Meeting Description:

The annual conference for M.A. and PhD graduates started in 2000 at the
Institute of the Czech Language of the Academy of Sciences, Prague, and has
been continued since 2001 at Palacký University in Olomouc. The main topic of
this year is the communication across cultures, and the special attention is
going to be paid to the following questions: 

- What is a role of various linguistic disciplines (contrastive and
intercultural linguistics, ethnolinguistics) in the discussion on the
intercultural communication?
- Is the communication across cultures just about a face-to-face communication
between the members of different cultures, or more about its medialization? 
- Do the diverse forms of communication tend to adapt to any intercultural
norms? Or do we build an inventory of “intercultural” meanings shared within a
diversified cultural domain?

The languages of the conference are: English, Czech and Slovak.


Call for Papers:

Focus of the conference:

Intercultural communication; transculturality; cultural syncretism; culture in
translation; Czech as a foreign language; contrastive linguistics; diachronic
