Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Discourse Analysis; General Linguistics; Language Acquisition; Translation 

Call Deadline: 15-Jun-2016 

Meeting Description:

The 4th edition of the conference aims to bring together researchers and
practitioners in the field of theoretical and applied linguistics with a view
to promoting interdisciplinary and intercultural dialogue and enhancing an
eclectic approach to the study of language (text linguistics, intercultural
communication, language acquisition, language teaching, phonology, morphology,
and syntax, semantics and pragmatics of intercultural discourse, stylistics,
sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, lexicology and lexicography, translation
studies, (critical) discourse analysis, current research methods in
linguistics). At the same time, this conference provides an opportunity to
re-enforce the dialogue on research and collaboration in academic and
professional contexts. Such collaboration is fundamental to the design and
implementation of effective pedagogy, assessment, and curricula.

2nd Call for Papers:

Workshop within the conference
Analysing political communication: From theory to practice
(23-24 September 2016, Brașov)

For more than 20 years, scholars in various fields of research – political
sciences, history, sociology and linguistics – have devoted ample analyses to
political communication: political scientists have been mainly concerned with
the structure, changes and evolution of the Parliament as an institution or
with drawing parallels between different parliamentary systems. Linguistic,
discursive and/ or rhetorical features of parliamentary discourse have also
been investigated: parliamentary deliberative argumentation, parliamentary
question-response patterns or gender aspects in parliamentary debating styles.

The workshop puts forward a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach to
the study of political discourse as produced by a community of practice (Laver
and Wenger 1991), pursuing multiple linguistic perspectives.

Panel within the conference
Translation and Interpretation Studies: Converging worlds 
(23 September 2016, Brașov)

The dynamic nature of Translation and Interpreting Studies that we currently
witness derives to a considerable extent from their interdisciplinary
dimension. For a few decades now they have been intertwining with disciplines
pertaining to applied linguistics (corpus linguistics, sociolinguistics,
psycholinguistics, discourse analysis and pragmatics, cognitive linguistics,
etc.), but also with traditionally remote-standing ones, such as computer
science. Such partnerships among disciplines oftentimes entail the engagement
of a diversity of conceptual and methodological aspects in a converging
manner. There are undisputable mutual benefits of interdisciplinary approaches
for the disciplines in contact which are enriched with new insights and
perspectives in the theoretical realm. But novel methodologies have also
emerged in applied studies, opening paths for a wealth of more in-depth or new
types of investigations. 

The panel is especially dedicated to interdisciplinary concerns in Translation
and Interpreting Studies but welcomes papers on any topics within the
theoretical and applied areas of Translation and Interpreting Studies.
