About
Prof. Cornelia Ilie's research, which is internationally anchored and largely interdisciplinary, spans four main areas: pragma-semantics, institutional discourse analysis, intercultural rhetoric and argumentation theory.
She is currently the coordinator of the project GENPARDIS – Gender and parliamentary discourse practices with a focus on the U.K. Parliament, the Swedish Riksdag and the French Assemblée nationale (2010-2012), which is funded by Vetenskapsrådet (the Swedish Research Council). The overall goal of the project is to develop an interdisciplinary gender-based approach to parliamentary discursive practices with particular emphasis on female and male MPs’ behaviour patterns, debating styles and argumentation strategies. This project is being carried out in collaboration with PolTCH (The Finnish Centre of Excellence in Political Thought and Conceptual Change) http://www.jyu.fi/yhtfil/PolCon, and with the project GCRP (Gendered Ceremony and Ritual in Parliament), University of Warwick, Birkbeck
College, Sheffield University and Bristol University) http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/pais/research/gcrp
Prof. Ilie is President of ENIEDA (European Network for Intercultural Education Activities). A central goal of ENIEDA is to promote the values of multilingualism and intercultural education and to develop extensive collaboration, bridging disciplinary barriers and the gap between teaching and research.
Some of her recent publications are: The use of English in institutional and business settings: An intercultural perspective (2007); Language, culture, rhetoric: Cultural and rhetorical perspectives on communication (2004); Language and Ideology, Vol. 2: Descriptive Cognitive Approaches (2001). The latest publication is European parliaments under scrutiny: Discourse strategies and interaction practices (2010).
She has guest edited a Special issue of Journal of Pragmatics 2010, 42(4): Pragmatic Perspectives on Parliamentary Discourse.
