[ecrea] cfp - CADAAD panel on Discourses of the Ukrainian Conflict: Linguistic Creativity in the Time of Crisis

*Discourses of the Ukrainian Conflict: Linguistic Creativity in the Time 
of Crisis *

We invite submission of abstracts for a panel entitled “Discourses of 
the Ukrainian Conflict: Linguistic Creativity in the Time of Crisis”, to 
be proposed as a part of The Seventh International Conference on 
Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis across Disciplines (CADAAD 
2018), which will take place 4-6 July 2018 and will be hosted by Aalborg 
University, Denmark.

This panel welcomes contributions that highlight discursive practices 
prompted by the situation of crisis and investigate the trends in 
language aggression, framing, evaluation, persuasion, and other elements 
of conflict communication from a discourse-analytical perspective. Since 
the turbulent political, social, and military situation in Ukraine has 
triggered an extraordinary upsurge in linguistic creativity, we are 
especially interested in research that focuses on such innovation, its 
causes, sources, and functions in various spheres of communication. We 
hope the discussion will advance//the understanding of the relationship 
between language, discourse, and society through highlighting the 
complex interrelation of linguistic and extra-linguistic phenomena in 
the time of crisis and through attention to the active and deliberate 
communicative activity of the discourse participants.

We invite papers based on authentic discourse data in the public sphere, 
especially in informal media, such as social networks, as well as in 
traditional media; corpus-assisted discourse studies are particularly 
welcome.

The papers may focus on a variety of topics, and may cover (among 
others) such areas as:

  * Conflict and aggression
  * Power, oppression, or legitimation
  * Identity construction and management
  * Humor in the time of crisis
  * Media and technology and their role in shaping discourses of crisis
  * Narratives of political parties, institutions, or social movements
  * Military action narratives
  * Gender in crisis discourse
  * Migration, integration, and discrimination
  * History and memory
  * Contested categorization, contested framing
  * Nation, nationalism, and populism
  * Health and mental health
  * Business and economics

A range of approaches and different theoretical and analytical 
perspectives are welcome, including but not limited to:

  * Conversation and Discourse Analysis
  * Corpus Linguistics
  * Cognitive Linguistics
  * Discursive Psychology
  * Ethnography of Communication
  * Forensic Linguistics
  * Functional Linguistics
  * Multimodality
  * Pragmatics and Argumentation Theory
  * Sociolinguistics
