> 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 isdealt 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
> Theteachability of sociopragmatics
>

> 
> 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.
