Topics and Methodology:
Papers are invited on substantial, original, and unpublished research on

including, but not limited to, the following:
- difference between discourse functions and forms
- terminological issues (discourse - dialogue - conversation, discourse -
register - genre, etc.)
- narrative and informative discourse
- analysis of authentic dialogues, reconstruction of dialogue models, taxonomy
of dialogues, multidimensional analysis of discourse
- communicative strategies (aims and goals, persuasive actions, usage of
figurative means, rhetorical structure of different sorts of dialogues, etc.)
- organization of discourse / dialogue (constitutive elements of dialogue,
identification of structural units in discourse, dialogical sequences, analysis
of rhetorical segments (moves, steps) in different sorts of discourse, routine,
creativity, etc.)
- dialogue as social contact (small talk, interpersonal relationship and image
of interlocutors, etc.)
- linguistic aspects (semantics, lexicon, grammar, prosody, interaction of
verbal and nonverbal elements)
- discourse and institutions (public institutions, court, police, school,
church, military, government, media, politics, etc.)
- analysis of the discourse structure of specialized areas
- science and technology discourse
- multimodality
- interdiscoursiveness
- linguistic analysis of literary dialogues
- dialogue and communicative competence in the teaching of native and foreign
languages (the development of the dialogic competence in schools, analysis and
therapy of dysfunctions, dialogue in the function of testing the communicative
competence etc.)
- discourse competence (discourse competence as part of communicative
competence, development of discourse competence, testing and evaluation of
discourse competence, etc.)
- analysis of structure and organisation of discourse from a corpuslinguistic
perspective:
Corpus approaches to investigating lexical, grammatical and stylistic
characteristics of discourse (e.g. anaphor, sentence structure, pragmatic
functions, variability, vocabulary?)
Corpus approaches to research on special professional discourse varieties and
registers: legal, economic, academic, etc.
Building specialized corpora for discourse analysis
Corpus and context
Corpus analysis of discourse characteristics of scientific papers and journals
from different science areas
Other corpus issues in discourse research (oral vs. written dialogues,
transcripts of authentic dialogues, etc.)
The topics can be discussed from one or several perspectives:
contrastive
descriptive
pragmatic
socio-linguistic
psycho-linguistic
typological
diachronic
philosophical-linguistic
acquisitional and FLT

Apart from the plenary key-note speeches, the conference programme will consist

question-and-answer session) and a poster session.
