Conference focus / Objetivo del congreso:
The general aim of this conference is to bring together researchers of discourse
analysis, textual data mining and information retrieval working in different
theoretical and methodological frameworks.
Mapping Language Across Cultures: Textual Analysis in Cross-Cultural and
Intercultural Communication is an interdisciplinary conference combining
Discourse Analysis approaches, computational linguistics, sequential analysis
and contrastive cross-cultural approaches.
Call for Papers
Main themes of the Conference
The recent development of analytical tools and methodologies applied to textual
analysis stands as a turning point in the fields of Applied Linguistics,
Translation and Interpreting Studies and Information Sciences. There has been,
in recent years, an exponential growth of technological and empirically-oriented
studies of language with clear areas of convergence with other fields.
In their wake, the goal of this Conference is to serve as a starting point for
an integrating approach that may open intercultural studies of language to new
technologies and applications, while complementing computational linguistics and
network theory with a multidimensional approach to the complexity of texts.
The Conference aims to examine, among others:
- The need to analyse and compare and identify regularities in an
ever-increasing quantity of texts (corpora analyses)
- The development of artificial intelligence tools applied to information
retrieval, keyword generation, automatic summary generation, semantic
disambiguation, computer-assisted translation and automatised translation
- The development of a discourse analysis methodology in order to search and
identify regularities and meaningful patterns in texts, at all levels
(syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and ideological levels)
- The development of new theoretical frameworks where signifying systems are
seen as constituting networks (network theory), as those developed in fields
where sequential analyses are essential, such as those developed in
computational biology and related fields.
Thematic strands / Áreas temáticas:
- Semantic networking in texts: network theory applications. Redes semánticas en
los textos: aplicaciones de las teorías de redes.
- Meaningful patterns in text. Patrones significativos en el texto.
- Automatic recognition of meaningful patterns in text. Reconocimiento
automático de patrones significativos en el texto.
- Pragmalinguistic and constructional models. Modelos pragmalingüísticos y
construccionales.
- Formal approaches to argumentation, narrative and ideology in texts. Enfoques
formales sobre la argumentación, la narrativa y la ideología en los textos.
- Teaching and learning intercultural competence through text. Enseñanza y
aprendizaje de la competencia intercultural mediante textos.
Contributions are accepted for papers (20 min. long plus 10 min. for
