SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE FOLLOWING COLLOQUIUM:

                "LEGAL DISCOURSE AND SOCIAL INQUIRY: its interpretation and
innovative directions"

Content: It will give contributors an opportunity not only to re-assess the
linguistic descriptions of legal discourse, but also consider the utility of
the latter in relation to former and/or oncoming social, political,
legislative or jurisprudential developments. The topics and aspects to be
discussed could be speech acts, conversational structures, linguistic
(grammatical and lexical) phenomena in spoken and written sub-genres.

Convener: Dr ANNE WAGNER

Abstracts or full papers should be sent before the end of May (at the latest)

-  towards educating the lay public and/or artificial intelligencia.
The goal of this workshop is to bring these designers together, to help us
collectively understand the underlying issues, and to investigate the best

such resources.
