Call for Papers:
Submissions are invited for the 5th New Zealand
Discourse Conference from academics and others
interested in discourse analysis that addresses
theoretical, methodological or empirical
research in a variety of applications.
Given the increasing use of discourse analysis
in many disciplines submissions are not limited
to any one particular theme. However some of
the areas that have been included in our
previous conferences include:
- Culture and identity
- Public policy and the state
- Gender and diversity
- Ideology, power and knowledge
- Marketing and consumption
- Globalization and development
- (New) media
- Finance
- Community and health
- Education and learning
- Place, space and time
- Practice and praxis
- Professions and institutions
- Language and communication
- Work, management and organization
- Science and technology
- Computer-mediated communication
- Creativity and the arts
- Literary and historical texts
- Politics
Presentation Formats:
Due to the increasing growth of NZDC, in 2015
we will include an extra stream of individual
paper presentations, and for the first time
accept proposals for poster presentations and
themed symposia.
Individual Papers:
Each presentation will be allocated a 30-minute
time slot, 20 minutes for presentation followed
by 10 minutes for discussion. Papers are
typically scheduled in a session of three
presentations, which, where possible, will
share a common theme.
Posters:
Time will be scheduled during the conference
for authors of posters to informally discuss
their work with conference attendees. At least
one author of each accepted poster is required
to register for the conference, and to present
their poster during the scheduled poster
session.
Themed Symposia:
Symposia sessions, which provide an opportunity
for a group of researchers to present on a
single topic, should involve three presenters
and one discussant. Each symposium will
comprise 20 minutes presentation per speaker
and 30 minutes for open discussion, introduced
and led by the discussant.
Submission Details:
Abstracts should be submitted through EasyAbs
Abstract Submission at:
http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/nzdc5
Abstracts for individual papers and posters
should be 200-300 words in length (excluding
references) and include 3-5 key words.
Abstracts for themed symposia should include a
200-300 word abstract related to the symposium
proposal, as well as a 200-300 word abstract
for each individual presenter.
All abstracts should include a title, and
clearly identify the topic of analysis,
theoretical orientations, and discourse
analytical approach employed. Abstracts will be
anonymously reviewed and notifications of
acceptance will be sent out by 31 July, 2015.
Individuals may submit up to two abstracts if
one of those is co-authored and the other sole
authored.
You will receive an acknowledgement upon
receipt of your submission. If you do not
receive this, please contact the conference
