Papers are welcome on different types of oral narration and from a variety of theoretical 
perspectives. Please send an anonymous proposal of no more than 3000 words (and no less 
than 800) to oralnarration at linguist.jussieu.fr by 25. September 2006, indicating the paper's

Appel à Communications

Le colloque ''La Narration orale. Temporalité et Structuration du discourse'' se donne pour 
but d'étudier la structure du discours oral, et plus particulièrement la structure temporelle des 
narrations orales en français (temps, aspect, adverbes adverbiaux, connecteurs discursifs, 
subordination/coordination?). Les communications consacrées à la structure/cohérence des 
narrations orales en général sont les bienvenues. Une session spéciale sera consacrée aux 
fictions orales, i.e., au conte. Les communications de cette session alterneront avec des 
performances de conteurs français.

Les propositions de communication envoyées au comité scientifique pourront couvrir de 
multiples genres de narrations orales (contes, récits de vie, médias?), et s'inscrire dans des 
cadres théoriques variés. La longueur des proposition (anonymes) de communication ne 
devra pas excéder 3000 mots, mais ne pourra être inférieure à 800 mots.

Ces propositions devront être envoyées par courier électronique à 
oralnarration at linguist.jussieu.fr, avant le 25 septembre 2006 ; le titre de l'article, le nom et 
l'affiliation de l'auteur devront être donnés séparément dans le corps du message. Les 
résumés de communication soumis devront être attachés sous forme de fichiers pdf ou rtf/
Word.

Les communications acceptées auront une durée de 30 minutes, suivies de 10 minutes de 
discussion. Les langues de la conférence sont le français et l'anglais. Un volume d'actes 
publié par Rodopi regroupera les meilleures communications présentées, dans la collection 
''Cahiers Chronos''.

Meeting Description:

Large corpora are already a fact in syntax, semantics and pragmatics. But, what about 
argumentation? Can we use (large) corpora in argumentative analysis? Can we use (large) 
corpora for argumentative analysis? 

This panel wants to address some epistemological and methodological dilemmas related to 
these questions. 

Arguing from Large Corpora: Some Epistemological and Methodological Dilemmas

Panel prepared for the 10th International Pragmatics Conference (Gothenburg, Sweden, 9-
14 July, 2007)         

Large corpora are already a fact in syntax, semantics and pragmatics. But, what about 
argumentation? Can we use (large) corpora in argumentative analysis? Can we use (large) 
corpora for argumentative analysis?  

This panel wants to address (and sometimes re-address) the following questions/problems/
dilemmas: can/may corpora be read as plain texts? Or is there a difference? And if there is a 
difference, what is the most appropriate tool for analyzing corpora? Is there an appropriate 
tool for analyzing corpora at all? Or do we have to (re)invent and (re)construct these tools 
all the time?

How can we identify topics in large corpora if they are NOT to be read as plain texts? How 
can we determine what (topic) is important and what (topic) is not? And last - but not least, 
of course - can we argue from such large corpora? How can we detect and mark off 
arguments within large corpora? Can the whole corpora serve/be used as arguments? And 
what is the value (let alone validity) of such argument(ation)s?

Contributions from all fields of language and language-related studies are welcomed.
If you are interested, please send an abstract by September 1st to the following address: 
igor.zagar at guest.arnes.si. The final decision (depending on how many time slots we will be 
assigned by the conference committee) will be made by the end of September.
