<b><br>
6th Lodz Symposium<br>
New Developments in Linguistic Pragmatics (NDLP2012)</b><br>

<br>
<b>CALL FOR PAPERS</b><br>
<br>
This 10th anniversary edition of the NDLP conference series aims to respond to a surge of new research in pragmatics, with a view to bringing together the novel, empirically, experimentally and clinically based models, and classical topics/frameworks such as
Gricean pragmatics, speech act and presupposition theory. We encourage papers (re-)examining the semantics-pragmatics boundary, which has been sometimes blurred by the confrontation of the new and the traditional frameworks. Proposals are welcome at the intersection
of philosophy of language and pragmatics dealing with theoretical, methodological and definitional issues, as well as issues of interdisciplinarity in pragmatic investigation.<br>
<br>
While we specially encourage presentations of theoretical approaches which have a basis in empirical studies, or allow for experimentally testable predictions, the conference continues to be open to all kinds of pragmatics oriented research recognizing pragmatics
as a functional (i. e. cognitive, social and cultural) perspective on language and communication. This applies to functional studies involving multiple and heterogeneous territories: everyday discourse, media, education, political and professional settings,
problems of linguistic construction and maintenance of identity, pragmatic genres, issues of multilingualism and linguistic pluralism, pragmatic aspects of translation, pragmatic awareness in foreign language teaching, and more.<br>
<br>
Papers will be allocated 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions. The language of the conference is English.<br>
<br>
