SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

THE NEW ZEALAND DISCOURSE CONFERENCE
The Challenge of Discourse Analysis

Institute of Culture, Discourse & Communication
AUT University
Auckland
New Zealand

6th - 8th December 2007

The organisers invite submissions of abstracts for presentations at The New 
Zealand Discourse Conference: the Challenge of Discourse Analysis, to be 
held 6th - 8th December, 2007 at the AUT University, Auckland, New Zealand, 
Institute of Culture, Discourse & Communication.

This conference focuses on the wide-ranging application of discourse 
analysis as a methodology in a variety of disciplines, and on addressing 
issues of theory raised by the practice of discourse analysis. The 
conference will include workshop sessions focusing on different approaches 
to conducting discourse analysis and the challenges that these raise. Is 
there a common core to all discourse analysis? Where do approaches diverge 
or even become incompatible? By bringing together the threads that are 
labelled discourse analysis we hope to shed light on different research and 
theoretical aims and approaches.
