4TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LANGUAGE AND

4TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LANGUAGE
AND LITERATURE
New perspectives in the study of modern languages
Department of Philology. University of Cantabria.
Santander, 20, 21 and 22 June, 2016
PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION
The Department of Philology of the University of Cantabria is pleased to resume
this series of conferences that started back in 2004 with the aim of fostering a
scientific meeting for the exchange of current research related to any of the areas
that make up the Department, namely Spanish, English and French Language and
Literature, as well as Didactics of Spanish Language and Literature.
The goal is to set up a forum where specialists in the study of modern languages
can present the results of their research from a variety of perspectives, with the
incorporation of new avenues and new theoretical and methodological paradigms.
The Conference will be arranged in thematic sessions and will consist of 20-minute
paper presentations followed by a 10-minute discussion. Proposals will undergo
blind review by a Scientific Committee made up of specialists in the different fields.
We also welcome submissions by young researchers in poster format. Further
details will be provided in the second circular.
In addition, the Conference will be honoured with plenary presentations by
renowned experts.
The Conference will be organised around two large thematic areas of linguistics
and literature:
The corpus as a tool for linguistic exploitation. Due to the huge impulse that
corpus creation and data exploitation techniques are receiving in linguistics, we are
looking for papers dealing with the possibilities and limitations of these tools and
their research outcomes and covering one or more of the following thematic lines:
-
Diachronic and synchronic linguistic studies (phonetics, phonology;
morphosyntax; semantics; lexis; discourse)
Linguistic variation and change
Sociolinguistics
Dialectology
Pragmatics and discourse
Metaphor studies
Corpus linguistics
Applied linguistics
Acquisition and teaching of first, second and foreign languages
Bilingualism and multilingualism
-
Teaching of literature
The rewriting of literary classics and their different reinterpretations
throughout history. This thematic line can be explored in relation to the following
topics:
Literary studies of periods (from the Middle Ages to contemporary
times)
Translation studies
Reception studies
Comparative literature
Teaching of literature
Children’s literature and literature for young adults
