phil.tu-chemnitz.de>CALL FOR PAPERS - GAL - 2002, COLOGNE, GERMANY, September 19-21, 2002 Contrastive Linguistics and Intercultural Communication The theme of Section 9 of the GAL (German Applied Linguistics) Meeting 2002 will be: Contrasts of/Contrasting intra- & intercultures in business communication - linguistic and semiotic realisations. The international business world relies on successful and efficient communication processes, whether realised in face-to-face interactions or through other media. However, there is growing awareness of the challenges posed to international business by linguistic/pragmatic 'failures' in communication between and across cultures. Intercultural business communication offers a wide field of research for applied linguists, with important opportunities for not only improving business practice, but also for carrying the results of research into the practices of communication training and foreign language teaching. In addition to this theme, Section 9 will include a workshop (Arbeitskreis) to continue discussion on the 2001 theme, Multimodality and Multimediality. Multimodal semiosis, involving combinations of, for example, text, image, sound - potentially drawing on combinations of different media for communication, such as photography, film, print, internet - poses a range of challenges to applied linguists, both in terms of theory and methodology for analysis. Papers for the Arbeitskreis may embrace the main theme of business communication, but papers dealing with multimodality/multimedialtiy in other fields will also be considered. The organisers invite interested participants to submit abstracts for Section 9 (Business Language) or the Workshop (Multimodality and Multimediality). While the organisers are not able to support the participants' travel or accommodation costs, we can provide supporting letters for funding applications. Abstracts of 150-200 words long should be sent to both of the e-mail addresses below by 15th April 2002.
