EMILE INFO: CFP Enunciative theories today: Benveniste fifty years on./ Extended dead-line

[Christine Copy]

Call for papers: first and last extended dead-line

Les théories de l’énonciation : Benveniste après un demi-siècle /  
Enunciative theories : Benveniste fifty years on
Université Paris Est, Marne-La-Vallée, 24 & 25 novembre 2011

Call for papers: first and last extended dead-line, March 30th
Due to several last-minute requests, we have decided to postpone the  
submission dead-line by two weeks.
  More details about this international linguistics conference:
By adopting Benveniste as its central theme, the aim of this  
conference is to provide a platform to promote discussion by  
confronting different points of view on enunciation as a distinct way  
of posing and dealing with linguistic problems as opposed to other  
major current theoretical frameworks. One of the main objectives of  
this event is to consolidate the visibility of the enunciative  
approach and to encourage exchange between researchers who sometimes  
follow separate paths, be it for reasons of geographical dispersion or  
because of the diverse nature of their scientific specialties. It is  
therefore appears crucial to show that however diverse individual  
approaches may be, enunciative research remains the unifying objective  
of a common project and constitutes a scientific specificity which  
needs to be maintained over the long term. It is with the aim of  
finding a theme which transcends the diversity of approaches adopted  
by enunciativists that we launch this invitation to reflect on the  
work of Benveniste as the source of a specific way of doing linguistics.

- What tools, modes of reasoning and modes of representation are being  
used or developed today in order to bring out the enuciative  
properties of language or discourse phenomena?

- Does the enunciative approach tend to select certain types of  
research problem more than others, even to the extent of excluding them?

- To what extent is their continuity between the problems tackled by  
Benveniste and those which are being studied by enunciativists today?

Papers can be on any language and on any relevant subject – phonology,  
morphology, syntax, semantics, language acquisition, discourse  
analysis… However, it is essential that the epistemological and  
methodological questions raised be illustrated with reference to  
empirical observations.

Proposals (either in French or in English) should be sent as a Word  
document containing the title, a summary (maximum of one page) and  
short bibliography by the 14th March 2011 to:

Lionel Dufaye: dufaye at sfr.fr
Lucie Gournay: lucie.gournay at u-pec.fr

Each proposal will be evaluated anonymously by two members of the  
scientific committee.

Important dates:

Deadline for receipt of proposals: Monday 14th March 2011

Notification of acceptance: Monday 16th May 2011

Conference dates: Thursday 24th and Friday 25th November 2011

Presentations will last 30 minutes + 10 minutes for discussion.

The conference will take place at: Université Marne-La-Vallée, Cité  
Décartes. Precise details will be sent out nearer to the date of the  
conference.

The conference will take the form of thematic workshops (discourse  
approach, syntax, semantics, oral discourse…). There will also be four  
plenary lectures delivered by invited speakers:

Antoine Culioli, Valdir Flores, Henning Nolke, and Dominique  
Maingueneau.
