> Conference Description
> 
> Discourse Analysis and Corpus Linguistics share a fundamental assumption - language description
> 
> entails examining natural language for usage patterns. In other words, we make generalisations about
> 
> how people use language. Historically, the difference has been that Discourse Analysis looked in very
> 
> close detail at small samples, developing tools accordingly, and Corpus Linguistics took a more coarse
> 
> grain approach to large samples, developing different analytical tools.
> 
> 
> However, recent years have seen methodological and analytical convergence. More and more often
> 
> corpus linguists are concerned with subtle semantic and pragmatic questions and more and more often
> 
> discourse analysts are employing quantitative methods more typical of corpus research. This conference
> 
> hopes to bring the two groups closer together, to learn from each other, on the common ground of
> 
> epistemic modality.
> 
> 
> Epistemic modality, in the broad sense, is one of the most complex linguistic phenomena. Its expression
> 
> bridges and integrates lexical, morphological, syntactic, prosodic, and discursive structures in language.
> 
> It is a central domain of research in Discourse Analysis and is becoming an important field in Corpus
> 
> Linguistics. This conference brings together the two analytical traditions with the aims
> 
> 
> - develop usage-based methodology
> 
> - explain and describe epistemic modality
> 
> 
> Modality - from mental predicates and epistemic adjectives, through modal auxiliaries and infixes,
> 
> grammatical voice and transitivity, to the complexities of intonation and gesticulation, crosses most
> 
> traditional boundaries of language analysis. The theme of this conference is advancing methodology to
> 
> better understand such complexity.

> Abstract Submission
> 
> The study of epistemic representation in and across all languages is welcome, as well as diachronic,
> 
> variationist, contrastive and typological research. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are also
> 
> welcome, the only criterion being that analysis be based upon 'found' natural language and the method
> 
> employed be explicitly considered.
