Critical discourse analysts and theorists are not the only people involved in the articulation of critique in the public realm. Political debates typically consist of layers of meta-discourse. They are fundamentally discourse about discourse and could not exist without the reflexive features of articulatory practice. Many researchers in critical discourse studies focus on social and political debates related to issues such as class, migration, ecology, globalization, or economic crisis.

<p style="font-size: 120%; line-height: 150%;">Quantifying methods have been used to analyse language for almost a century. The interest in such methods has increased since the popularisation of computer technologies in the 1980s which has changed language practices on the one hand and the way these languages are studied by researchers on the other hand. In recent years this had a huge impact on the research landscape: numerous initiatives, platforms and projects have occurred under the label of digital humanities and big data.

Conference Theme

There is no teaching without media. But what do we know about decision-making processes on what is included in these media, how they are designed, and how they shape what future generations are to know about the world? Today’s schools are media-rich environments, from traditional paper textbooks to interactive digital textbooks and further media including open educational resources (OER). The increasing appearance of new educational technology in today’s classrooms makes it imperative to rethink classic questions about knowledge production in schools.

The Department of Language Mediation and Intercultural Communication and the Contemporary Asia Research Centre of the University of Milan are pleased to announce the organization of an
