Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis 

Call Deadline: 15-Jun-2022 

Meeting Description:

Everybody knows the famous saying “everybody talks about the weather”, and in
fact – when looking for instance at weather-related phrasemes in different
languages – we do find that a certain “weather discourse”or “weather talk” is
embedded in the world’s languages. This conference seeks to bring together
those linguists working with different aspects of this ''weather discourse''.
This way, we hope to highlight the different features of weather discourse and
confront the different theoretical and empirical questions regarding this kind
of discourse.


Call for Papers:

Everybody knows the famous saying “everybody talks about the weather”, and in
fact – when looking for instance at weather-related phrasemes in different
languages – we do find that a certain “weather discourse” or “weather talk” is
embedded in the world’s languages. Consequently, many linguistic studies have
looked into this weather discourse or, more in general, into the relationship
between weather /natural phenomena and language. These studies have focused,
among other, on (a) weather phrasemes (cf. Eriksen et al. 2010, 2012), (b) the
perception of climate and climate change through language (cf. Döring 2005,
2015; Danto 2020; Colias & Danto 2020), (c) the text-linguistic dimension of
weather reporters (cf. Davidse & Noppen 2003; Krycki 2001, 2006; Antieu 2012;
Mac 2015; Blondeau & Labeau 2016; Liégeois 2021), and (d) syntax-semantics
analyses of the verbal categories within this text-genre (cf. Sandig 1970;
Hoch 1988; Neuendorff 1989; Sommerfeldt 1998; Brinker 2001; Heinemann &
Heinemann 2002; Krycki 2009).

Considering the above overview of research on weather discourse/weather and
language, one could even talk about a “weather linguistics” as a linguistic
subdiscipline. The goals of this conference are therefore to (a) unite
different researchers working on this subject, (b) shine light on the
different features of this “weather discourse” and different weather-related
appellatives and (c) confront the different theoretical and empirical
questions regarding this kind of discourse. Possible subjects include but are
by no means limited to:

(I) The linguistic study of weather reports and weather forecasts
(II) Discourse on weather and geography
(III) Perception of weather and geography
(IV) The study of weather phrasemes
(V) The semantic and grammatical features of weather appellatives (weather
nouns, verbs, adjectives)

Please note that, notwithstanding our interest in discourse on and linguistic
perception of weather, climate and geography, our conference does not intend
to feature proposals regarding critical analyses of political and public
discourse on climate change, for which there are better forums elsewhere.

Though mostly oriented towards Romance and Germanic languages, including
“smaller” ones and dialects, we also welcome contributions regarding other
languages, as well as more philological takes on the matter, discussing
problems concerning corpora on weather-related conversations and
weather-related texts.

Interested authors are invited to send their proposals to
Vince.Liegeois at u-bourgogne.fr by June 15, 2022.

Proposals should contain between 300 and 500 words (references excluded) and
should explain the theoretical background, methodology and research question.
Languages of the conference are English, French and German. Proposals can be
written in any of the three languages. Notification of acceptance/denial shall
be sent out on July 13, 2022.

The conference itself shall be accompanied by two keynote-lectures.
