IWoDA’13 is the Second Santiago de Compostela International Workshop on Discourse Analysis. IWoDA’13 is jointly organized by the same team that made the first edition, IWoDA’11, such a great success in 2011: SCIMITAR (Santiago-Centred International Milieu for Interactional, Typological and Acquisitional Research) and D&I (Discourse & Identity), two research groups affiliated to the Department of English and German of the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC). SCIMITAR and D&I are collaborating with three partner groups from the nearby University of A Coruña (UDC), namely AMERGIN, CLIN and MUSTE.
