Meeting Description:

VERBAL-Workshop 'Religion & Language / Religion & Sprache', 24-26 
October 2010, Annual Conference of Austrian Linguistics (ÖLT), University 
of Graz

This workshop will explore the role that language plays in shaping, 
constructing and disseminating (conceptions of) religion and religiousness. 
For this purpose, we invite contributions that examine

-different discourses by or on religions or religious groups and on religious
topics,
-different genres, including source texts, exegetic texts, prayers, and
(anti-)missionizing texts, 
-from different social domains, including religious institutions and their
practices, the mass media, and science, 
-viewed from internal or external perspectives,
-drawing upon different methodologies and approaches, ranging from 
discourse analysis over comparative and contrastive synchronic or 
diachronic analysis to homiletics and lexicology, 
-focusing on a variety of topics, e.g. religious identities, fundamentalisms,
taboos, cultural struggles, etc. 

There are no restrictions on the language or the semiotic mode of the 
material to be analysed as we are looking for a wide range of different 
contributions.

The VERBAL-workshop 'Religion & Language' is the fourth in the series "'x] 
& Language' initiated by Eva Lavric. It will be organized by Marietta 
Calderón und Georg Marko. The workshop will be part of the official 
programme of the Annual Conference of Austrian Linguistics (ÖLT) at the 
University of Graz  and will take place from 24-26 October 2010. The 
conference fee for the ÖLT will probably be €20 euro.
