Santiago de Compostela, 29-30 September, 2016

IWoDA is an international workshop jointly organised by the SCIMITAR team and
the Discourse & Identity research group, both of them based at the University
of Santiago de Compostela (Spain). The aim of IWoDA is to promote
multidisciplinary research on the analysis of discourse, pondering and
exploring the multifaceted properties of English-language texts/discourse from
different perspectives (quantitative, qualitative, linguistic, cognitive,
psycholinguistic, contrastive, sociolinguistic, critical, literary, cultural,
filmic, semiotic, etc.).

Guest speakers will provide case studies, tools and methodologies in order to
upgrade the skills necessary to do discourse analysis in different settings
and for different purposes, thereby promoting life-long learning and
encouraging synergies between IWoDA'16 includes:

-  A hands-on Practical Session conducted by Douglas Biber (Northern Arizona
University)

- Four plenary lectures delivered by the following keynote speakers:

Douglas Biber & Meixiu Zhang (Northern Arizona University)
