400 words;
-Colloquia (lasting 3 hours and 30 minutes each) should include a general

THEME: Negotiating difference: languages, metalanguages, modalities, cultures.
The theme celebrates the rich and multifaceted nature of semiotic systems as research objects as well as the multilayered nature of the research and contributions to linguistics that are motivated by those semiotic systems. The theme also celebrates dialogue, plurality and mutual acquaintance by promoting not only intersections and interfaces involving different perspectives, trends and theoretical perceptions of research objects within systemic functional linguistics, but also associations and connections with theories and methodologies outside systemic functional linguistics. The theme therefore seeks to be broad and inclusive, inspiring the congress to embrace contributions that fall outside the scope promoted by previous ISFCs. In particular, it aims at building bridges, transcending frontiers and negotiating difference to include reflections, dialogues, partnerships and discussions with researchers working in other theories and methodologies but who share certain fundamental axioms with SFL.
