Hyvät kielitieteilijät,

"Grammar and genre: interfaces and influences".

Varatkaa päivät jo kalenteriinne, vaikka netissä ei vielä olekaan

of Humanities of Åbo Akademi University)

Variation is one of the key themes in modern grammatical studies, and
its investigation highlights the role of contextual factors in the
structure of language. These factors can be on many levels and of many
different types. The mere genre to which a text belongs potentially
dictates a variety of linguistic structures. (For studies about genre
see e.g. Bakhtin 1986 to begin with, and more recently Martin & Rose
2008, Biber & Conrad 2009, and Dorgeloh & Wanner 2010.)

This symposium aims to study the interfaces between grammar and genre:
the purpose is to investigate how genre affects grammatical choices. How
are genre distinctions reflected in grammar, be it for example literary
vs. media genres, or distinctions such as argumentative, informative,
persuasive, expressive, or narrative genres? Is a specific genre
belonging to a particular domain, e.g. sport news vs. economy news,
characterized by certain grammatical choices? Possible genre
distinctions are various, and both empirical questions related to the
theme and more theoretical implications and reflections thereof are welcome.

We would like to bring together linguists from different fields:
linguists studying languages with a small number of speakers, linguists
whose data come from languages with millions of speakers and a wide
variety of institutionalized genres, theoretically oriented linguists to
discuss the implications, as well as linguists with more empirical concerns.

Invited plenary speakers:
Maarten Mous, Leiden University
Maria Vilkuna, Institute for the Languages of Finland
Tuija Virtanen-Ulfhielm, Åbo Akademi University
Anja Wanner, University of Wisconsin-Madison
