Meeting Description

The Society for Text & Discourse will hold its Seventeenth Annual Meeting at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK, Sunday through Wednesday, July 8-11, 2007. The Society for Text & Discourse is an international society of researchers who investigate all aspects of discourse processing and analysis. The purpose of the society is to consolidate research in discourse processing, to enhance communication among researchers in different disciplines, and to contribute to the education and professional development of those in the field or entering the field. Therefore, we invite scholars from various disciplines (e.g., psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, education, sociology, anthropology, communications, philosophy, and poetics) to attend and participate in the annual meeting. We invite individual papers, posters, and suggestions for symposia (see below for details).
