IWoDA´18, "Constructing and deconstructing discourse in English: Key features, challenges and innovations"
IWoDA is an international workshop jointly organized by the research groups SCIMITAR (University of Santiago de Compostela) and MuStE (University of A Coruña). Our main aim is to bring together scholars and researchers who will explore and analyze discourse from different perpectives (linguistic, cognitive, psychological/psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic, critical, literary, cultural, etc.). Plenary Speakers will provide case studies, tools and methodologies in plenary lectures and specialised workshops, which will upgrade the skills necessary for discourse analysis in different settings and for different purposes, thereby promoting life-long learning and encouraging synergies between academics.
