The work-shop builds on the DisCorX - workshop organized by Dr. Ludivine Crible in 2020 about discourse in the lens of cognitive corpus linguistics and psycholinguistics. Its’ goal is to provide an opportunity to exchange state-of-the-art research regarding the production, comprehension and processing of discourse, both for L1 and L2 speakers. Focus will be laid on questions linked to:
- the way native and non-native readers make sense of discourse by using (or not) cues and signals of coherence relations
- individual differences in the interpretation of discourse relations
- the way they interpret and acquire pragmatic functions of discourse connectives
As such, our workshop targets underlying cognitive principles and general assumptions about the way we read and process coherence relations as well as more specific factors and circumstances that influence the way we produce, process and understand discourse. We encourage submissions on the following topics:
- categories of coherence relations
- categories of discourse signals
- second language acquisition of connectives
- processing of coherence relations in a L2
- polyfunctionality
- ambiguity
- information density
- "implicit” vs “explicit” relations
