We are pleased to announce the 34th International Conference of the Spanish Association of Applied Linguistics (AESLA) to be held in Alicante from 14 to April 16 2016. The topic for this edition is “Professional and Academic Discourse: an Interdisciplinary Perspective". La seu del Congrés serà la S ede de la Universitat d’Alacant en la calle San Fernando, 40, en ple centre de la ciutat d’Alacant.

The Conference will focus on the relationship between the different streams of professional and academic discourse in order to analyze the various proposals that in certain areas and perspectives (humanities, science, society, etc.), converge in a general framework that can be labelled “professional and academic discourse.” In this sense, the Conference will deepen the links between languages and professions, characterized by specific linguistic and discursive structures and, in most cases, restricted to small groups of users.

AESLA 2016 is pleased to welcome the following keynote speakers who have already confirmed their participation:

• Ken Hyland (University of Hong Kong).
• Maurizio Gotti (University of Bergamo, CERLIS, Centro di Ricerca sui Linguaggi Specialistici).
• Lynne Bowker (University of Ottawa, Canadá)
• Pascual Cantos Gómez (University of Murcia, Spain).
