As before, we hope to bring together researchers from e.g. discourse analysis, linguistic pragmatics, text studies and also ethnography, organizational studies or critical management studies for a small-scale, all-plenary interactive forum with a limited number of participants and plenty of time for discussion. As in our first edition, we will have a residential format. Invited Speakers: Charles Antaki and Hiromasa Tanaka Theme: Managing Trust Call for Papers We would appreciate contributions that make fine-grained analyses of real-life data to address the question of negotiating ''trust'' in discourse in more specific ways such as: -Studies that empirically address the question of 'trust' in organizational discourse -Process/product studies of ways in which mediated communication in specific organizations tries to generate trustworthiness and reliability -Studies of how communication is received/understood/evaluated as trustworthy, reliable (or untrustworthy and unreliable) and why -Analyses of the role of language(s), culture and/or discourse expectations in establishing and maintaining trust relationships in organizational settings. We invite contributions that study these and related issues in organizational contexts such as health care, social services, education, business, law, politics and journalism. Submissions are invited for 40-minute slots (including 20 minutes of discussion and question time). The workshop language is English. Please send your abstract of 500 words (detailing research question, method, data and preliminary conclusions) to katja.pelsmaekersua.ac.be and craig.rolloua.ac.be before 31 January 2011.
