[Rstlist] CALL FOR PAPERS - ASPECTS OF SPECIALISED GENRES

[Isaac Mwinlaaru]

Dear All,


See below a call for papers for a book project on genre studies. We will be
happy to receive contributions using RST. This will both be interesting and
a useful contribution to genre studies and RST since a cross-fertilization
of the two fields is almost absent in the literature.


Many thanks!

* CALL FOR PAPERS * (Extended Deadline)


*Aspects of Specialized Genres: Research and Applications *


*In memory of Professor Stephen Evans *


Over the past four decades, research in Language for Specific Purposes has
examined genres across languages and in a wide range of institutional and
professional contexts such as education, business and industry, law,
governance and diplomacy. While much of this research has been driven by
Swales’s framework of genre analysis, scholars have extended genre research
by drawing on different frameworks and approaches such as corpus
linguistics, systemic functional linguistics, cognitive linguistics,
critical genre analysis, ethnography and cultural studies, and
multimodality. The purpose of this volume is to provide a common platform
for original studies on various aspects of specialized genres using
different methods and frameworks and the application of genre studies in
professional settings. We particularly invite studies with
inter-disciplinary perspectives or combining traditional genre analysis
with new and innovative methods. We also welcome studies examining new
forms or varieties of specialized genres such as those in digital contexts.


We dedicate the volume to the memory of the late Professor Stephen Evans,
who was the Associate Editor of *Journal of English for Academic Purposes *and
Associate Head of the Department of English at The Hong Kong Polytechnic
University.


We call for abstracts not exceeding 250 words on one or more of the
following specific themes:


 *Lexico-grammatical studies on genres in academic and professional
settings *

 Structural and rhetorical studies on genres in academic and professional
setting

 Multimodal and digital studies of genres

 Pedagogy and other applications of genre studies

 Diachronic developments of genres

 *Genre processing, acquisition and production in academic and
professional contexts *


Referencing in abstracts should follow the current APA style. Authors
should send their abstracts to one of the following email addresses:
kathycarly920 at gmail.com or kathyll at sjtu.edu.cn 2


*Please note: The deadline for abstract submissions is December 15, 2017. *

The volume will be submitted to Routledge for consideration. Authors will
be invited to submit a full-length article after their abstracts have been
accepted.

Abstract submission deadline: *December 15, 2017 *

Full-length paper submission deadline: *April 30, 2018 *
