Meeting Description:
Literary linguistics – that is, research
exploring the interface of two academic fields
all too often deemed irreconcilable – has
enjoyed renewed popularity in recent years, as
a growing number of scholars have come to
acknowledge the value of this kind of
interdisciplinary endeavour. The aim of this
conference is to take stock of the scholarly
work conjoining linguistics and literary
studies, identify current research interests
and point out possible future directions of the
field.
Keynote Speakers:
Nigel Fabb (Strathclyde)
Johanna Laakso (Vienna)
Deirdre Wilson (UCL)
2nd Call for Papers:
Inaugural Conference of the International
Association of Literary Linguistics
Research Agendas in Literary Linguistics
Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, 15-17
April 2015
The organisers invite proposals for 20-min
papers addressing the conference’s special
topic. They may cover (but are not limited to)
issues such as the following: Cognitive
processes in language processing, comprehension
and literary form; foundations of metaphor,
metonymy, irony and related figures of speech;
modern theoretical approaches to argumentation
and comprehension in relation to traditional
concerns of rhetoric; cognitive, aesthetic and
emotive impacts of figures of speech and style;
appraisal, intertextuality and dialogism.
More recently, the rise of multilingualism in
the wake of globalization has given the study
of multilingualism more prominence. Increasing
multilingualism surely affects literary
productions of multilingual societies. In
addition to the general topics outlined above,
we therefore invite contributions to the study
of multilingualism in literature. This topic
will also be discussed at the conference
Multilingualism in Baltic-Sea Europe, to be
held in Mainz 13-15 April 2015 (
