Specialised discourse is shaped by the discursive practices of professional

group knowledge.

The aim of this seminar is to explore the generic structure, rhetorical
conventions and linguistic practices of various specialised discourses, such
as academic, technical, legal, as well as the emergence of new forms and
conventions under the influence of the use of English as the international
language of professional communication and the spread of new communication
technologies.

Seminar 03: Specialised discourse: Where from and whereto?

This seminar welcomes papers which address these issues from the perspective
of corpus analysis, discourse analysis and intercultural rhetoric in an

understand the reasons for similarities and differences in the way specialized
discourses vary across genres, disciplines and cultures.

The following topics are particularly invited:

- Emerging and transformed genres of specialized discourse
- Diachronic change in rhetorical conventions of specialized discourses
- Cross-disciplinary variation in specialized discourse
- Cross-cultural variation in specialized discourses
- Features and conventions of specialized discourse
- Changing features and conventions of specialized discourse under the
influence of new communication technologies
- Changing features and conventions of specialized discourse under the
influence of the use of English as the international language of professional
communication

presentations to both convenors (navratilova at ped.muni.cz;
maria.freddi at unipv.it) by 16 February 2018. Acceptance will be notified by 28
