+ | - **to provoke a discussion** on hot issues in the domain of the study in discourse, especially with respect to modern methodology and to computationally and corpus oriented research and its possible applications. Thus, the workshop may attract a rather broad (and cross-section) audience: those who are just starting their research in the given area will get enough stuff for thought how to proceed, and those who are in an advanced stage of their research will get a stimulating feedback from the floor and the discussion will make it possible for them to sharpen their ideas and plans. | ||
