/><p>The research group ‘Intercultural Pragmatic Studies
(English-Spanish): Pragmatic and Discourse Aspects’ of the
University Pablo de Olavide of Seville (Spain) is pleased to announce
its Fourth Symposium on Intercultural, Cognitive and Social Pragmatics
(EPICS IV / Encuentros de Pragmática Intercultural, Cognitiva y
Social), to be held in March 24-26, 2010. <br /><br />The fourth
edition of the symposium will be devoted to “(Im)Politeness and
Interpersonal Communication”. We will be honoured with the presence
of Dr. Miriam Locher, Professor of English Linguistics at the
University of Basel (Switzerland) and Dr. Pilar Garcés-Conejos
Blitvich, Professor of Linguistics at the University of North Carolina
(Charlotte, USA), as keynote speakers. <br /><br />The Symposium will
serve as a forum where applied linguists and practitioners of
Pragmatics and Discourse Analysis can meet, share experiences, discuss
common problems, and present papers on their latest research in these
fields. EPICS IV also wishes to create awareness among graduating
students of the growing interest in this area of linguistic
expertise.<br /> <br />Submissions:<br />We welcome original
papers, written in English or Spanish (20 minutes in length, the last
5 minutes will be devoted to questions and discussion) on any topic
relevant to “(Im)Politeness and Interpersonal Communication”. The
symposium especially covers but is not limited to papers that explore
the implications of pragmatics research for theoretical developments
and practical applications in the following topics:<br />-
(Im)Politeness and power,<br />- (Im)Politeness and gender,<br />-
Interpersonal pragmatics /communication<br />- Relational work<br />-
(Im)Politeness in cross-cultural/intercultural communication.<br />-
Analyses of (im)politeness from different pragmatic paradigms
(relevance theory, accommodation theory, etc.)<br /><br />Participants

step-by-step outline of the presentation and the following

/>Dates:<br />Deadline for receipt of abstracts is December 1st, 2009.
These will be peer-reviewed and notification of acceptance will be
sent by December 20th. The committee will plan the programme as soon
as it has selected the successful abstracts, so please indicate on the
abstracts if you cannot present your paper on any day of the
