Call for papers - deadline 31st January 2019
PALA conferences have always embraced a variety of approaches to the analysis of language and style. While PALA conference papers in recent years have continued to maintain a strong focus on traditional literary-linguistic themes, this orientation has been broadened by contributions which cover different styles of language, different modes of communication and different genres of discourse.
PALA Liverpool 2019 invites the submission of Abstracts for proposed talks that address any of the topics above. Abstracts will be particularly welcome that address the conference theme and which explore the connections between stylistics and other disciplines. Aligning with the idea of ‘borders’, proposals are welcome which explore the representation in discourse of the concept of migration or which investigate perceptions of social, cultural, racial or national difference.
Abstracts should be no more than 250 words in length (excluding references), and should be submitted to the Organizing Committee at the following email address: pala2019@liverpool.ac.uk
Abstracts should be sent in a .doc/.docx file and should include a list of keywords and a maximum of 5 key references.
Timetabling pressure means that we can only accept a maximum of one single-authored paper per attendee.
Presentations are limited to 20 minutes, followed by up to 10 minutes of discussion (i.e. a 30 minute slot).
The submission deadline for Abstracts is 31st of January 2019.
We intend to let successful applicants know that they have been accepted to present on Friday 22nd February 2019.
