2nd CALL FOR PAPERS

I-mean 2, Context and Meaning Conference, UWE, Bristol 13-15 April 2011

The conference addresses the relationship between context and meaning, how context may be defined, how meaning is interpreted in context, how speakers create and negotiate context in interaction, and how context is dealt with in different research traditions. We seek to explore ways in which researchers can fruitfully work across methodological and disciplinary boundaries. Particularly in the (broadly defined) field of discourse analysis, there are widely recognized approaches which are often associated with specific methodological tools.

The conference aims to explore whether and to what extent bringing together different methodological and theoretical approaches can:

*         enhance understanding of meaning in interaction
*         capture the contextual information which speakers draw upon dynamically in interaction
*         lead to theoretically robust methodological innovation

Papers are invited from researchers working across different linguistic fields and traditions, focusing on any aspect of meaning and interaction.

Main conference themes:
Context in spoken interaction: methodologies and methods
Context and intercultural pragmatics
Multimodal approaches to context
Context and meaning in translation
The teachability of sociopragmatics

Plenary speakers (confirmed):
Karin Aijmer, University of Gothenburg,
Paul Drew, University of York,
Susan Herring, Indiana University,
Sally McConnell-Ginet, Cornell University,
Norma Mendoza-Denton, University of Arizona

Round table: Stances, methodologies and methods for the analysis of context in interaction.
I-mean 2 will include a round table as a central event where distinguished scholars representing well established paradigms in the analysis of interaction will discuss whether and to what extent bringing together different theoretical stances, methodologies and methods is a) possible b) beneficial to methodological innovation and c) can lead to a better understanding of context in interaction.

Invited colloquia:
I-mean 2 will host two invited colloquia. For more details please see http://www1.uwe.ac.uk/cahe/elc/newsandevents/events/i-meanuwe2.aspx

Paper submission:

Paper proposals of no more than 350 words (max and including references, if necessary) are invited. The deadline for receipt of abstracts is the 5th January 2011. Abstracts should not include the name and affiliation of the author(s).

Subject: Re: [GALA-L] GALA-L Digest - 26 Oct 2010 to 29 Oct 2010 (#2010-85)

Femininity, Feminism and Gendered Discourse. Selected papers from the Fifth IGALA Conference held in Wellington New Zealand in 2008
edited by  Holmes, Janet and Meredith Marra is now available from Cambridge Scholars.


The chapters in this book illustrate a range of cutting edge research in language and gender studies, with contributions from a number of internationally recognised experts. The three themes, femininity, feminism and gendered discourse are central to research in language and gender, and the book thus makes a valuable contribution to a number of current debates.  The different contributions represent research from a multiplicity of geographic and cultural backgrounds, supporting efforts to internationalise language and gender research, and to raise awareness of empirical studies undertaken in a wide range of linguistic and cultural contexts.
