Discourse resources: the sociolinguistics of access,

programme committee particularly welcomes papers which address the
connections between sociolinguistics and discourse analysis by foregrounding
issues of inequality with regard to resources of language, discourses,
styles and genres. Contributors are encouraged to pay special attention to
international as well as local sites of language use and to signed as well
as spoken language.
