This year's theme is: Discourse Synergies: The Interplay of Language and Cultural Diversity 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: Abstracts and proposals for presentations are being sought in areas including: - Communicating with culturally and linguistically diverse speakers (e.g. face to face communication) - Communicating between institutional cultures (e.g. legal discourse, medical discourse, educational discourse vs. non-institutional discourse) - Communicating between diverse age groups (e.g. seniors and young people) - Communicating with virtual 'friends' (e.g. face book/twitter etc.) - Communication between/among different mass media (e.g. news, radio programs, TV) - Communication through intertextuality (e.g. medical discourse entering computer technology) Proposals for presentations outside these areas will also be considered.
