RELEVANCE THEORY AND LITERATURE
FIRST CALL FOR CONFERENCE PAPERS
Contributions are invited for a conference on Relevance Theory and
Literature to be held at the University of Huddersfield on September the
12th and 13th 2002.
The term 'literature' will be understood in its broadest senses, both oral
and written; in addition to papers dealing specifically with the
interpretation of literary texts, papers on other topics associated with but
not unique to literature, such as irony, metaphor, sound patterning,
narrative structure, and prosody, amongst many others, are also welcome. It
is intended that the conference should provide a forum for RT researchers
working within or adjacent to the intersection of the literary, linguistic
and pragmatic fields, regardless of the disciplinary origins of those
researchers. Theoretical and data-oriented papers are equally welcome.
Each presentation will be 30 minutes in length with 10 minutes for
questions.
Abstracts of around 300 words should be sent by March the 22nd 2002 to
Barbara MacMahon by mail or email. Please also give your full name,
institution, email and postal addresses. Notification that papers have been
accepted will be sent by April 12th 2002.
