/><b>Descripción</b><br /><p>“Eelevance theory: recent
developments, current challenges and future directions”<br /><br
/>The research group “Intercultural Pragmatic Studies
(English-Spanish): Pragmatic and Discourse Aspects” is pleased to
announce the celebration of the Fifth International Symposium on
Intercultural, Cognitive and Social Pragmatics (EPICS V, the Spanish
acronym for “Encuentros de Pragmática Intercultural, Cognitiva y
Social”). This Symposium will be held in March 14-16, 2012, at Pablo
de Olavide University, Seville, Spain. <br /><br />After addressing
issues related to (im)politeness, intercultural pragmatics or
interlanguage pragmatics in previous editions, this fifth edition of
the Symposium turns its attention to Relevance-theoretic pragmatics.
Under the topic “Relevance Theory: recent developments, current
challenges and future directions”, we hope that this 5th edition of
EPICS gathers practitioners of Pragmatics and other neighbouring
fields to discuss and present works on their latest research in the
field of relevance-theoretic pragmatics, as well as to share
experiences and suggest new avenues for research within this
theoretical paradigm in the near future. EPICS V also wishes to create
awareness among graduate students not only of the growing interest in
an area of linguistic expertise such as Pragmatics, but also of one of
its most vibrant paradigms, namely Relevance Theory. <br /><br />For
this edition, we will be honoured with the presence of Prof Deirdre
Wilson and Prof Robyn Carston (UCL, London and CSMN, University of
Oslo), as keynote speakers. The titles of their lectures will be
announced in due course.<br /><br /><br />1. Conference presentations
types<br /><br />We welcome original presentations in English, which
can be made any of the following types:<br /><br />A) oral
presentations<br /><br />Oral presentations on any of the subjects
that come within the list of conference topics below or on any other
topic related to Relevance-theoretic pragmatics. These must be 20
minutes in length, followed by 10 minutes for questions and
discussion. <br /><br /><br />B) posters<br /><br />Printed posters on
any of the subjects that come within the list of conference topics
below or on any other topic related to Relevance-theoretic pragmatics.
Participants presenting a poster must obey the following norms:<br />-
Posters should be no larger than 118,9 x 84,1 cm (A0).<br />- They may
be printed in colour or in black and white.<br />- Poster presenters
must bring a printed copy of their poster with them to the conference.
Note that there will not be printing facilities at the conference
venue. Presenters will also be responsible for displaying the poster
and turning it down at the time and in the place designated by the
conference organisers.<br /><br /><br />2. Topics<br /><br />The
Symposium especially covers, but is not limited to, works that present
recent developments, implications and applications of Relevance
Theory, and propose further paths for future research in the following
areas (obviously, the list is not exhaustive):<br />- Relevance and
communication<br />- Relevance and understanding<br />- Pragmatic
processes in understanding<br />- Relevance theory and syntax<br />-
Relevance theory and morphology<br />- Relevance theory and prosody<br
/>- The conceptual-procedural distinction<br />- Lexical pragmatics<br
/>- Metarepresentational dimensions of language use<br />- Relevance
theory and figures of speech (metaphor, irony, simile, hyperbole,
etc.)<br />- Relevance and discourse<br />- Relevance and humour<br
/>- Relevance theory and translation and interpreting<br />- Relevance
theory and (im)politeness or relational work<br />- Relevance theory
and the architecture of mind<br />- Epistemic vigilance<br />-
Experimental testing of specific theoretical claims<br />- Contrasts
between relevance-theoretic and other pragmatic approaches to specific
phenomena<br /><br />3. Submissions<br /><br />Contributors to EPICS
V, regardless of whether they give an oral presentation or present a
poster, must submit a one-page abstract no longer than 350 words,
accompanied by a step-by-step outline of the presentation and the
following information: <br /><br />1. Author’s name(s) and
affiliation<br />2. Title of paper<br />3. Audio-visual equipment
required (computer, VHS video, OHP, cassette, etc.)<br />4. E-mail
address(es)<br />5. Postal address(es)<br /><br />Proposals must be
sent as email attachment to both Manuel Padilla Cruz
(mpadillacruz@us.es) and Reyes Gómez Morón (rgommor@upo.es).<br
/><br /><br />4. Dates<br /> <br />Deadline for receipt of abstracts
is November 1st, 2011. Proposals will be peer-reviewed and
notification of acceptance will be sent by December 15th. The
organising 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 conference (March
14-16), as it is very difficult to reschedule papers after the
programme has been planned.<br /><br /><br />5. Publication<br /><br
/>After the Symposium, EPICS V participants are invited to submit
revised and extended versions of their work for publication at an
international publisher. The final text (maximum 10000 words) can be
submitted (Word or RTF format) after the Symposium but no later than
June 1st, 2011. Style guidelines will be provided in due course.<br
/><br /><br />6. Conference fees<br /><br />Until January 30th,
2011:<br />Attendants ...................................100 € <br
/>Speakers ......................................150 € <br /><br
/>From January 30th, onwards:<br />Attendants

conference dinner, whose price is NOT included in the conference fee.
The account to deposit the registration fee will be announced in the
second call for papers. Presentations will not be included in the
final program if registration fees have not been prepaid. Please note
that payment on site will NOT be possible. In the next call for
papers, information about accommodation will also be included.<br
