SPECIAL TOPIC
LANGUAGE AND IDEOLOGY
OTHER TOPICS
The conference is open to all other pragmatics-related topics as well
(where pragmatics is interpreted very broadly as a cognitive,
social, and cultural perspective on language and communication). The
distribution of topics acro= ss event types is described below.
ANTICIPATED EVENT TYPES
PLENARY LECTURES: A number of plenary lectures will be given on a
diversity of topics, some of general interest to pragmaticians, others
directly related to the special topic of this edition of the
International Pragmatics Conferences. Plenary speakers will include
(titles are tentative!):
Michael BILLIG (Dept. of Social Sciences, Loughborough University),
Ideology and the dialogic unconscious
Charles BRIGGS (Ethnic Studies, University of California at San Diego),
Missing signs: Ideological presuppositions and political lacunae in pragmatics
Teresa CARB=FE (Center for Adv. Studies in Social Anthropology, Mexico
City), On the reading power of pragmatics: A perspective
Paul DREW (Dept. of Sociology, The University of York), What a difference
a turn makes! Sequence and description in conversation.
Oswald DUCROT (cole des Hautes tudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris),
Argumentation et infrence
Norman FAIRCLOUGH (Dept. of Linguistics, University of Lancaster),
(Title to be announced)
Monica HELLER (Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, Toronto),
Alternative ideologies of `la francophonie'
Paul TAKAHARA (Dept. of English, Kobe City Univ. of Foreign Studies),
Pragmatic functions of discourse markers in English and Japanese
Ruth WODAK (Dept. of Linguistics, University of Vienna), Discourse and the
transformation of identities
LECTURE SESSIONS: Regular lecture sessions (20-minute presentations
followed by 5 minutes for discussion and allowing 5 minutes for
switching between sessions) are reserved for papers which are directly
related to the special topic of the conference (but see the
information below on `Panels')
The Conference Committee reserves the right to place individually
submitted abstracts, if accepted for presentation, in poster sessions
(see below) on the basis of their relative distance from the special
topic.
POSTER SESSIONS: Poster sessions are largely devoted to papers of
general interest. All posters will stay up for a whole day. Authors of
posters will be expected to be available for discussion during a
period when no other sessions are held. Individually submitted papers
which are less directly related to the special topic will be placed
here, though it is also possible to submit papers directly for the
poster sessions. (All abstracts, including those for poster
presentations, will be printed in the set of abstracts provided at the
beginning of the conference.)
PANELS: Panels take the form of a series of closely related lectures
on a specific topic, which may or may not be directly related to the
special topic of the conference. They may consist of one, two or three
units of 90 minutes. Within each panel unit a maximum of four
15-minute presentations are given consecutively, followed by a minimum
of 30 minutes of discussion (either devoted entirely to an open
discussion, or taken up in part by comments by a discussant or
discussants). Panels are composed of contributions attracted by
panel organizers, combined with individually submitted papers when
judged appropriate by the Conference Committee in consultation with
the panel organizers. All panel contributions, whether attracted by
panel organizers or individually submitted, pass through the same
refereeing process and have to be submitted in accordance with the
same rules (see `Call for papers' below ). Typically, written
versions or extensive outlines of all panel contributions should be
available before the conference to facilitate discussion.
