Meeting Description:

2nd International UCM Predoctoral Conference on English Linguistics (UPCEL)ː
Language in Society

Facultad de Filología
Universidad Complutense - Madrid

The organising committee of the 2nd International UCM Predoctoral Conference
on English Linguistics (UPCEL) are pleased to invite predoctoral students in
English Linguistics programmes, including both PhD and Master's degree
students, to participate in our second instantiation, which will be held on
September 20, 21 and 22, 2017 at the Facultad de Filología, Universidad
Complutense de Madrid. This conference is organised by the PhD Programme in
English Linguistics of UCM, which has consistently maintained an Excellence
Distinction by the Spanish Ministry of Education since 2004.

This conference intends to involve people from different fields who wish to
share a common purpose and create an interdisciplinary space of solidarity and
community; its objective is not only to show the crucial role of language in
society, but also to be a meeting point where people working in diverse areas
can collaborate. Therefore, this year's edition will serve as a forum for
sharing and discussing topics related to English linguistics, especially
welcoming contributions addressing social aspects and issues and how
linguistics intertwines with them.

Confirmed Plenary Speakersː

Dr. Yolanda Joy Calvo Benzies (Universidad de las Islas Baleares)
Dr. Antonio García Gómez (Universidad de Alcalá)
Dr. Marco Tamburelli (Bangor University)
