Call Deadline: 01-May-2026

Call for Papers:
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.
The scientific community is invited to submit proposals for papers
(maximum: one individual paper + one co-authored paper) and posters,
aligned with one or more of the thematic lines suggested below.
Selected papers will be published in 2027 in the journal Diacrítica
(Scopus), from the Centre for Humanistic Studies of the University of
Minho (CEHUM), following the journal’s review and selection
procedures.
Suggested thematic lines:
- Face-to-face oral interactions
- Writing in everyday life
- The digital sphere — how discourses emerge, develop, and circulate
in digital spaces
Conference languages: Portuguese (with possible sessions in English,
French, and Spanish).
