Meeting Description:

You are warmly invited to attend the 9th international conference on
Discourse, Communication and the Enterprise at Aston University, Birmingham,
on 22-24 June 2017.

Following a series of successful conferences (Lisbon 2001, Vigo 2003, Rio de
Janeiro 2005, Nottingham 2007, Milan 2009, Hong Kong 2011, Beijing 2013 and
Naples 2015), the focus of the 2017 conference is “From Theory to
Application”.  It aims to encourage scholars to think about ways their
research can inform practice, either by offering a lens for the critical
exploration of organizational processes or by cultivating effective
communication practice(s). More information, including how to submit papers,
can be found at www.aston.ac.uk/dicoen9.

Call for Papers: 

The Discourse, Communication and Enterprise (DICOEN) conference series aims to
promote and foster interaction between those interested in discourse and
communication in organisational settings. 

The link between communication, language and the professional world has now
become more prevalent than ever before. Linguistic awareness and communication
skills are much needed in business, but also in healthcare, in legal settings,
in for-profit and non-profit organisations, and in all areas or organisational
life, from leadership and management to public relations and social media. 

Research addressing discourse, communication and the role of language in
organizational contexts is burgeoning - but it is scattered across a range of
disciplines.  Remaining within the confines of the various scholarly
traditions has two major implications, however. Firstly, it prevents the
cross-fertilisation of ideas, and prevents research from gaining full
momentum. Secondly, it prevents the scholarly developments and research
findings to make their way into teaching and training, whether it concerns
communication in the professions, business communication or management
curricula.

Therefore, DICOEN9 aims to bring together academics, practitioners and
professionals, and provide them with a shared forum to: 

- Enable the convergence of ideas from a range of academic disciplines
(including, but not limited to organizational and management studies,
discourse analysis, communication studies, teacher education, forensic
linguistics, social psychology, anthropology) and professional practice from
marketing and branding to HR, from professional communication training to
business language education and ESP.
- Encourage scholars to articulate the functional aspect of their research:
for example how it can lead to the (teaching of the) critique of social
processes, or how it can be utilised for the cultivation of good communication
practice(s).

We invite 20-minute presentations and panel discussions both from academics
interested in professional, business and organizational communication and
discourse research, as well as professionals and practitioners to share their
relevant language/communication experiences. 

Abstracts which address the conference theme will be particularly welcome.

The EasyChair site for DICOEN9 can be reached by going to the conference
