Invitation: Tenth Brno Conference on Linguistics Studies in English
The Department of English Language and Literature, Faculty of Education, Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic is pleased to announce The Tenth Brno Conference on Linguistics Studies in English, which will be held in Brno on 4-5 September 2023.
The Tenth Brno Conference on Linguistics Studies in English 2023
4-5th September 2023
Date
The Tenth Brno Conference will focus on studies of the English language as a multifaceted, multidimensional and variable phenomenon. Aspects of the language, such as the form, structure, meaning, function and context work together to meet people’s communicative needs, and the message, medium employed, audience and culture complete the parameters of a communicative situation. We understand the combining of various perspectives and drawing on the tools characteristic of various linguistic disciplines as a necessary condition of contemporary linguistic research.
We particularly welcome papers and posters with the following foci:
- corpus-based analysis of English language discourse
- cross-cultural and cross-linguistic research
- study of multimedia genres and new trends in communication
- pragmatics of English language discourse
- specialised discourses
- English as a global/international language
- mind, cognition and language
The conference fee is €90 (CZK 2200) and includes conference materials, reception, refreshments and possible publication.
The conference language is English.
If you wish to attend the conference, please complete the Online Registration Form on the website by 15 May 2023. If you wish to present a paper or a poster, please indicate the title on the registration form and include an abstract of 200-250 words specifying the scope of research and the methods and data applied. Participants will be notified of acceptance by 15 June 2023.
