Meeting Description:

Systemic Functional Linguistics: Power and Empowerment

Call for Papers:

Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) strives to stand as a powerful theory
capable of explaining  how language works and how it is being used to fulfill
experiential and social functions, meeting, thus,  the need for “more powerful
and abstract theories of experience” (Webster, 2004, p. vii).
The power of SFL theory is in its flexible applicability and its rich
descriptive resources which are  deployed not only to explain how meaning is
created, negotiated, and structured in different social  contexts but also how
these descriptions can be used in pedagogical settings. Indeed, researchers
from  different fields have been empowered by the SFL theoretical model and
methodological toolkits.  Thus, research fields like discourse analysis,
language learning and teaching, translation, natural  language processing, and
other professional fields such as business, media and healthcare 
communication often draw on SFL theory in their research and practices.
While providing “theoretical and descriptive resources to empower researchers
to undertake projects of investigation and intervention in many contexts”
(Matthiessen, 2013, p. 437), SFL has also been empowered by research
undertaken in these contexts. Such an interaction has enabled  researchers and
practitioners in SFL and other disciplines to take advantage of the various
tools and  taxonomies offered by the theory. Yet, at the same time, it has
made them contribute, whether directly or indirectly, to its development and
refinement.

The 48th International Systemic Functional Congress aims to bring together
researchers and academics to discuss and reflect on the concepts of language,
power and empowerment and their relation to SFL theory. The Congress seeks to
explore how SFL has empowered and been empowered  by various fields of study
and welcomes contributions in the form of paper presentations, colloquia, 
workshops and posters pertaining, but not restricted, to the following themes:

SFL, the power of language, and the language of power
SFL as an empowering theory of language
Research and professional fields that have empowered SFL
SFL and L2 Teaching and Learning
SFL and EAP/ESP
SFL and (digital) Communication (medical, business, political, etc.)
SFL, Translation and Multilingual Studies
SFL, Computational Linguistics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence
