Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis

Meeting Description:

We would like to kindly invite you to save the date for the upcoming International Conference on ”Discourse Markers – Theories and Methods” which will take place in Paris, France on the 24-26th of May 2023. The conference focuses on the impact of theory and method on the investigation of discourse markers, and vice versa. In particular, we wish to foster discussion and reflections on the sometimes implicit or unconscious theoretical choices that we make and their impact on data analysis. Conversely, some methods and data types may restrict or at least favor a particular theoretical perspective at the expense of others. Another important question is then: what can DM research bring, in return, to our knowledge of particular theories and methods?

Confirmed plenary speakers are Prof. Yael Maschler and Prof. Gunther Kaltenböck. The conference will also include practical sessions on specific frameworks of analysis, facilitated by Prof. Liesbeth Degand and Prof. Graham Ranger.
More information and the call for papers will follow soon.
We look forward to seeing you there.
