Conference Theme

Dialogue and Representation
We invite researchers to submit proposals that address the connections of 
representation and dialogue, which can be problematized in at least the three 
following ways: 1. Dialogue as representation, 2. Normative perspectives on 
dialogue/representation issues, and 3. Representations of dialogue. The 
conference also welcomes any contribution addressing the question of dialogue. 
The notion of dialogue is not restricted to a specific view of dialogue nor to a 
particular model but covers the whole range of language use including 
approaches based on other concepts such as conversation, discourse or social 
interaction. The following premises are considered to be common ground, even 
though they may also be discussed: (1) Language is primarily used for 
communication, (2) Communication is always dialogic. Based on this inclusive 
acceptation of the notion of dialogue, we hope that many scholars and 
students will be interested in participating in this unique conference.
