Call for papers : RJC 2009 - Paris 3 / May 2009

[rjced268]

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.

Propositions are to be sent to the Organization Committee by e-mail
(rjc.paris3 at gmail.com), in the .rtf format. They should be sent twice:

"anon_SMITH_rjc2009.rtf") and will contain:
Title 
Fiel(s) ofresearch
Line in which the paper or poster proposal applies
5 keywords 
A summary 

The second named "NAME_rjc2009.rtf" (for example
"JOHNSON_rjc2009.rtf") will contain the following information, besides
the previous ones:  
Personal data (last name, first name, e-mail and personal postal address)
Level of studies (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 be English or
French. The duration of oral presentations  will 20 minutes + 10
minutes for questions. Before the display of posters, each author will
be invited to present their work in a short oral presentation (5 min.).
