns of mediation in LSP/professional contexts,
growing use of digital media broadens the range of new genres and hybrid forms
and influences discourse practices to make and maintain contact, to develop
relationships and build networks in a multimodal environment. While research
has made significant progress in many areas of LSP discourse, there is scope
for further investigations and new methodologies to explore how scientists,
professionals, journalists and all kinds of stakeholders deal with mediation
of specialised knowledge at different levels to ensure effective communication
in the age of digital media. Further inquiries concern whether and to what
extent digital media affect communication in formal media.

The working languages of the conference are English, French, German, Italian,
Russian and Spanish but all speakers are kindly requested to provide slides in
English.

Keynote Speakers:

Prof. Bruce Maylath, North Dakota State University
Prof. Federica Scarpa, Università degli Studi di Trieste
Prof. Gisle Andersen, NHH Norges Handelshøyskole Bergen
Prof. Khurshid Ahmad, Trinity College Dublin
