Meeting Description: 

Pop culture appears in diverse textual manifestations, including television
series and films, song lyrics, video games, or graphic novels and comics.
Although there is no universally accepted definition of pop culture,
prototypical texts belong to globalized mainstream media, fulfill the
commercial function of mass entertainment, and are dominated by American
English. However, despite their international reception and sociocultural
impact, and despite the fact that pop culture seems to have overcome its
traditional “low culture” status, relevant texts are still clearly
underresearched in linguistics. 

Style is here considered as a motivated choice of specific linguistic items
that fulfill communicative functions in accordance with contextual parameters
such as author, genre, or discursive context. Correspondingly, this conference
intends to investigate stylistic features that contribute to the mass appeal
of pop cultural texts, arguably representing the most central type of
performed language today. It will also take into account that contemporary pop
culture manifestations are genuinely multimodal (combining text and music,
text and image, etc.), so that further layers of meaning interact with the
verbal discourse.
