Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis; Pragmatics

The research group Pragmatics. Discourse. Cognition (PraDiC), from the
Centre for Humanistic Studies of the University of Minho (CEHUM), will
organize an in-person international congress on Everyday Discourses on
July 9–10, 2026.
Everyday life is fundamentally made up of discourses. As beings of
language, discourse sustains social experience. It encompasses varied
ways of expression—oral, written, imagetic, and multimodal—typically
formed through brief interactions that are spontaneous and informal to
varying degrees, often shaped by routines that structure social life.
Discourses also express culture, identity, and ways of speaking a
language. While privileging oral interaction, everyday social life
also includes written exchanges, further expanded by the new
possibilities offered by social media. The Everyday Discourses
congress aims to explore how discourse manifests, is constructed, and
circulates in the daily life of societies.
In addition to plenary lectures, the congress will feature parallel
sessions with free communications and a poster session dedicated to
ongoing work by early-career researchers.
