Dear Colleagues,
We are proposing a panel on the theme of ''Lexical Contrast in Discourse'' for the International Pragmatics Conference in Göteborg, Sweden in July 2007, and are thus interested in hearing from other people working on related topics who might be interested in presenting at this panel. The organisers of the panel have recently been researching the use of antonyms in discourse (in English and Swedish), but we define 'lexical contrast' broadly and would be interested in hearing about research related to:
- functions of antonyms/lexical opposition in discourse - the contexts/constructions that coerce opposite readings in word pairs(e.g. synonyms, hyponyms, incompatibles) - discourse properties of using morphological antonyms vs. lexical antonyms vs. syntactic negation - cross-linguistic/cross-cultural studies - methodological/technological innovations in studying contrast in discourse
If interested, please send a brief summary of the work you would want to present in such a panel ann.verhaertipra.be by the end of June 2006.
