September 2016 and will be hosted by the Universit? di Catania, Sicily.

CADAAD conferences are intended to promote current directions and new

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:
