Meeting Description:

Discourse markers have been examined in various models of grammar,
such as Functional Discourse Grammar or Construction Grammar,
considering their status as markers in discourse. From a
macro-syntactic point of view, they are seen as peripheral,
independent and movable entities enabling a bracketing function. In
interaction-based models of grammar, such as Interactional
Linguistics, the focus of analysis has been on their status as markers
on discourse. As such, these approaches examine interpersonal and
interactional functions, for instance, turn-taking, positioning of
interlocutors vis à vis each other, vis à vis their discursive
contribution and their attitude towards their own contribution.
The goal of this conference is to bring together research from
different theoretical frameworks in order to find possible bridging
points between grammar-based approaches of “markers in discourse”,
function-based approaches of “markers in /on discourse” and
discourse-based studies.

Call for Papers:

We welcome studies which address at least one of the following issues:

1) Revisiting “in discourse” on a wider scale:
Studies would go beyond single discourse markers and examine for
instance
- Clusters of discourse markers in their linearity
- Patterned co-occurrences of discourse markers and their syntactic
slots (or macro-positions)
- Multiword units as discourse markers
- Discourse markers across discourse units (prospective and
retrospective pointing function)

2) Revisiting “in / on discourse” on a wider scale:
Studies would need to make a link between position and function of
discourse markers in and on language, considering for instance
- Discourse markers, sequentiality and cohesive function
- Discourse markers and discourse coherence
- Stretch of discourse and span of meaning negotiation
- Discourse markers, subjectification and intersubjectification
- Discourse markers and dynamics of interpersonal attitude

3) Revisiting markers “on discourse” on a wider scale:
Studies would need to be interaction-based and tackle the distribution
of discourse markers in and across discourse genres and/or the ways in
which discourse markers intertwine with context
- Discourse markers, and linguistic accommodation
- Discourse markers, contextualisation cues and indexicality
- Discourse markers, linguistic variation and language varieties
