Organised by the Historical Discourse Working Group and the Leo Baeck Institute, London, with the support of the Centre for Anglo-German Cultural Relations, this international conference will discuss pre-1945 nationalist, anti-Semitic and colonialist discourse as well as issues of methodology. The organisers’ aim is to foster debate on points of contact between linguistics and the historical analysis of political and ideological discourses. Keynote speakers include Austrian linguist Ruth Wodak (Distinguished Professor and Chair in Discourse Studies at Lancaster University).
