Meeting Description:

The PLIN Linguistic Day is a biennial one-day thematic conference
organised by the Linguistics Research Unit (PLIN) of the Language and
Communication Institute (IL&C) at UCLouvain (Louvain-la-Neuve,
Belgium). Over the years, the conference has established itself as an
international forum for the exchange of ideas among scholars and has
brought together researchers from all over the world.

The 2025 PLIN Linguistic Day will take place on 18 April 2025 and will
be devoted to “Genre-based approaches to academic and specialized
languages: from analysis to pedagogy”. This day aims to provide an
overview of various recent approaches based on the concept of genre
(also addressed from the perspective of "register studies" in the
English linguistic tradition) and to offer researchers, academics and
(PhD) students an excellent opportunity to share and discuss
recent/cutting-edge genre-related research.

Four experts will deliver keynote lectures on genre-related
approaches:
 • Bethany Gray (Iowa State University)
   Introduction to genre and register studies
 • Charlene Polio (Michigan State University)
   Genre in writing pedagogy
 • Mable Chan (Hong Kong Polytechnic University)
   Genre analysis and persuasive business discourse
 • Serge Sharoff (University of Leeds)
   Automatic genre annotation for the web

In addition to the keynote lectures, a poster session will be
organised to make it possible for participants to present their most
recent genre-related research or work in progress and to interact with
the keynote speakers and other participants.
