RELEVANCE THEORY AND LITERATURE
>
>LAST 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.
