[Corpora-List] CfP: Languaging Diversity

[Marco Venuti]

(with apologies for cross-posting)

Following the great success of the first International Conference hosted 
by The University of Naples “L’Orientale” last year, this year the 
University of Catania, Italy, will host the second edition of the 
Conference and invites researchers and scholars to submit proposals for 
individual papers on *Language and Diversity: Discourse and Translation, 
*promoted by the I-LanD interuniversity research centre.


This year, researchers and scholars are invited to submit original 
contributions exploring /Language /and /Diversity /by focusing on the 
issue of 'alterity' in discourses and translationin/of different 
cultures and languages.

Drawing onthe current debate on the several modes in which alterity and 
diversity are construed through language, the Conference intends to 
trigger a reflection on the relationship between translation and the 
concept of 'alterity'; on the relationship between language and cultural 
identity; on the relationship between language and gender and/or sexual 
identity also in relation to translation; and on any form of language 
diversification arising from contamination/hybridization/migration of 
genre(s), discourse(s) and text-typologies (such as changing forms and 
formats between spoken and written language, specialized discourse vs. 
popularized discourse, and so forth).


We invite submissions for abstracts for 20-minute presentations in any 
field related to the following macro-areas and methodological approaches 
that are to be understood as general guidelines and can be further extended:


-Critical Discourse Analysis

-Linguistic and cultural mediation

-Translation perspectives

-EFL, ESL, ELF, ESP and Corpus Linguistics

-Language crossing, switching, and mixing

-Language variation and language change

-Multimodal, digital and audio-visual discourse(s)

-Contrastive Pragmatics

-Gender studies

-Language and identity

- Translation studies

-Alterity and translation (conceptual, cultural and linguistic issues)

-Audiovisual translation

-Intersemiotic translation

- Culture, identity and translation
