[CFP] SdC IWoDA’18 International Workshop on Discourse Analysis

Events

Sharing ideas, insights, case studies, tools, and methodologies in the area of Discourse Analysis

IWoDA is an international workshop jointly organized by the research groups SCIMITAR (University of Santiago de Compostela) and MuStE (University of A Coruña). Our main aim is to bring together scholars and researchers who will explore and analyze discourse from different perpectives (linguistic, cognitive, psychological/psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic, critical, literary, cultural, etc.). Plenary Speakers will provide case studies, tools and methodologies in plenary lectures and specialised workshops, which will upgrade the skills necessary for discourse analysis in different settings and for different purposes, thereby promoting life-long learning and encouraging synergies between academics.

The following Keynote Speakers have confirmed their participation (in alphabetical order)

The structure of IWoDA’18 includes hands-on Practical Sessions, in addition to Plenary and Parallel Sessions.
  • Marcus Callies (University of Bremen, Germany): Learner Corpus Research and the assessment of L2 proficiency: Current practice and challenges for the future
