Meeting Description:

Metalinguistic Markers: Emergence, Discourse, Variation

“Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași 

Conference organized within the research project “Metalinguistic Markers
between Lexicon, Grammar and Discourse. A Diachronic Approach”, funded by the
Romanian Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitization, CNCS/CCCDI –
UEFISCDI, project number PN-III-P4-ID-PCE-2020-1505

During the last decades metalinguistic markers have been the subject of
ongoing research in linguistics. Indeed, the metalinguistic activities that
these markers refer to, such as reformulating, terminological borrowing,
correcting, approximating, exemplifying, etc., are essential features of
language functioning.

“Metalinguistic markers” will be considered in a broad sense as referring to
the different illustrations of the reflexivity of natural languages, whether
they are phrases concerning language use (metalinguistic markers, in a narrow
sense), the act of saying (meta-enunciative markers) or discourse itself
(metadiscursive markers).
Whether they are lexemes or phrasemes, these phrases present various degrees
of lexicalization and grammaticalization/ pragmaticalization, this property
being reflected in the approaches dealing with their emergence. More broadly,
studying the way in which these expressions evolved provides elements that
shed light on the relationship between lexicon, grammar and discourse.

2nd Call for Papers:

Metalinguistic Markers: Emergence, Discourse, Variation

June 8-9, 2022

“Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași

Conference organized within the research project “Metalinguistic Markers
between Lexicon, Grammar and Discourse. A Diachronic Approach”, funded by the
Romanian Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitization, CNCS/CCCDI –

ongoing research in linguistics. Indeed, the metalinguistic activities that
these markers refer to, such as reformulating, terminological borrowing,

of lexicalization and grammaticalization/ pragmaticalization, this property
being reflected in the approaches dealing with their emergence. More broadly,
studying the way in which these expressions evolved provides elements that
shed light on the relationship between lexicon, grammar and discourse.

Contributions should question, among others, the semantic-pragmatic
functioning of metalinguistic markers in different types of discourse, their
relationship to variation, as well as the mechanisms of their emergence, using
oral/written corpora. Papers may concern one particular language or propose
contrastive approaches involving two or more languages.

Contributions related but not limited to the following research areas and
topics are welcome:
- metalinguistic markers and types of discourse (literary, scientific,
journalistic, didactic, etc.). Papers should aim at establishing connections
between a particular phrase and a specific type of discourse and at
identifying, where appropriate, the textual/discursive environments that
trigger the emergence of a particular metadiscursive expression. Comparisons
may be carried out between different types of discourse from the point of view
of the use of metalinguistic markers;
- diachronic approach of metalinguistic markers. The discussion will focus on
the changes in use or frequency that metalinguistic markers can undergo in
diachrony; 
- metalinguistic markers and variation. Papers could also focus on identifying
factors of variation (regional, situational, social) in the use of the
markers, in written/oral discourse; 
- metalinguistic markers in translation. Contributions should aim to provide
answers to questions such as: What are the processes involved in the
translation of these markers from one language to another? Could the
translation process lead to the emergence of some new markers in the target
language?, etc.
- metalinguistic markers and language acquisition. Comparisons can be made
between the metalinguistic operations accomplished by means of the various
markers studied in different types of discourse and the metalinguistic
activities involved in the process of acquisition of a given language. 

Languages of communication:  French and English.

Wiltrud Mihatsch, University of Tübingen
Laurence Rouanne, Complutense University of Madrid
