Final Call for Papers: 

The members of the research project Es.Var.Atenuación, the Val.Es.Co. research
group, the Department of Spanish Philology and the Interuniversity Institute
of Applied Modern Languages of Valencia (IULMA) of the University of Valencia,
will hold their first International Conference on Linguistic Attenuation:
Semantic and Pragmatic Perspectives between June 15 and June 18, 2016. The
conference responds to the organisers’ awareness of the necessity to share the
latest research on linguistic variation in the use of attenuation. The
conference aims to constitute a discussion forum for scholars, students and
anyone interested in analysing linguistic attenuation from semantic or
pragmatic perspectives.

We welcome contributions that shed light on phenomena associated to linguistic
attenuation. Especially, we welcome studies that reveal formal and functional
patterns of attenuation in a range of diatopic and diaphasic varieties of
Spanish, more specifically: 

- Vague language phenomena
- Aproximation mechanisms
- Phonic and prosodic phenomena related to attenuation
- Diatopic, diastratic and diaphasic variation in the use of attenuation
- Researching attenuation: methodological issues and solutions 
- Linguistic phenomena in the attenuation-evidentiality interface

conference website: http://esvaratenuacion.es/congreso. The deadline for

of proposals will be communicated by the Scientific Committee by February 26,

in the proposal. The duration of presentations will be 20 minutes, with an
additional 10 minutes for questions. Presentations will be grouped in thematic
