Call Deadline: 01-May-2005

Meeting Description:

The workshop will bring together a number of selected researchers from discourse
analysis, linguistic pragmatics and text studies to exchange information and
learn from each other in the area of discourse in organizations, including
business, government and media.

We invite contributions on one of the following three topics:
- writing processes in organizations (such as press releases and business reports)
- spoken interaction in organizations (such as presentations and meetings)
- teaching and learning perspectives on writing processes and spoken interaction
in organizations

In particular, the workshop is meant to provide a platform for empirical work
that takes into account the organizational setting of discursive practices, for
example by taking an ethnographic perspective on the data.

We also welcome junior researchers who are preparing a PhD to present their work
in progress.

Accepted papers will be made available in a proceedings format before the start
of the workshop.

All presentations will be in plenary sessions.

After the workshop, a selection of papers will be published in one or more
separate volumes.

Keynote speakers
Mirjaliisa Charles, Helsinki School of Economics and Business Adm.
Piotr Čap, Institute of English, University of Łódź

Extended abstract deadline: 1 May 2005.
