Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis 

Call Deadline: 25-Jul-2019 

Meeting Description:

The Workshop Approaches to Discourse-Relational Devices (DRDs): Textual
Connectors, Discourse Markers, Modal Particles focuses on the methods of
analysis and annotation used in the study of these important
discourse-structuring items, drawing on the data and results gathered from
corpus-based analyses, applied studies, diachronic, synchronic and
sociolinguistic approaches, and from studies dealing with the variation of
these items across registers/ languages/ language varieties. We start from the
common assumption that these pragmatic classes are demarcated by fuzzy
boundaries and terminological distinctions. However, research in this field
has also produced some convergent methods of analysis. Individual and
collective studies, in various languages, may help provide an overall view of
the way in which this field has developed and of its importance from a
psycholinguistic perspective.

Invited speakers:

Liesbeth Degand
Université Catholique de Louvain, Institute for Language and Communication,
Belgium
Manfred Stede
University of Potsdam, Discourse Research Lab, Germany


Call for Papers:

We invite specialists, early-career researchers and PhD students to submit
abstracts for 20-minute long oral presentations dealing with (but not limited
to) the following issues:

- methods of analysis and annotation for textual connectors, discourse
markers, modal particles and theoretical delimitations between these pragmatic
categories;
- paths of grammaticalization/ pragmaticalization of lexical items (adverbs,
verbs, adjectives, collocations etc.) which result in textual connectors,
discourse markers or other pragmatic particles;
- analyses of DRDs using large amounts of data extracted from corpora and
computational studies;
- sociolinguistic approaches to DRDs;
- variation of these items across registers and language varieties;
- comparative studies of items belonging to these pragmatic classes in one or
several languages;
- translation-based analyses of DRDs.

Submissions should be sent as anonymous pdfs to the address
discourse.workshop2019 at gmail.com, accompanied by a file containing the title
of the paper, the authors and their affiliation.
Submissions must be no longer than two single-spaced pages, in Times New Roman
12, including references and examples.

Workshop language: English 
Workshop fee: 50 euros (payable upon arrival; it includes coffee breaks, and
two meals)

Notification of acceptance: August 1, 2019
