Multidisciplinary Approaches to Discourse 2010 (MAD 10) is the eighth in a series of small-scale, high-quality workshops that have been organised (approx.) every second year since 1995. Its aim is to bring together researchers from different disciplines (linguistics, computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, educational and cognitive psychology, ergonomics and document design, semiotics, information and communication sciences, typography, etc.) to exchange information and learn from each other on a common topic of investigation. The theme of MAD 2010 is: Signalling Text Organisation.
