Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis; General Linguistics; Pragmatics; Sociolinguistics
Call Deadline: 01-Dec-2019
Meeting Description:
The aim of the conference is to convene scholars from a wide range of
disciplines, interested, broadly speaking, in the rich and heterogeneous but
thus yet to become better demarcated area of intersection of
language/discourse and the political sphere (i.e. politics, both in its
institutionalized and everyday dimensions). The general purpose is to explore
and deepen ways of analyzing language as a political instrument, a political
theme, and a political domain.
The special theme of the 2020 conference will be ''The Brexit Effect. Critical
Linguistic Insights into Prospects for European (Dis-)integration''. We invite
papers examining political and public discourses involving / dealing with the
so-called ‘Brexit effect’ – its social, political, economic, cultural, etc.,
consequences – including newly evolving pro- and anti-EU positions and
discourses in various European countries triggered by the Brexit decision and
Brexit procedure.
Apart from this special theme, the conference will address the following
issues:
- the use of language in political rhetoric, advertising, media discourse,
propaganda, persuasion, populism, etc.;
- language and processes of ideological symbolization; including folk
linguistic ideologies, normative use of language and language-based
reproduction of ideologies;
- language of the state, viz. language policies and language planning at
various stages of the information flow, including the art of document design
and press releases;
- rhetoric of political systems and political changes;
- language of political institutions;
- linguistic thought (its development and directions) in the light of past and
present political transformations;
- politics in language pedagogy;
- societal multilingualism, linguistic pluralism and linguistic minority
policies;
- language change and variation in political discourse: transformations at the
lexical (terminology, neologisms, semantic shifts), morpho-syntactic, and
text/discourse-pragmatic levels; language contact in the political domain:
borrowing processes, style-shifting, code-mixing;
- globalisation of political discourse: homogenisation of social and
linguistic knowledge in the political milieu; hybridisation of
generic/discursive structures, text types, and interactive strategies across
languages and cultures; mulitimodality and unification patterns in political
communication;
- historical/diachronic transformations in political genres;
- intertextuality and mediation in political communication;
- axiological aspects of political discourses (valuation in political texts);
- language attitude research: social attitudes to political discourse(s);
- literary reflections of political communication;
- translating/interpreting the language of politics;
- directions in language training of politicians.
