[Corpora-List] Call for Book Chapters: Crisis and in Contemporary Greece: Integrating Critical Discourse Analysis and Corpus Linguistics

[Ourania Hatzidaki]

*Call for Book Chapters*



Working title: *Crisis and Conflict in Contemporary Greece:
Integrating* *Critical
Discourse Analysis and Corpus Linguistics*



Edited by Ourania Hatzidaki (Hellenic Air Force Academy, Greece) and
Dionysis Goutsos (University of Athens, Greece)



In the context of the 11th International Conference on Greek Linguistics in
September 2013 (University of the Aegean, Rhodes, Greece) a workshop was
held under the title “(Critical) Discourse Analysis and Corpus Linguistics:
A Methodological Synergy for the Study of Modern Greek.” A British
publisher has expressed an interest in publishing an edited volume on this
theme. We invite you to submit a chapter abstract for inclusion in a book
proposal to be submitted to the publishing house.



Rationale



The aim of this edited volume is to reflect the growing interest in
integrating the critical discourse analysis and corpus linguistics
methodologies/models and to highlight the analytical benefits which can be
derived from this symbiotic approach for the study of the Modern Greek
language, society and culture. This project purports to compile a body of
scholarly work in an area with so far only sporadic publications for the
specific language. Potential contributors are encouraged to propose
original analyses which consciously and systematically employ both the CDA
and CL approaches in a balanced, complementary and mutually informing and
enhancing manner. Ideally, projects should do justice to, and creatively
combine the critical and in-depth study of both computationally extracted
corpus-driven data (e.g. frequency, keyword, or collocations lists,
concordances etc.) and whole texts or substantial excerpts thereof (e.g.
extended concordance lines) (plus, possibly, other forms of discourse or
contextual/extra-textual information such as images, graphics etc.).



In terms of subject matter, the book focuses on instances of
socio-political crisis in contemporary Greece, i.e. throughout the
*metapolitefsi* period (from the 1974 democratic transition to the present
day). Topics may include the activity of Greek social-revolutionary
terrorist groups, the 2008 riots prompted by the murder of Alexandros
Grigoropoulos, the current Greek debt crisis and its socio-economic impact,
the recent rise of the far-right Golden Dawn party and the crisis following
the murder of Pavlos Fyssas, etc. Relevant discourses may be culled from
official/establishment and anti-establishment sources, neo-Nazism or
anti-Nazism supporters, the (New) Media, graffiti and so on.



Submitting a proposal



Potential contributors are expected to send in an abstract of their
proposed paper by January 20, 2014 to the editors Ourania Hatzidaki (
o.hatzidaki at gmail.com) or Dionysis Goutsos (*dgoutsos at phil.uoa.gr
<dgoutsos at phil.uoa.gr>*). Authors will be notified about the acceptance of
their abstracts by February 20, 2014. Provided the book proposal is
approved by the publisher, a deadline will be set for the submission of
full papers by around November 2014.
