Linguistic and Psycholinguistic Approaches to 
Text Structuring (LPTS 2009), September 21-23 
2009, Ecole Normale Supérieure, 45 rue d’Ulm, 75005 Paris, France
1st call for papers

The aim of the conference is to provide an 
interdisciplinary forum to present and discuss 
recent work on markers of discourse structure: 
adverbials, connectives, discourse particles, 
etc. How can we categorize these markers? What 
kind of relations do they express? Can they 
combine several functions at the sentence level 
and/ or at the discourse level and, if so, which 
ones? What impact do discourse structure markers 
have on comprehension? When and how are they 
acquired? From what age are children able to 
master their use in oral and written discourse?
The goal of the conference is more specifically 
to advance research into the relationship between 
the position of the markers concerned and their 
ability to play a role in discourse organization. 
Do these markers have a privileged position? We 
know that sentence initial position is a 
strategic position in terms of information 
structuring/packaging and memory. But can these 
factors override the word order constraints of 
each language? Are there also observable 
variations between discourse genres and between written and oral modes?
We invite papers using cognitive and functional 
approaches, based on corpora in different 
languages at different stages of their evolution, 
as well as papers that report on psycholinguistic 
approaches based on behavioural data.

TOPICS MAY INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING:
- Segmentation and linearization
- Initial positioning
- Saliency and Information Structure
- Grammaticalization and evolution of structure markers
- Typological approach to structure markers
- Spatial and temporal discourse structure
- Effects of discourse organization markers on comprehension
- Acquisition and mastery of their use in discourse production
- Role of text structuring devices in acquiring knowledge
