RSSPersuasion in Public Discourse: Functional and Cognitive Perspectives
Sep 26
Call Deadline: 15-Nov-2013
Call for Papers:
We invite submission of abstracts for a panel entitled “Persuasion in
Public Discourse: Functional and Cognitive Perspectives”, to be proposed as
a part of The Fifth International Conference on Critical Approaches to
Discourse Analysis across Disciplines (CADAAD 2014), which will take place
at ELTE (Loránd Eötvös University) in Budapest, Hungary, 1-3 September
2014. The proposed panel aims to investigate persuasion as a rhetorical
phenomenon, from both functional and cognitive perspectives. We welcome
papers based on authentic discourse data in the public sphere. We are in
particular interested in papers that explore how grammar and lexical choice
creates persuasive effects and, meanwhile, how such choices co-contribute
for the purpose of changing the audience’s mental states.
We are especially interested in discussions based on authentic data, with a
special focus on public discourse for its hugely influential nature at
various levels of human social life. The possible text types that we are
interested may range from the domain of politics, business, mass media to
that of religion and academia.
Submissions of 250-350 words abstracts are welcome. Please include in your
abstract: 3-5 keywords, type of data, methodology, expected outcome and
possible contribution to the field, and a list of bibliography. Please send
in a separate file containing your name, affiliation, contact details, and
a brief bio-note. Submissions are due 31 October 2013. Notification of
acceptance will be sent 15 November 2013. For inquiry or submission,
contact either of the panel conveners: Louis Wei-lun Lu (weilunlu AT gmail
DOT com) and Jana Pelclova (pelclova AT phil DOT muni DOT cz).
