Lisbon, 19-21 June 2024


The next International Conference on ‘Discourse Markers in Romance Languages’ (DISROM 8) will be held at the University of Lisbon from June 19th to June 21th, 2024.

The Conference is one of a series of conferences on discourse markers in Romance languages (Madrid, 2010; Buenos Aires, 2011; Campinas, 2012; Heidelberg, 2015; Louvain-la- Neuve, 2017, Bergamo, 2019, Craiova 2022) and aims to build on the previous events, serving as a platform for internationally renowned linguists and young researchers alike to exchange views and ideas and to broaden their research perspectives.


This Conference’s theme will deal specifically :

a)     with  interactions between DMs and their explicit/implicit context, overcoming the traditional divide between their textual and interpersonal functions;

b)     with the subjective adjustment function of DMs


The keynote speakers of this edition of the DISROM conferences will be:

Isabel Margarida Duarte (Universidade do Porto)

Denis Paillard (CNRS and Université Paris Diderot)

Andrea Sansò (University of Insubria)
