Dialogic Language Use 3 is the third international symposium in a
series related to dialogic language and phenomena associated with it.
The symposium is organized by the Modern Language Society in Helsinki,
15-17 August 2012 as part of the Society.s 125th anniversary
celebrations. This year.s theme is the darker side of dialogic
language use: misunderstanding, polemics, disagreement, swearing,
insults, slander, and verbal hygiene. We invite participants working
in the fields of sociolinguistics, translation studies, pragmatics,
conversation analysis, discourse analysis, and literary criticism,
with both present-day and historical perspectives. Possible research
questions may include the following:
.        Do insults have a logic of their own? Are there patterns in
individual or collective ways of insulting? Is it possible to
determine, for example, the morphology of swearing, and the linguistic
or discursive structures of an insult? What does swearing represent
in, for example, literary texts?
.        What recent developments can be traced in linguistic studies of
misunderstanding? Can communicative failure be described
schematically? How is misunderstanding represented in different texts,
such as textbooks, comics, and fiction?
.        How has social media changed and influenced the study of
these issues?
.        What sort of ethical issues arise when these questions are
explored?
.        How does harsh language change in translation . or does it?
.        How is the dichotomy between written and spoken language
manifested in the case of, for example, insults?
