Conference Description
Humans' ability to use language does not only simplify daily communication,
but indeed defines who we are. The use of language is an indispensable element to
everyday life, where it is reflected in roughly all what we accomplish. Language
incarcerates our vision and discernment to the world around us since it is engaged
in every facet of our life. In view of that, linguists attempt to ascertain the way we
use the language for a better understanding of ourselves and to fathom the
rationale behind this behavior. Linguists endeavor, among other pursuits, to explore
how language is used in different contexts: social, cultural, political, and historical,
which lead us straightforwardly to the realm of discourse analysis. Indeed,
discourse studies, being centered on language use, continue to represent a fertile
venue of research that feeds linguistics and many other disciplines. The various
methodological strands of discourse analysis are constantly and productively
employed to resolve the problems related to language use, hence fulfilling the chief
goal of applied linguistic research. The application of discourse-oriented research in
a variety of fields is the key to the multidisciplinary magnitude of discourse analysis.
To mention but a few applications, discourse analysis can be used to uncover social
impediments such as favoritism, to reveal politicians' ideologies through their
speech or customers' views on new products, to scrutinize government policy
documents, to analyze websites' contents or virtual communities' tendencies or
even to quantify trending topics in social media for marketing purposes. In other
words, discourse analysis can be relevant to countless areas of research, in an
analytic routine fundamentally connected to its hypothetical and practical
underpinnings. Researching the expansions made in discourse approaches and their
inexhaustible possible contributions to enhance our understanding of the world and
to resolve language-related dilemmas is therefore practically very rewarding.

In consideration of the foregoing, The Second International Applied

Linguistics Conference (IALC), whose theme for this edition is ‘Discourse studies:
advances and applications,’ will bring together researchers, practitioners and
scholars from academia to share their research findings on discourse studies and
their applications. This will be a platform to discuss the most recent innovations,
trends, and concerns as well as practical uses of discourse research in relation to
such fields as language learning and teaching, analytical research, literary stylistics,
culturally distinctive communication, translation and interpretation, and other
related fields. This academic event will offer an interdisciplinary podium for sharing
knowledge and disseminating original thoughts and research findings in discourse
analysis.
