address discourse in the media, the workplace, the classroom, everyday

conversation, and in therapeutic, political, legal, religious, and other

institutional contexts, addressing such areas as gender,identity, argument,

authority, and narrative. The discourse analytic approaches include

interactional sociolinguistics, critical discourse analysis, ethnography,

conversation analysis, and cognitive science. The conference presenters,
