CONFERENCE
ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS:
Within the CONTACT project, co-funded
by MIUR within the framework of the ECOLINGUA project, the Department of
English Studies of the Catholic University of Milan is pleased to announce a
Satellite Symposium on Native and
non-native mediated discourse and the changing English language within
the GlobEng: International Conference on Global English. The symposium provides a forum for
discussion on the role of English as a Lingua Franca with specific regard to
the concept of mediated discourse in its various forms. There is an increasing awareness that
specific mechanisms are at work in the mediation process, which influence the
kind of language used and the text which is produced. This is particularly
evident when English is used as a Lingua Franca within international
academic, institutional and professional settings where native-speakers are a
minority. The symposium will run alongside the
parallel sessions of the GlobEng conference and will follow on from the
plenary speaker presentations. Sessions
will be held on the following topics: - Perspectives on ELF and non-native English - Translated English as mediated discourse - Mediated discourse: interpreting and dubbing - Corpora and native and non-native English - The CONTACT PROJECT on Mediated Discourse: State-of-the-Art Abstracts -
