Meeting Description:

Workshop at the DGfS 2022
23–25 February 2022, University of Tübingen
Organizers: Julia Lukassek, Dina Serova, Britta Schulte (Humboldt-Universität
zu Berlin, CRC 1412)
Invited speakers: Sonja Zeman (LMU München), Monika Fludernik (Universität
Freiburg)

Narration as the linguistic reproduction of events is not restricted to
literary texts but is a mode of communication used in various situations of
linguistic action (i.e., in different registers, genres, text types or the
continuum between conceptually spoken and written language). Albeit not all
texts can be classified as narrative texts per se, many can contain narrative
passages or use narration as a mode to realize communicative functions or the
speakers’ intentions, cf. for example blog entries or interviews. From a
linguistic perspective, the features used in such situational contexts and for
said communicative functions are of great interest on the levels of
morphosyntax, lexis, semantics, and pragmatics. 

Linguistically relevant aspects of narration and narrativity have been
discussed extensively in literary studies (see narrative perspective resp.
focalisation, communication structure, relations in space and time, etc.
However, the analysis and operationalization of these features for linguistic
questions, e.g., in terms of corpus annotation and data extraction, is still
up to debate (cf. Engelberg, Fortmann & Rapp, 2019; Hübl & Steinbach, 2018;
Zeman, 2020). With our workshop, we would like to contribute to this
discourse.


Call for Papers:

 We invite contributions from the following subject areas and topics:
 - Narration in different modes (spoken, written)
 - Corpus linguistic modelling and annotation 
 - Interdependencies between extra-linguistic context and register
 - Narration and narrativity in transition (language contact, historical
stages of languages, synchrony/diachrony, varieties)
 - Linguistic features of narrative perspective resp. focalisation
 - Culture-dependent conceptualizations of narration

We welcome contributions by researchers who, as part of their linguistically
oriented research, deal intensively with narration and narrativity in texts of
various types and origins.

Abstract submission: 
Abstracts should not exceed one page (app. 300 words). Please send your
abstract to narrationdgfs2022 at gmail.com by 15 August, 2021. Notifications of
acceptance will be sent to you by 1 September, 2021. Feel free to use the
above contact email for questions regarding the workshop.

Please note that the regulations of the DGfS do not allow that workshop
participants present two or more papers in different workshops. Likewise,
organizers of other workshops at the same conference are not allowed to
present a paper in this workshop.
