4TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE New perspectives in the study of modern languages Department of Philology. University of Cantabria. Santander, 20, 21 and 22 June, 2016 PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION The Department of Philology of the University of Cantabria is pleased to resume this series of conferences that started back in 2004 with the aim of fostering a scientific meeting for the exchange of current research related to any of the areas that make up the Department, namely Spanish, English and French Language and Literature, as well as Didactics of Spanish Language and Literature. The goal is to set up a forum where specialists in the study of modern languages can present the results of their research from a variety of perspectives, with the incorporation of new avenues and new theoretical and methodological paradigms. The Conference will be arranged in thematic sessions and will consist of 20-minute paper presentations followed by a 10-minute discussion. Proposals will undergo blind review by a Scientific Committee made up of specialists in the different fields. We also welcome submissions by young researchers in poster format. Further details will be provided in the second circular. In addition, the Conference will be honoured with plenary presentations by renowned experts. The Conference will be organised around two large thematic areas of linguistics and literature: The corpus as a tool for linguistic exploitation. Due to the huge impulse that corpus creation and data exploitation techniques are receiving in linguistics, we are looking for papers dealing with the possibilities and limitations of these tools and their research outcomes and covering one or more of the following thematic lines: - Diachronic and synchronic linguistic studies (phonetics, phonology; morphosyntax; semantics; lexis; discourse) Linguistic variation and change Sociolinguistics Dialectology Pragmatics and discourse Metaphor studies Corpus linguistics Applied linguistics Acquisition and teaching of first, second and foreign languages Bilingualism and multilingualism - Teaching of literature The rewriting of literary classics and their different reinterpretations throughout history. This thematic line can be explored in relation to the following topics: Literary studies of periods (from the Middle Ages to contemporary times) Translation studies Reception studies Comparative literature Teaching of literature Children’s literature and literature for young adults CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS A monographic volume will be published in digital format by the University of Cantabria (http://www.editorialuc.es/).
