Forensic Linguistics Conference

[Carmen Caldas-Coulthard]

For your information


[X]Language and the Law – Bridging the Gaps is the first International Conference to be jointly sponsored by ALIDI (the newly formed Association for Language and Law for Speakers of Portuguese) and the IAFL (the International Association of Forensic Linguists).  The official languages of the Conference will be English and Portuguese.

The conference will be jointly hosted by PPGI (the Postgraduate Programme in English) and PGET (the Postgraduate Programme in Translation Studies), both at UFSC (the Federal University of Santa Catarina) in Florianopolis, Brazil. The Conference will take place in the Centre for Communication and Expression on the main University campus.

The Federal University of Santa Catarina, (UFSC)
The Federal University is ranked as the 5th best in South America. Not only does it not charge fees for students, but it actually offers generous maintenance bursaries to a significant number of postgraduate students. There is a campus map on the fourth page of the following website, http://antiga.ufsc.br/paginas/mapa_ufsc.php and the Conference will be located in the CCE building which is just to the left of the centre of the map.
