2007 Annual Conference in Japan

"Style and Communication"
How does language vary between different types of discourse or different contexts? How do writers or speakers exploit language variation to communicate their intended messages? What contribution do linguistic forms or stylistic variation make in interaction?
We look forward to receiving proposals (in any style!) considering the multi-dimensional relationship between style and communication in all domains of language, as well as proposals which reflect the established range of approaches to stylistic research. See "Call for papers" for further information.
