Linguistic Field(s): Anthropological Linguistics; General Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

The congress theme, Negotiating difference: languages, metalanguages,
modalities, cultures, celebrates the rich and multifaceted nature of semiotic
systems as research objects as well as the multilayered nature of the 
research and contributions to linguistics that are motivated by those 
semiotic systems. The theme also celebrates dialogue, plurality and mutual 
acquaintance by promoting not only intersections and interfaces involving 
different perspectives, trends and theoretical perceptions of research 
objects within systemic functional linguistics, but also associations and 
connections with theories and methodologies outside systemic functional 
linguistics.

The theme therefore seeks to be broad and inclusive, inspiring the 
congress to embrace contributions that fall outside the scope promoted by 
previous ISFCs. In particular, it aims at building bridges, transcending 
frontiers and negotiating difference to include reflections, dialogues, 
partnerships and discussions with researchers working in other theories 
and methodologies but who share certain fundamental axioms with SFL. 

The congress will open formally the morning of Monday, July 25.  Each day 
will include two plenary papers and a range of parallel sessions.

Plenary speakers:

Caroline Coffin, Open University, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom
Frances Christie, Sydney University, Sydney, Australia
