IGALA 4
Fourth International Gender and Language Association Conference:
International Perspectives on Gender
Valencia, Spain, 8-10 November, 2006
IGALA 4
This is the 4th Biennial Conference of the International Gender and Language
Association, to be held at the Universitat de Valčncia from 8th to 10th
November, 2006.
The Conference will offer a broad view of research on language, gender, and
sexuality around the world. The event will consist of a series of plenary
sessions, 20-minute papers, and posters dealing with any aspect of one of
the most flourishing fields of research within Humanities. IGALA’s
increasing internationalization is a fact –the 2006 Valencia conference will
be the first one to be held outside the USA or Britain. Hopefully,
therefore, a fruitful debate will take place between researchers from
English-speaking countries and those from other areas of the world,
particularly from Mediterranean countries. Researchers and postgraduates
working in any of the fields contributing to research on gender, language,
and sexuality –discourse studies, psychology, literary studies,
psychoanalysis, anthropology, pragmatics, stylistics, linguistics,
philosophy, conversation analysis, feminist studies, etc.– are warmly
welcomed to Valencia in November 2006.

Sara Mills (Sheffield Hallam University – UK)
Janet Holmes (Victoria University, Wellington – New Zealand)
Joan Pujolar (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya)
