Directory         1.     Carlos Gouveia , 38th International Systemic Functional Congress Message 1: 38th International Systemic Functional Congress Date: 05-Jan-2011 From: Carlos Gouveia <carlos.gouveiafl.ul.pt> Subject: 38th International Systemic Functional Congress E-mail this message to a friend 38th International Systemic Functional Congress Short Title: ISFC38 Date: 25-Jul-2011 - 29-Jul-2011 Location: Lisbon, Portugal Contact: Carlos Gouveia Contact Email: isfc38fl.ul.pt Meeting URL: http://www.fl.ul.pt/unidades/institutos/ici/isfc38 Linguistic Field(s): Anthropological Linguistics; General Linguistics Meeting Description: The congress theme, Negotiating difference: languages, metalanguages, modalities, cultures, celebrates the rich and multifaceted nature of semiotic systems as research objects as well as the multilayered nature of the research and contributions to linguistics that are motivated by those semiotic systems. The theme also celebrates dialogue, plurality and mutual acquaintance by promoting not only intersections and interfaces involving different perspectives, trends and theoretical perceptions of research objects within systemic functional linguistics, but also associations and connections with theories and methodologies outside systemic functional linguistics. The theme therefore seeks to be broad and inclusive, inspiring the congress to embrace contributions that fall outside the scope promoted by previous ISFCs. In particular, it aims at building bridges, transcending frontiers and negotiating difference to include reflections, dialogues, partnerships and discussions with researchers working in other theories and methodologies but who share certain fundamental axioms with SFL. The congress will open formally the morning of Monday, July 25. Each day will include two plenary papers and a range of parallel sessions. Plenary speakers: Caroline Coffin, Open University, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom Frances Christie, Sydney University, Sydney, Australia James R. Martin, Sydney University, Sydney, Australia Jean-Paul Bronckart, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland Lachlan Mackenzie, Institute for Theoretical and Computational Linguistics, Lisbon, Portugal Mick O'Donnell, Autonomous University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain Orlando Vian, Jr., Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, Brazil Susan Hood, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia New!
