The 2022 Australian Systemic Functional Linguistics Association
(ASFLA<http://asfla.net/>) Conference will be held at Macquarie University,
from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th September. The pre-conference workshops will
run on Thursday, 22nd September.

We remain committed to holding the conference in person and strongly encourage
you to join us in Sydney if you can. However, we recognise that with the
ongoing pandemic and ever-changing travel restrictions, this may not be
possible for everyone. Therefore, we have decided to offer an online/hybrid
option for those who cannot join us in person.

Given the timing of this decision, we have decided to extend the Abstract
Submission deadline until next Friday, 6 May.

For further information, please visit the Conference website
(ASFLA2022.com<http://asfla2022.com/>) and click here to submit your
abstract<https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/4126/submissions/new?behalf=false&fromDashboard=false&preview=false>.

The theme of ASFLA2022 is Renewal and Resilience: Making Meaning in a Changing
World, which celebrates SFL’s continuing quest for understanding semiosis with
a view to making a positive social change. Specifically, we wish to highlight
SFL’s contributions to understanding how meaning-making resources are used to
engage with the issues facing our era of uncertainty and rapid change:
pandemics, climate change, infodemics/ misinformation, healthcare, war,
technological disruptions, access to (online) education, to name but a few.
More broadly, the conference aims to provide a forum for scholarly discussion
on how the different areas of SFL theory and related disciplines have been
applied, adapted, and/or extended to explore texts in both old and new contexts.

We invite abstracts that relate the conference theme to the fields of research
that include but are not limited to:

  *   SFL
  *   appliable linguistics
  *   discourse analysis
  *   multimodality and social semiotics
  *   educational and applied linguistics
  *   digital communication
  *   healthcare communication
  *   clinical linguistics
  *   digital humanities
  *   translation and interpretation

As always, we welcome all papers aimed at advancing any area of SFL theory or
praxis.

Presentation Format

  *   Full papers consist of a 25-minute talk followed by 10 minutes for
questions and discussion. The word limit for abstracts is 250 words (excluding
references).
  *   Colloquia: As we will only have space for a small number of themed
panels, please email the conference organisers separately if you intend to
submit a proposal for a colloquium and we can discuss it.
  *   Workshops: If you would like to organise a workshop, please contact the
conference organisers directly. Workshops should be practical and involve
participants in activities. Ideally, participants will experience methods of
SFL analysis. All workshops need to state the level of prior knowledge or
experience expected.

Key Dates

  *   Deadline for abstract submission: 6th May 2022
  *   Notification of acceptance: 25th May 2022
