Conference

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the panel (P04) "Agency and Strategy in Discursive Policy Analysis" at the 10th Interpretive Policy Analysis Conference (IPA), July 8-10, 2015 in Lille, France

The call is now open and paper proposals can be submitted through the conference website (http://ipa2015.sciencesconf.org ) until February 3, 2015.

Chairs and discussants: Georg Winkel & Sina Leipold (University of Freiburg)

Background and Project Description:
Over the past few decades, following a more general trend towards social rationalization, a growing Verwissenschaftlichung (“scientization”) of politics can be observed – that is, the ways in which science and quantitative measures increasingly come to define and shape politics. Today, empirics and evidence almost always accompany policy making, and quantification and the use of statistics have become increasingly central to the practice of contemporary politics.

This 8th edition of the NDLP conference series aims to respond to a surge of new research in pragmatics, with a view to bringing together the novel, empirically, experimentally and clinically based models, and classical topics/frameworks such as Gricean pragmatics, Speech Act Theory and presupposition. We encourage papers (re-)examining the semantics-pragmatics boundary, which has been sometimes blurred by the confrontation of the new and the traditional frameworks.

This is the call for papers for the 13th World Congress of Semiotics, to be held on June 26-30, 2017 at the International Semiotics Institute of Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania. The congress will take place in the premises of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities of the aforementioned university, in A. Mickevičiaus Street 37, Kaunas. THEME The theme of this edition of the congress is “Cross-Inter-Multi-Trans”, the focus being “relations”, “interactions”, “contaminations” in semiotic theories as well as social and biological processes.

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,

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 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.
