Call for papers
ESP Seminar No. 2 TEACHING PRACTICES IN ESP TODAY
Seminar scope
For over thirty years, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has been defined by various authors as a learning-centred approach to language teaching where the goal of the learners is to use English in a particular domain (Hutchinson & Waters, 1987; Paltridge & Starfield, 2013). Yet, ESP teaching practices remain extremely varied depending on practitioners, institutions and countries. This seminar focuses on today’s diversity of ESP teaching and learning in Europe and further afield. However, beyond the richness of pedagogical varieties, it also raises the question of the theoretical foundations of ESP practices and, as such, welcomes papers on all aspects and issues of ESP didactics.
Abstract submission and deadlines
Participants are invited to submit a 200-word abstract of their proposed papers directly to all four convenors of the seminar before 28 February 2016. They will be informed of the convenors’ decision by 31 March 2016.

After three years of fruitful collaboration, the Yale WHCWG “Fictionality: Law. Literature. Science. Interdisciplinary Approaches’ invites presentation proposals (25 minute presentation) for its concluding conference on May 20/21, 2015 at Yale University, New Haven, CT. A selection of the conference’s papers will also be edited and published.
The keynote address will be given by Prof. Peter Brooks (Princeton/Georgetown Law).
The Conference will consist of two whole-day panels: one very specific on the role of Fictional Discourse in Legal Theory and Practice, and a second more open panel on the intersections and relations of Law and Fiction in general (a more traditional law and literature session) that is open to inquiries of all sorts. Each session will also have a session keynote, the speakers (Yale Law School Faculty) are still unconfirmed but will be determined shortly.
This Call for Paper is only for the FIRST SESSION (‘FICTIONAL DISCOURSE IN LEGAL THEORY AND PRACTICE’)- a separate Call for Papers will be posted for Session 2 (“Law and Fiction”).
This whole-day session will address the question of fiction in law from theoretical and dogmatic standpoints. What function and form may have fictions in the legal world? What parts do they play in legal codifications, in trials or as part of legal thinking and legal theory? Questions of the relations of Law to Reality in general are as welcome as more specific enquiries (eg. the nature and purpose of the fictio iuris).
Papers could address:
– Fictions as part of laws and codes / Fictional quality of Laws, legal examples, etc.
– Questions of legal semiotics (Truth, Reality of the Law, legal concepts etc.); Law and Language
– Question of Legal Interpretation and the search for a fixed or variable “truth” (Originalism, etc.)
– The nature and the reality of the Law
– Law as Literature
– Law as Fiction (LaRue, etc.)
– Fictions as part of trials and investigation (eg. the story of the case as a fictional construct)
– Fiction(s) as part of legal thinking
– Fiction(s) as part of legal instruction
– Relations of Law and Reality
– The question and nature of the fictio juris/ fictio legis (legal fiction)
– Historical or theoretical inquiries (e.g. Benthams Theory of Fiction, Locke, Fuller, etc.)
– Reception and application of philosophical theories /literary theory on truth and fiction in the field of law (John Searle, Richard Rorty, Jacques Derrida, Michael Riffaterre, Niklas Luhmann, Gregory Bateson, Ernst von Glasersfeld, Heinz von Foerster, Roman Ingarden, Gans, Gottfried Gabriel, Marie-Laure Ryan, Wolfgang Iser)
– Deconstruction and the Law
– Constructivism and the Law
– Neuroscience and the Law
Please send a short abstract of maximum 500 words (single spaced) and short academic resume (not more than 5 lines) that need to be both put on one SINGE PAGE, preferably as PDF, to hans.lind@yale.edu The Email Subject needs to be: ‘Session 1 CFP’ followed by your lastname and the title of your proposal (for automatic filtering purposes).
The deadline is March 30, due to the tight timeframe however, early submissions might have a higher chance to get accepted.

The editors of Language and Law / Linguagem e Direito (LL / LD), the new international bilingual bi-annual online journal, invite original unpublished contributions from researchers, academics and practitioners alike, in Portuguese or English. Articles are welcome in any area of forensic linguistics / language and the law for Volume 2.1, to be published in 2015.
Language and Law / Linguagem e Direito is completely electronic and freely available for everyone to download at http://llld.linguisticaforense.pt. Because Language and Law has no printing costs it can be extremely flexible to individual author’s requirements: not only can it publish quickly all the high quality articles it receives, but also it can cope with long appendices, reproduce illustrations, photographs and tables in full colour, as well embed sound files and hyperlinks.
All submissions must be made by email, in MS Word or Latex format, to the journal’s email address llldjournal@gmail.com. Manuscripts can vary in length, but we suggest that they should be between 4,500 and 8,000 words and be preceded by an abstract of no more than 150 words in the language of the article and, if possible, in the journal’s other language as well. The abstract should also include up to five keywords. Contributors should indicate in the body of the accompanying email their name, institutional affiliation and email address(es). Articles submitted for publication should not have been previously published nor submitted simultaneously for consideration elsewhere.
In submitting an article, authors cede to the journal the right to publish and republish it in both the journal languages. However, copyright remains with the authors. Thus, if they wish to republish, they simply need to inform the editors and on publication send complete bibliographical data.
The deadline for contributions is January 31, 2015. All papers will be double blind peer-reviewed by the end of March 2015 and the issue will be published by the end of July 2015.
