Approaches to Literature. It is currently under construction. If you have
suggestions about material we might include, please give them to a member
of the Executive Committee.
2000 CALL FOR PAPERS
The Division of Linguistic Approaches to Literature invites proposals for three division-sponsored sessions at the 2000 MLA convention. I.
Signed language and literature
Linguistic approaches to signed literature, as well as literary
representations of signing. Papers should be intelligible to non-signers.
250-word abstracts to Don Freeman, dfreeman@mizar.usc.edu, by March 10.
II. Discourse constructions in diverse media.
Linguistic discourse-based approaches to media other than the printed page
(e.g. film, performance, internet, documentaries) especially welcome.
250-word abstracts to Don Freeman, dfreeman@mizar.usc.edu, by March 10.
III. Linguistic approaches in the classroom.
Suggested topics: using linguistics to teach critical reading, linguistic
approaches and interdisciplinarity, linguistic approaches and cultural
studies. Other topics also welcome. 250-word abstracts to Don Freeman, dfreeman@mizar.usc.edu, by
March 10.
