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.
