Meeting Description: 

Questions pervade our daily lives, in conversation, service exchanges,
institutional activity and learning and cultural encounters of any kind.
Still, language sciences struggle to capture the complexities of what
questions are, and what we do with them.

This one-day symposium, hosted by the Language, Culture and Cognition research
group at Roskilde University, aims to bring together scholars from various
language disciplines with a common interest in furthering our understanding of
questions.

We welcome presentations from all areas of language studies addressing
empirical, descriptive, theoretical or foundational aspects of questions and
their uses.

Keynote Speakers:
Professor Tanya Stivers, University of California
Professor Dawn Archer, Manchester Metropolitan University
