Meeting Description:
The Tenth Brno Conference will focus on studies of the English language as a multifaceted, multidimensional and variable phenomenon. Aspects of the language, such as the form, structure, meaning, function and context work together to meet peopleʼs communicative needs, and the message, medium employed, audience and culture complete the parameters of a communicative situation. We understand the combining of various perspectives and drawing on the tools characteristic of various linguistic disciplines as a necessary condition of contemporary linguistic research.

The Department of English Language and Literature, Faculty of Education, Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic is pleased to announce The Tenth Brno Conference on Linguistics Studies in English, which will be held in Brno on 4-5 September 2023.
The Tenth Brno Conference will focus on studies of the English language as a multifaceted, multidimensional and variable phenomenon. Aspects of the language, such as the form, structure, meaning, function and context work together to meet peopleʼs communicative needs, and the message, medium employed, audience and culture complete the parameters of
a communicative situation. We understand the combining of various perspectives and drawing on the tools characteristic of various linguistic disciplines as a necessary condition of contemporary linguistic research.
We believe that the contributions will reflect this variety of language dimensions, as well as plenitude of research approaches which manifest current developments in the study of language.
We particularly welcome papers and posters with the following foci:
- corpus-based analysis of English language discourse
- cross-cultural and cross-linguistic research
- study of multimedia genres and new trends in communication

- English as a global/international language
- mind, cognition and language
