Meeting Description:

The CoRReA (Collectif Romand de Recherche en Argumentation – Universities of Fribourg, Lausanne and Neuchâtel) in collaboration with the Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI), organises every three years, since 2015, a conference devoted to the topic of argumentation, approached from the perspective of the language sciences. The 2015 edition of this bilingual international conference was held in Lausanne, the 2018 edition in Lugano, and the 2021 edition in Neuchâtel. The 4th edition of the conference will take place in Fribourg, Switzerland.

2nd Call for Papers:

Types of contributions. ARGAGE2024 invites 2 types of original contributions
1) Individual presentation
Individual presentations will last 20 minutes, followed by a 5-minute question session. Contributors are required to link their submission with one or two of the conference themes, as described above. Abstracts should not be more than 400 words and must:
i. clearly state the research question
ii. include a brief description of the theoretical framework and of the methodology adopted by the author and
iii. highlight the originality of the proposal

The submission deadline for individual presentation abstracts is 31 October 2023

2) Panel
Panels are 2 hour long thematic sessions. They are divided in three 30-minute presentations and are followed by a 30-minute discussion slot (to take place at the end of the panel or in its course). Panel convenors are responsible for the organisation of both the thematic coherence and the practical organisation and internal scheduling of the panel in order to ensure that it fits the general orientation of the conference. Panel proposals will contain a general description and the abstracts of the three papers to be presented.
The general description of the panel and the abstracts should not exceed 400 words each. As for individual presentations, they must:
i. clearly state the research question
ii. include a brief description of the theoretical framework and of the methodology adopted by the authors and
iii. highlight the originality of the proposal.

The submission deadline for Panel proposals is 30 September 2023

Submission procedure. Please submit your anonymised abstracts on the Easychair platform (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=argage2024) by the deadline according to your type of contribution (individual paper vs. panel).

Languages. The conference “Argumentation and Language” encourages scientific exchanges between French and English speaking scholars. In this spirit, we want to offer you the possibility of presenting your paper in one language and to prepare supporting material (handouts or visual presentation) in the other language. Please let us know upon submission if this is indeed an option for you.
