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.
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 UNC Charlotte (USA), as keynote speakers.
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.
