Linguistic Field(s): Discipline of Linguistics

Call Deadline: 16-Sep-2023

Meeting Description:

The CREA in Paris Nanterre University and the GReMLIN (research group
in linguistics) are happy to announce that the following conference
will be held in NAnterre University:

Although the concept of common ground permeates all branches of
linguistics, its definition, role and manifestations vary according to
the type of data observed and the theoretical framework used. The
issues particular to this complex notion lie in the articulation of
its two terms, common and ground.

⇨ Depending on the chosen theoretical framework, the term "ground"
can, in a broad sense, cover the familial, social, cultural or
historical context of discourse implementation (Clark 2015). It could
also encompass the shared knowledge of the world, or in a narrower
sense, notions of preconstruction (Culioli 1990; Talmy 1975, 2000),
anchoring, topicalization, and even references to a landmark or
location.
⇨ The term “common”, on the other hand, refers to the phenomenon of
community, whether real or virtual, constructed in speech or
pre-existing.  It can also refer to sharing as well as agreement and
expectation, norm and convention, stereotype, and thus of convergence
and divergence, of alignment, in relation to intersubjective
phenomena. The community can be based on different elements: shared
imaginary (Houdebine 1982), rituals (Hanks, W. F., & Bonhomme, J.
2009), or, according to the notion of pre-discourse (Paveau, M.-A.
2006), sharing of opinions, beliefs and knowledge.

The variety of possible French equivalents for the term “common
ground” (terrain d'entente, socle commun, point commun, base commune,
dénominateur commun, cadre commun, etc.) illustrates the wealth of
potential reflections and perspectives relating to this concept.

The 7th edition of the "Mapping Parameters of Meaning" conference aims
to define the conditions of emergence or disruption of the common
ground between speakers, and to study how this common ground, in turn,
conditions the linguistic phenomena that characterize the different
types of discourse studied.

Plenary speaker:
Laure Lansari, Université d’Amiens, France.

Maria Candea, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris, France

We welcome contributions from all areas of linguistics, whether they
focus on theoretical aspects or more methodological issues.
Presentations can include one or more of the following topics:
sociolinguistics and sociophonetics, pragmatics, interactional and
multimodal linguistics, first language acquisition, teaching and
learning of a foreign or second language
