AILA 05 Call for Papers Rhetoric & Stylistics

[Gail Stygall]

My apologies in advance for cross-posting.

I have recently agreed to serve as the convener for Rhetoric and
Stylistics for AILA 2005 (International Association for Applied
Linguistics).  I invite you to make a proposal for either a paper or
a symposium for the conference, to be held in Madison, Wisconsin, July
24-29, 2005.  This is the first time that AILA has been held in the U.S.
and the deadline for proposals is short--May 1--so that international
participants have enough time to process their paperwork to get here.  So
here's the call:

Call for Papers and Symposium: Rhetoric and Stylistics

Papers and symposium proposals are invited on any topic related to
Rhetoric and/or Stylistics.  Particular topics of interest include
Rhetoric and Style of the Disciplines, Teaching Style (both in
free-standing stylistics courses or teaching style in the writing
classroom, first or second language), and the Rhetoric and/or Style of
Media War Reporting.

        Title should be a maximum of 10 words
        Name, affiliation, and email address of presenter(s)
        Type of proposal, either a paper or a poster
