Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis
Call Deadline: 20-Dec-2014
Meeting Description:
Interventions Organisation:
It follows from these introductory remarks:
On the one hand, the speakers will be required
to situate themselves in a field in one side
while contrasting their positions with others
and from another side while exposing as much as
possible the supports that they might have
found in the preceding models, which they have
later on given up.
On the other hand, we will pair the
participants in a way that will make them focus
their contrasted and crossing attention only on
problem setting or following distinct
traditions/models. Moderating these face to
face «collaborations» ensured by the DITECO
network members should allow scholars to
progress towards bringing together points of
views.
On which new bases can we maintain the
Text/Discourse opposition?
How is it possible to make new descriptive
categories by making the theories, the domains
or the currents interact? Starting from which
new textual and/or discursive categories can we
make the already developed models converge
without crossing each other?
Regarding the fact that certain instrumental
concepts have exhausted their heuristic value,
are the disciplinary meeting points capable of
articulating knowledge that has not been a
priori reconcilable, apt to create their proper
problem frames and to define new semiotic
objects?
How can these comparisons between models
rebuild differently other concepts which had
imposed themselves in an era before being used
up and collapsing?
Are the concepts a product of the textual or
discursive practices, and which rely
essentially on the written, and/or are
transposable to the oral?
Regarding progress in studies on genericity
made possible thanks to the digital: we will
inquire whether these studies will not
strengthen the utility of the textual approach
without a discursive aspect? How does the
transition towards the digital, towards the
change of means and forms, allow for the
renewing of disciplines and forging of new
cultures, through new significant
practices?
Do the possibilities offered by the automatic
processing of language, and particularly the
technique of exploiting large corpora, which
refuse to view the texts as small closed
entities foster new alliances which allow the
forging of new operative concepts better
adapted to their specificities?
We can also question the links between certain
European models and their reinstatement in
Latin America, with discourse analysis and
semiotics. Since these theories and their
practices have their own history and
particularly abide by sociological and
ideological constraints, can these theoretical
filiations leave their imprints on each other
in development of discourse and text
analysis?
