The goal of the conference is to promote both theoretical and applied research
in pragmatics, and to bring together scholars who are interested in different
subfields of pragmatics (philosophical, linguistic, cognitive, social,
intercultural, interlanguage, etc.). Three main topics of the conference are
as follows:

(i) Pragmatic theories: neo-Gricean approaches, relevance theory, theory of
mind, meaning, role of context, grammaticalization, semantics-pragmatics
interface, explicature, implicature, speech act theory, presuppositions,
im/politeness, experimental pragmatics, etc.

(ii) Intercultural, cross-cultural and societal aspects of pragmatics:
research involving more than one language and culture or varieties of one
language, lingua franca, technologically mediated communication, bilinguals’
and heritage speakers’ language use, intercultural misunderstandings, service
encounters, effect of dual language and multilingual systems on the
development and use of pragmatic skills, etc. 

(iii) Applications: usage and corpus-based approaches, pragmatic competence,
teachability and learnability of pragmatic skills, pragmatic variation,
developmental pragmatics, cross-cultural pragmatics, etc.
