Meeting Description:

Linguistics conference inviting presentations and posters reporting the
results of research into specialised discourse in English. The main theme is
the plurality of functions language may perform by a wide range of linguistic
means and the role of context in the choice of specific functions and their
linguistic realisations.


2nd Call for Papers:

The Department of English Language and Literature, Faculty of Education,
Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic announces The Eighth Brno Conference
on Linguistics Studies in English, which will be held in Brno on 12-13
September 2019. 

The Eighth Brno Conference will focus on two core aspects in the study of
discourse that seem to have recently attracted attention of researchers – the
plurality of functions language may perform by a wide range of linguistic
means and the role of context in the choice of specific functions and their
linguistic realisations. 

We hope to examine the bridges that are being built over the time span between
the traditional Jakobsonian concept of language functions, the
well-established Hallidayan functional-systemic approach to language, and the
modern specialised discourses defined as the specialist use of language in
contexts typical of a specialised discourse community “stretching across the
academic, the professional, the technical and the occupational areas of
knowledge and practice” (Gotti 2008: 24). We believe that this will help us
bring new insights into how specialised discourses vary across genres,
cultures and times in context.

We particularly welcome papers and posters on the following topics:

- characteristic features of specialised discourse
- new genres of specialised discourse
- pragmatics of specialised discourse 
- diachronic changes in specialised discourses
- variation across genres and cultures
- academic discourse
- media discourse
- learner discourse
- English as a lingua franca

We are pleased to announce that the following keynote speakers have confirmed
their participation at the conference:

Josef Schmied, Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany
Julia Huettner, University of Vienna, Austria
Markéta Malá, Charles University, Czech Republic
