CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Workshop on Corpus-Based Terminology
Bozen/Bolzano, February 26-28, 1998
European Academy Bozen/Bolzano
Patronage
Autonome Provinz Bozen
=============
BACKGROUND
=============
The motivation to organize this workshop is a project currently in the
planning phase at the European Academy Bozen/Bolzano. The main goal of
the project is to elaborate a comprehensive Italian/German terminology
in the areas of law and administration for the use in South Tyrol by
extracting the term pairs from a representative corpus of relevant
bilingual texts. A more detailed description can be found here:
http://www.eurac.edu/fb1/Projects/catex.htm
The objective of the workshop is to bring together leading researchers
working on corpus-based terminology and to provide a forum of discussion
of the state of the art in this area. The main focus will be on
computational methods and technologies covering the following topics:
T1: Encoding (multilingual) text corpora
T2: Extraction of data/knowledge from text corpora (translation
equivalents, concept relations, ...)
T3: Terminological data/knowledge representation

Subject: Politeness Theory
CALL FOR PAPERS
Politeness theory and language in the mass media
This is a call for papers that explore linguistic politeness and
social interaction in the mass media. In the introduction to the
second edition of Politeness, Brown and Levinson write, "we believe we
happen to have stumbled on an area where many orthogonal aspects of
social life converge in a set of crucial preoccupations in social
interaction." Brown and Levinson state that politeness is at the
heart of those preoccupations. While there have been numerous studies
of linguistic politeness since Brown and Levinson's original paper,
there has been little attention paid to politeness theory in
discussions of language in the mass media. We believe that the mass
media provide a unique yet ubiquitous arena through which to explore
linguistic politeness because of the often ambiguous nature of social
interaction in the mass media. It is our interest in the nature of
social interaction in the mass media that provides the impetus for
this book project. We also believe there is a need for theories of
media discourse based on sociolinguistic perspectives.
We are seeking original essays to include in a book volume that examines
aspects of linguistic politeness based on data collected from the
mass media. We would especially like to encourage submissions based
on data from languages other than English. The intended audience of
the book will be undergraduates,graduate students, and scholars in the
areas of sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics, linguistic
pragmatics, ethnography of communication, sociology and
communications.
Please forward an indication of interest and a one-page abstract of
the proposed contribution by April 30, 1998 to: Prof. Troi Carleton
