Call for Papers:

The research community Comparing and Contrasting Languages and Cultures
(CoCoLaC) of the University of Helsinki is hosting a colloquium on affect in
language on Friday, February 2, 2018. We invite 20-minute presentations in
English addressing affect in language from a wide variety of perspectives.

We welcome both theoretical reflections and empirical studies of spoken,
written, bodily, and multimodal communication. Potential research questions
include (but are not limited to) the following:

- What is the role of affect in contemporary linguistics and adjacent fields?
- Which theories or methods are useful in conceptualizing affect in language
use?
- How does modern communication technology contribute either to communicating
affect or analyzing affect-related phenomena?
- How do accounts of affect focusing on individual subjectivities differ from
intersubjective approaches?
- What are the links between affect and empathy, ethos, or pathos?
- What are the characteristics of affect in multilingual settings?
- To what extent is the expression of affect culturally and linguistically
dependent?
- How does the expression of affect differ between institutional and everyday
language use?
- What are the particularities of expressing affect in a second/foreign
language?

We invite authors to submit their abstract (max. 300 words including
references) in Word or RTF format to tuuli.holttinen at helsinki.fi by October
31, 2017. In the body of your message, please indicate your name and
affiliation. Do not include this information in your abstract. The results of
the peer-review process will be communicated by November 15, 2017.
