Days of Applied Linguistics VI
Table of contents
From 28.06 to 30.06.2023, the Days of Applied Linguistics will take place in cooperation between the Chair of Applied Linguistics (TU Dresden) and the Chair of Applied Linguistics (University of Wrocław) on the topic of text spaces and spatial texts intermedial.
Texts are the basis of communication in all areas of everyday life. They are omnipresent in public spaces, but this is often barely noticed. So far, these texts have also been marginalized in science. For some time now, linguistic landscape research has been focusing on these often neglected texts in order to uncover and describe linguistic and communicative practices. Especially in intercultural comparison, the cultural influences of the textualization of public space become visible: How are movements, how is the interaction of people in urban spaces controlled and shaped by such multimodal texts in their cultural determinacy? These questions will be discussed at the conference. Linguistic Landscape has been of particular interest to both Wroclaw and Dresden linguistics for some time. The conference aims to bring together and further develop the existing findings on texts in urban space.
We will focus on the following topics in particular:
- Spaces and texts - mutual determinacy,
- Texts in space, their design and functions,
- Text types and variants in specific spaces,
- Texts in spaces and their multimodality
- Linguistic and communicative practices in (inter-)cultural spaces
We cordially invite you to participate in the conference!
