    >SECOND 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 venue for the conference is Storthes Hall Park, a
    >countryside site of the university 4 miles from the centre of Huddersfield.
    >
    >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.
