Meeting Description:

Conference Theme: Challenging Boundaries

The framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics has been applied in many different fields and research contexts, establishing it firmly as a prominent approach amongst functional theories. This year's theme ''Challenging Boundaries'' invites speakers to present new ideas as well as interdisciplinary work with SFL, but also to reflect on familiar applications and discuss future developments in established contexts. Questions to be raised may include addressing the boundaries between languages in cross-linguistic studies but also in variational linguistics (non-standard variety or different language?), between literary and non-literary language, between language and other semiotic systems in multimodal studies, between register and genre, register and context, between social-semiotic and cognitive perspectives, between qualitative and quantitative approaches, between example-based and probabilistic approaches and boundaries across strata. Finally, we also welcome contributions which discuss boundaries to neighbouring frameworks such as Functional Discourse Grammar, Constructionist approaches, Critical Discourse Analysis etc. exploring interconnections with SFL.

Workshops cover a specific topic in a hands-on session. We invite proposals of approximately 1,000 words describing the topic and approach. Colloquia consist of 3-4 closely related presentations by different presenters on a joint topic convened by a (team of) chair(s). Abstracts for colloquia should include a general abstract of about 300 words written by the convener of the colloquium, with abstracts by each participating presenter of around 200 words each.

Submissions will be reviewed anonymously by two reviewers.

Proceedings:

In addition to the book of abstracts accompanying the conference, we plan a publication of selected papers from accepted abstracts. These papers will undergo further review before publication. Deadline for submission for review is 31 August 2015.
