Corpus Linguistics in the South 6: Corpus-assisted discourse analysis
across languages <https://www.facebook.com/events/204318276388198/?ref=22>
*
**Saturday 9 November 2013, University of Portsmouth

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are working
on (critical) discourse analysis of texts in more than one language. It is
an opportunity to discuss the particular challenges posed by
cross-linguistic corpus-assisted discourse analysis and to share ways of
addressing these issues.

We invite papers which:

   1. address specific (theoretical) methodological issues in the area,
   such as how to operationalise keyness in corpora of different languages,
   the identification of equivalence and so on
   2. present case-studies of cross-linguistic (critical) discourse
   analysis research – this could also include work with a cross-cultural focus
   3. present case-studies of corpus approaches to research on multilingual
   texts
   4. combine any of the above

We are particularly interested in papers which address the ideological,
representational and evaluative aspects of discourse because this area
seems to have received rather less attention to date.

In the ‘Corpus Linguistics in the South’ tradition, papers will be 45
minutes and lead into open discussion. We also a plan a pecha-kucha style
session to allow more participants to introduce their work in this area
and, as usual, there will be time over lunch for general discussion of the
topic. We hope that the event will be an opportunity to create a community
for researchers in this area, perhaps working towards a panel and/or
special edition.

If you would be interested in presenting your research, or would like to
reserve a place, please contact charlotte.taylor at port.ac.uk

As always, the event will be free and open to all but with a limited number
of places.
