Meeting Description:

of Meaning in Spoken and Written Discourse will be held in Brno on 16-17 
September 2010. The host institution will again be the Department of 
English Language and Literature at the Faculty of Education of Masaryk 
University. 

The Fourth Brno Conference focuses on interpretation of meaning in 
spoken and written discourse. While the thematic scope of the contributions 
is expected to be very wide, we particularly welcome topics exploring aspect 
of discourse coherence, cohesion relations, pragmatic strategies in the 
interpretation of discourse, dialogic aspects of written and spoken 
interaction, genre-specific strategies for the negotiation of meaning in 
spoken and written discourse.

There will be a conference fee of CZK 1000 (€ 40) and participants must pay 
their own travel and accommodation costs. The conference fee includes 
conference materials, including a book of abstracts, a copy of the

dinner on 16th September. 

Accommodation will be arranged, if required. We can provide 
accommodation for any of the nights 15-16, 16-17 and 17-18 September at 
the university hotel. Unfortunately, since the dates of our Conference 
coincide with a big fair in Brno, there has been a change in the price of 
accommodation. The price of a double room including breakfast is CZK 
1180; when occupied by a single person the price of the double room is 
CZK 890. We can also book rooms at the Continental hotel in the centre of 
the city where the prices are: for the night 15-16 Sept., a double room 
including breakfast - CZK 2900 and a single room including breakfast - CZK 
2760; for the rest of the nights, the prices are: a double room including 
breakfast - CZK 1500 and a single room including breakfast - CZK 1050.

spoken interaction and genre-specific strategies for the negotiation of 
meaning in spoken and written discourse.
