We're very excited about our one-day workshop coming up this Saturday on the application of relevance theory in understanding aspects of literariness and stylistic analysis.
The workshop is free and open to all but bookings need to be made in advance via this link:

The line-up couldn't be stronger, featuring seven of the most important researchers in this area today (and me), all of whom are great people to know and work with, as well as excellent communicators.
The speakers also include two of the first three people who introduced me to relevance theory: Robyn Carston and my PhD supervisor Deirdre Wilson (the third is Ruth Kempson - wish she was coming too!)
Deirdre and Robyn (and Ruth) are excellent teachers and taught me lots about teaching and academic life in general as well as about relevance theory. There are lots of people I'm looking forward to seeing among the other attendees too.
Book fast if you'd like to come as there are not many places left.
