ESSE Conference - atelier "Exploring rhetorical aspects and strategies in specialised discourse"

Nous vous prions de bien vouloir trouver ci-dessous l'appel à communications pour l'atelier 06 du prochain congrès ESSE qui se tiendra à BRNO du 29 août au 2 septembre 2018.

"Exploring rhetorical aspects and strategies in specialised discourse"

Among the various perspectives adopted by researchers to investigate specialised discourse - whether institutional, professional, disciplinary or academic - one particular aspect seems to have been somewhat neglected until now, namely the place and functions of rhetorical strategies. In this seminar, we wish to focus on this specific aspect by inviting researchers to explore how authority is built (ethos), what means are used to convince, reassure, inspire or influence an audience (logos, pathos, framing, worldview), how rhetorical choices depend on and reflect the constraints, conventions and goals of specific communities, and how the latter use them to adapt to different situations, and meet the expectations of a given public.

 

Nous vous serions reconnaissantes de bien vouloir adresser vos propositions de 200 mots aux trois co-responsables pour le 31 janvier 2018.
