RT list: upcoming deadline for abstract submission

Dear All,

I am writing to inform/remind everyone who may be interested that deadline for abstact submission to the Interpreting for Relevance conference is on June 15th. The conference is to be held in Warsaw, Poland, on September 29-30th 2014.

Below I paste Call for Papers with all the details. Should you have any questions, please contact me.

Regards,

Agnieszka Piskorska

The IfR conference will explore the theme of “Style and Stylistics”, from the perspective of Relevance Theory as well as other, related or competing approaches. We would like to encourage all those interested in linguistics, translation studies and literary analysis to contribute papers pertaining to problems of style, broadly conceived as a relationship between form and communicative effects.

We welcome submissions in these, and possibly other areas:

- the contribution of decoding and inference to stylistic effects;

- the interaction of inferential processes in achieving stylistic effects;

- the literal/non-literal continuum;

- humour and irony in the creation of style;

- routes of metaphor interpretation;

- developments in the study of metonymy and hyperbole;

- procedural meaning, cohesion and coherence;

- the interaction of style, genre, and relevance;

- social implications of stylistic choices;

- styles in translation;

- style and argumentation;

- the linguistic potential of languages to express stylistic effects;

- styles across cultural and intellectual traditions;

Presentation time is 20 minutes plus 10 minutes question time. Proposals for workshops, panel discussions and other sessions are welcome.
