 ==========================================================================
Please keep your conference announcement as short as you can; LINGUIST
will not post conference announcements which in our opinion are
excessively long.  Also, please remember that, once posted, your
announcement will be permanently available at our website:
   http://www.linguistlist.org/issues/indices/Confs1997r.html
For this reason, we discourage multiple submissions of the same
conference announcement.  Thank you for your cooperation.

The conference will address research on the design of informative,
instructive, and persuasive texts.

discourse studies, (cognitive) linguistics, educational psychology,
speech communication, technical documentation, communication science,
social psychology, cognitive psychology, marketing communication, and so
on.

Contributions

The organizers invite contributions on how document design decisions and
the choice of message variables affect the function and use of
informative, instructive, or persuasive documents.

Methodologies used may range from experimental and (corpus) analytical
to case studies. Message variables may concern content, structure,
style, lay-out, audience, and so on.
