We are glad to announce that the 5th Critical Approaches to Discourse
Analysis across Disciplines Conference (CADAAD) will take place 5-7
September 2016 and will be hosted by the Universit? di Catania, Sicily.

CADAAD conferences are intended to promote current directions and new
developments in cross-disciplinary critical discourse research. We
welcome papers which, from a critical-analytical perspective, deal with
contemporary social, scientific, political, economic, or professional
discourses and genres.

Possible topics include but are by no means limited to the following:

  * (New) Media discourses
  * Party political discourse
  * Advertising

  * Language and gender/sexuality
  * Nationalist discourses
  * Discourses of education
  * Discourses of the environment
  * Discourses of health and mental health
  * Discourses of business and economics
  * Language and the law

Within discourse contexts such as those listed above, we especially
welcome papers which re-examine existing frameworks for critical
discourse research and/or which highlight and apply new methodologies
sourced from anywhere across the humanities, social and cognitive
sciences including but without being limited to:

  * Cognitive Linguistics
