Please follow this link for the submission point for Special Interest Group Proposals for PALA 2024, hosted by Sheffield Hallam University, UK. The deadline for SIG Proposals is Monday 23rd October 2023.
The theme of the 2024 PALA conference is ‘Stylistics in the World’ and we invite proposals for SIGs which seek to address the role that stylistics research can play in the world. For instance, we would welcome SIGs on research that involves collaboration with external partners, research that intersects with policy, and studies that involve reading as it happens beyond the walls of the university, as well as engagement with the ‘world’ metaphor more widely.
Potential topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- stylistics as an applied approach,
- stylistics in relation to the challenges we face in the world,
- research that investigates reading as it happens, beyond the walls of the university,
- stylistics’ relationship to other disciplines,
- stylistics and the world metaphor.
