Meeting Description:

37th Annual Conference of the Poetics and Linguistics Association, July 19-22,
2017, West Chester, PA.
 
Stylistics has been an interdisciplinary enterprise since its infancy,
emerging in the intersection between literary criticism and linguistics. 
M.A.K Halliday’s functionalist approach to the study of language led to the
expansion of the scope of stylistics so as to incorporate social-semiotic
concerns and methodologies and paved the way for a more context-sensitive
approach to meaning-making. Critical stylistics, feminist stylistics, and
pragmatic stylistics are some of the branches that emerged as a result of this
expansion, and the field has not stopped growing since. PALA 2017 aims to
investigate what interdisciplinarity currently means and invites papers that
push the boundaries of the field and address new challenges for stylistics and
its branches. We particularly invite papers that discuss how stylistics has
embraced cognitive, corpus, pedagogical, multimodal, and neuroscientific
methodologies to explore how (literary) texts work, in addition to welcoming
submissions from other relevant areas.

- Prof. Margaret Freeman, Myrifield Institute for Cognition and the Arts
