/><b>Descripción</b><br /><p>The research group “Intercultural
Pragmatic Studies (English-Spanish): Pragmatic and Discourse Issues”
is pleased to announce the upcoming Sixth International Symposium on
Intercultural, Cognitive and Social Pragmatics (EPICS VI, after the
Spanish acronym for “Encuentros de Pragmática Intercultural,
Cognitiva y Social”). EPICS VI will be held on 12th-14th May 2014,
at the University of Seville, Spain. <br /><br />After having
addressed issues related to (im)politeness, intercultural pragmatics,
interlanguage pragmatics and relevance theory in previous editions,
the sixth EPICS Symposium turns its attention to conflict in language.
Under the umbrella theme “Pragmatic Perspectives on Language
Aggression and Conflict”, EPICS VI aims at providing a forum for
practitioners of pragmatics and other related disciplines to present
on their latest research, as well as to share experiences and suggest
new avenues for research. EPICS VI also wishes to create awareness
among graduate students of the growing interest in this area of
linguistic expertise within the broad field of pragmatics. <br /><br
/>We are very honoured that Professor Jonathan Culpeper (Lancaster
University) and Professor John Joseph (The University of Edinburgh)
have agreed to be EPICS VI keynote speakers. <br /><br />EPICS VI will
also host the European launching of the Journal of Language Aggression
and Conflict. Co-edited by Pilar Garcés Blitvich (University of North
Carolina at Charlotte) and Maria Sifianou (National and Kapodistrian
University of Athens), JLAC focuses on the study of aggression and
conflict, as manifested in language, from different perspectives such
as discursive, pragmatic, sociolinguistic, cultural, cognitive,
applied linguistics, or anthropological. Because of the thematic
connections between JLAC and EPICS VI, a selection of the best
contributions presented at EPICS VI will be published in a special
issue JLAC.<br /><br />1. conference presentations types<br />We
welcome original papers, written in English, on any of the subjects
that come within the list of conference topics below or on any other
topic related to language aggression and conflict. Presentations can

presentations<br />These must be 20 minutes in length, followed by 10
minutes for questions and discussion. <br /><br />b) themed panels<br
/>These must contain a number of thematically-related papers, each of

/>2. topics:<br />EPICS VI especially focuses, but is not limited to
