Meeting Description:

The Department of English Language and Literature, Faculty of Education,
Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic is happy to announce The Ninth Brno
Conference on Linguistics Studies in English, which will be held in Brno on
16-17 September 2021. 
 
Since the covid pandemic still continues and prevents international travel, we
have decided to switch to a fully on-line format of the conference. We hope
that despite the change of format the conference will allow us all to present
our on-going research, exchange ideas, see friends and create a feeling of
normality. 

The Ninth Brno Conference will focus on patterns and variation in English
language discourse in an attempt to extend our understanding of language as a
social, contextually bound phenomenon. The aim is to explore how patterning
and variation in texts and discourses is shaped by the communicative needs,
the topic at hand, the medium employed and the intended audience. We hope that
the contributions will map new trends in the study of discourse characterised
by the alliance of corpus and discourse analysis, multimedia studies,
intercultural rhetoric and cross-linguistic studies.

We particularly welcome papers and posters in the following areas:
 - corpus-based and corpus-driven analysis of English language discourse
 - multimedia genres
 - pragmatics of English language discourse 
 - diachronic changes in English language discourses
 - variation across disciplines, genres and cultures
 - patterns and variation in specialised discourses (e.g. academic, media,
political, learner)
 - English as a lingua franca
 - covid and English language discourse

We are pleased to announce that the following keynote speakers have confirmed
their participation at the conference:
 - Marina Bondi, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy
 - Carmen Peréz-Llantada, University of Zaragoza, Spain
 - Jarmila Tárnyiková, Olomouc University, Czech Republic

The conference language is English.


Second Call for Papers: 

Online session format: 
Presentations will be allocated 15 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion.
Posters will be displayed in a special session and presenters will be given 5
minutes to present their work.

If you wish to attend the conference, please complete the Online Registration
Form on the website by 30 April 2021. If you wish to present a paper or a
poster, please indicate the title on the registration form and include an
abstract of 200-250 words specifying the scope of research and the methods and
data applied. Participants will be notified of acceptance by 15 June 2021.
