    CALL FOR PAPERS: PRAGMATICS AND MEDIA DISCOURSE

    Revista Alicantina de Estudios Ingleses (RAEI) is an international well-known Journal on English Studies published annually since 1988 by the University of Alicante (Spain). The abstracts of all the articles published so far can be accessed at the following Internet address:

    After the 1998 Special Issue on relevance theory, and the 2001 Special Issue on pragmatics and translation, RAEI is currently is preparing a Special Issue on pragmatics and media discourse(s). We would like to invite any contributors who are doing research on this field to participate in this volume which will appear in November 2005. Papers dealing with any contribution that pragmatics can make to the analysis of media discourses will be welcome, either theoretical of practical applications.

    Any area of pragmatics is welcome (relevance theory, discourse analysis, critical discourse analysis, conversation analysis, politeness theory, speech act theory, interactional sociolinguistics, nonverbal communication, etc.) and they can be applied to a wide range of media discourses (the press, TV discourse, film discourse, Internet discourse, advertising, cartoons, comics, radio discourse, etc.). We think that this area of pragmatic research is underdeveloped and that a special volume like this one will no doubt contribute to a better understanding of how pragmatics can be applied to these media discourses.

    Contributions, which should not be longer than 12.000 words, should be submitted before April 30th 2005, complying with the general RAEI guidelines for the submission of manuscripts which are accessible at the following Internet address:

    http://www.ua.es/dfing/publicaciones/raei/general/instrucciones.htm

    Manuscripts (2 hard copies) should be sent to the following address:

    Revista Alicantina de Estudios Ingleses
    University of Alicante
    Department of English Studies
    Apartado de Correos 99. E-03080 Alicante (Spain)
