Meeting Description:

This is the sixth international conference on historical news discourse
(CHINED). The varieties of genre within news language have enabled it to
retain a vitality which has kept readers interested in consuming the products
of printed news for centuries. Beyond providing variety of representation,
genre is a highly social, even ideological category. It is an integral aspect
of the compact between writer and reader of news. Readers not only know what
to expect within different news genres but beyond this they are enabled to
locate themselves within a wide range of social and political contexts.
Different generic strategies within news discourse draw particular social
groups into historically specific styles of representation.  Contributions are
therefore invited which explore the specific linguistic construction of genre
in news language 1641 – 1945.


Call for Papers:

21-23 June 2017, University of Sheffield

Contributions are invited which explore the specific linguistic construction
of genre in news language 1641 – 1945.

Of particular interest are class and gendered aspects to genre:

- Political reporting
- Fashion writing
- Advocacy journalism
- Sports reporting
- Letter writing
- Leading articles
- War reporting
- Financial news
- ‘Hard’ news
- Crime news
- Broadsheets and pamphlets
- Radical press
- Poetry as news
- Metaphor in the news

Although there is a concentration of work in the English language
presentations of work on news discourse in other languages are welcome. We
encourage a wide range of methodological approaches including discourse,
pragmatic, content analysis or stylistic, sociolinguistic approaches.

Proposals of up to 500 words are invited for papers of 20 minutes which
address an aspect or aspects of genre in historical news discourse. Please
email your proposal to mtang5 at sheffield.ac.uk by 31 January 2017. 

As in the past, it is envisaged that the conference will lead to the
publication of a high-quality volume of essays.
