RJC 2009 - 2nd Call for Papers

[RJC ED268]

Doctoral
school 268 "Langage et Langues"

 

Rencontres
Jeunes Chercheurs - Paris III

May 29-30, 2009

 

Created
in 1998, the Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs (RJC) of the Doctoral School "Langue
and languages" (ED 268, Université de la Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris III) is
an opportunity for junior researchers preparing for a Master’s degree or a Doctorate,
but also for post-doctorates, to present their work  in paper or  poster
sessions.

This year, the theme
will be:

 

COTEXT,
CONTEXT, SITUATION

 

In
linguistics (and in many other fields of study such as sociology and
anthropology), the context is, a fundamental concept but what it means varies according
to the discipline and the theoretical and methodological orientations of the
researcher. RJC is an invitation for junior researchers to ponder upon the
plurality of the values of context and their applications in the language
sciences.

Presentations may follow four main lines of
reflection:

1.      The first line will let you review the way research in language sciences
develops the notions of "cotext", "context" and
"situation". You are invited to suggest or clarify a definition, to study
the three notions by confronting one of them with the others, or to offer a
critical view on the past and present scientific work (in particular on some
set definitions).

2.      The second line will be dedicated to the study of cotext, defined here
as all the linguistic units (phonemes, lexemes, morphemes, text, etc.) adjacent
to the studied linguistic unit. Any study, model or formalization treating cotext
in phonology, in morphology, in syntax, in semantics may be the object of a
study.

3.      In a pragmatic, enunciative and interactional perspective, presentations
 may deal with the notion of situation as
the frame of a statement, a dialogue, a speech, etc. – be it written or oral. Hypotheses may be formulated on the importance of
the situational or extra-linguistic context, on its motives and effects
(circumstances of a speech act, identity of the participants, the speaker’s
intentions, etc.). This third line also includes all the studies that delineate the
relevant clues used to understand or interpret a speech in situation.

4.     
Finally, the fourth line will concern
papers devoted to the development of the notion of context in a spatial and
socio-cultural approach. The way the regional or national context (i.e. in geo-linguistics,
dialectology, etc.) may be studied as well as the ideological, political and
social contexts influencing  linguistic performances.

will contain the following information, besides
the previous ones:  

Personal data (last
name, first name, e-mail and personal postal address)

(clarify the number of years for the doctorate) 

Research supervizor(s)

 

Only
one submission will be examined for each participant

 

The languages of oral presentations and posters will
