ICELL 2016, International Conference On English Language and Literature
June 2nd and October 22nd, 2016 - Tirana, Albania
Conferences of Language and Literature are apparently becoming a trend in the academic world bemused with various ways of understanding language, literature and culture. In addition to their interrelations and interdependence, the new ideas and approaches emerging from various disciplines like literary theory, philosophy, anthropology, linguistics, pragmatics and discourse analysis alongside technological revolution and socio-cultural transformations, have a bearing on our study of language and literature. The conference aims at exploring the dynamics with a focus on the complementary nature of English language, literature and culture and their centrality in human life.
The International Conference on English Language and Literature is an Interdisciplinary Conference which aims to bring together scholars, researchers and graduate students to exchange and share their experiences and research work and discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted in this field. ICELL invites proposals for papers on English language and literature or with concentration on other languages and literatures but compared to English. English is compulsory paper and abstract language.
Authors' registration and abstract submission can be sent to: [email protected]
