Meeting Description:

This year the annual meeting of the PhD students participating in the
Franco-German PhD College “Collocations and Discourse Traditions” (2016-2019)
will take place at the Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona. The meeting
organised by the network’s three partner universities: University of Potsdam
(Germany), Paris West University Nanterre La Défense (France) and Pompeu Fabra
University (Spain). The meeting takes the form of a workshop and offers a
platform for presenting on-going PhD theses in the field of linguistics and
related disciplines. It is also an opportunity to exchange knowledge and
experiences and bring together students from different countries and
universities in order to strengthen cooperation and international exchange.

The topic of the workshop continues the research issues discussed in former
meetings. Primarily, it focuses on the development of collocations in the
framework of certain discourse traditions and the introduction of the latter
by means of translation. In addition, the modification of collocations may
indicate a change of the established discourse traditions. The research in the
network favours approaches relying on text linguistics, discourse analysis and
variational linguistics, both from a synchronic and diachronic perspective.
The main emphasis is placed on the description and frequency of collocations
in a corpus-driven approach. Other lines of research are connected to foreign
language linguistics and didactics.

The annual workshop centres on studying discourse traditions from
intra-linguistic, cross-linguistic and translational points of view. It is
open to PhD projects comparing collocations and discourse traditions between
several European languages, in different text types and discourse genres.

The workshop takes place within the framework of the Franco-German PhD Network
“Collocations and Discourse Traditions” (2016-2019, DFDK/CDFA 04-10), funded
by the Deutsch-Französische Hochschule – Université Franco-Allemande of the
DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft).

Call for Papers:

We invite contributions on applied and theoretical topics, including but by no
means limited to:

- The concept of discourse traditions from linguistic and translational
perspectives
- Establishment of discourse traditions through translation
- Comparison and development of the theoretical description of collocations
- Multi-word units (phraseological units), lexicalisation and
grammaticalisation
- Types of collocations and their presence in different text types and
discourse genres
- Delimitation between syntagmas, collocations, compounds, etc., and possible
transition zones
- Intra-linguistic description of the development of collocations over time
and in various discourse genres
- Cross-linguistic studies on the differences between typical combinations of
words and the creation or transmission of collocations
- Translational approaches to discourse traditions and studies of collocations
in translation

The languages of the workshop are English, French, German and Spanish. In
order to facilitate comprehension and discussion, we suggest that participants
who do their presentations in French, German or Spanish should provide
hand-outs and slides in English. The length of presentations should not exceed
20 minutes each, in order to leave sufficient time for discussion of the
contributions (10 minutes).

Please, send your abstract to: jenny.brumme at upf.edu no later than 30 June
2016.

Abstracts should not exceed 300 words excluding figures and references.
Please, specify the following details:
Name and surname
Institution
PhD school or program
Expected completion date of dissertation (month and year)
PhD Advisor(s)

There is no fee for participation, but participants will be responsible for
their own expenses.
