The 7th DA Symposium
DISCOURSE SYNERGIES: THE INTERPLAY OF LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY
November 18th 2011
The formulation and articulation of discourses in everyday interactions and institutional settings bring to light the many complexities involved in the development of interpersonal exchanges. People’s interactions with languages and cultures diverse from their own, in conjunction with the spread of global communication, are contributing to the process of re-creating ways of communicating with others.
Call for Papers
We would like to invite abstracts and proposals for papers in the area of discourse analysis that study and reflect upon the emergence, development and unfolding of discourse(s) within a dynamic multicultural world.
This Symposium welcomes research studies that utilise any of the approaches and tools to study discourse (i.e. interactional sociolinguistics, conversational analysis, pragmatics, etc.).
Manuscripts in the area of institutional discourse, intercultural communication, teaching practices in multicultural settings and others within the DA theme are welcomed.
Abstracts and proposals of no more than 250 words should be submitted by 9th September 2011. We expect to provide notification of acceptance by the first week of October 2011.
Abstracts should include:
- Title
- Author’s Full Name/Names
- Affiliations and Address

- A brief bionote (100 words)
- List of references (if required)
