Call Deadline: 25-Jan-2020 

Meeting Description:

The Corpora and Discourse International Conference series is a biennial event
which brings together researchers employing corpus linguistics to examine
language above the level of the clause in a broad range of sub-disciplines.
Following highly successful events at Lancaster University (2018), University
of Siena (2016), and University of Bologna (2012), the 2020 conference will be
hosted in Brighton (UK) by the University of Sussex.


We invite proposals which combine corpus linguistics and discourse analysis in
all forms and under all names. This might include work that self-describes as:
corpus-assisted discourse studies, corpus-based (critical) discourse studies,
corpus-based sociolinguistics, corpus-driven discourse studies, corpus
pragmatics, corpus stylistics, or corpus & discourse work that does not go
under any particular label. Our aim is to bring together all researchers who
are interested in how discourse/s are structured, patterned or received and
who use corpus linguistics in their work.

Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to:

- discourse organisation
- language ideology
- language policy
- analyses of socially important issues
- discourse/s and identity
- discourse/s in translation studies
- stylistic analyses of discourse
- discourse/s in literary texts
- discourse/s in language learning
- discourse/s in language teaching
- discourse/s in languages for specialised purposes
- organisational discourse/s
- investigations of non-literal language in discourse (e.g. metaphor,
metonymy, irony)
- comparative studies of different discourse/s and discourse types
- comparative studies of discourse/s over different periods of time
- investigations of cultural and cross-cultural topics

We also welcome papers which include reflective considerations on
theoretico-methodological issues. These might include discussion of questions
such as:

- How is the combination of corpus and discourse analysis developing?
- What is the future of corpus and discourse analysis?
- What counts as best practice and are there any practices best avoided?
- How can we increase our awareness and reflexivity as researchers in this
field?
- What forms can triangulation in corpus and discourse take?
- What future directions should we be aware of / consider?
- How might recent developments in (critical) discourse studies impact the
combination?
- What new software may be of particular relevance to the area?
- What challenges do particular forms of corpus and discourse face? (e.g.
analysis of social media, responsive analysis of fast-moving topics, analysis
of historical discourse/s etc.)
- What can a corpus and discourse approach do with big data that was not
collected/designed for corpus work?

Proposals for workshops show-casing and providing hands-on experience with new
software or methods are also encouraged.

We invite contributors to submit abstracts (up to 300 words) by 25 January
2020 to corporadiscourse at gmail.com

All proposals will be peer-reviewed by the conference scientific committee
