Conference

The academic fraternity world over is preoccupied with various ways of understanding language, literature and culture. In addition to their interrelations and interdependence, the new ideas and approaches pouring from various disciplines like literary theory, philosophy, anthropology, linguistics, pragmatics and discourse analysis alongside technological revolution and socio-cultural transformations, have a bearing on our perception of language and literature.

Konferencja poświęcona jest słowom-kluczom w dyskursie publicznym oraz metodom ich wybierania. Ta tematyka łączy różne metodologie oraz poziomy analizy języka i dyskursu, w tym:
* statystykę językoznawczą,
* językoznawstwo korpusowe i inżynierię lingwistyczną,
* mediolingwistykę,
* analizę dyskursu,
* lingwistykę kulturową i międzykulturową,
* leksykologię i leksykografię.

This year's theme is Bridging Gaps, and with this in mind, we welcome paper submissions and workshops on research projects that focus on a linguistic inquiry, especially where different branches of linguistics are being brought together. The confirmed plenary speakers are: Prof. Susan Hunston (University of Birmingham) and: Prof. Svenja Adolphs (Nottingham University)

The conference track will follow the development of thinking of and talking about bodies doing things and creating meaning, through individual and historical lifecycles experienced in broad medical contexts. Thus, “bodily beings” are differently constituted in medical schools, hospitals and surgeries, research labs and everyday living environments, viewed through and connected to mechanical and electronic appliances, inscribed with biomedical discourses and socio-culturally based roles, such as gender, sex, race, impairment.
