Meeting Description:

Contributions are invited to a panel on ‘Pragmatic Approaches to Literary
Analysis’ to be held at the 15th International Pragmatics Conference, Belfast,
Northern Ireland, UK, 16-21 July 2017.

Panel organisers: Dr Billy Clark (Middlesex University) and Professor Siobhan
Chapman (University of Liverpool)

This panel will bring together researchers working with various frameworks of
pragmatic theory, in order to consider what pragmatics can offer to our
analysis, interpretation and evaluation of literary texts. As organisers, we
will be inclusive in relation to pragmatic approaches, and frameworks for
discussion may include but are not limited to: Gricean and neo-Gricean Theory,
Relevance Theory, Speech Act Theory, Im/politeness Theory. The notion of
‘literariness’ will also be interpreted broadly, and we welcome submissions
that focus on a wide range of genres: prose, poetry and drama, including film
and TV drama. Within this broad structure, proposals are encouraged which make
specific suggestions about how pragmatic theory can be applied to the analysis
of a particular literary text or texts, or to understanding the more general
processes of literary criticism and interpretation. 

The aim of the panel is to consider a range of work that is currently being
undertaken in relation to pragmatic approaches to literary analysis, and
through discussion to consider possible future directions in the field. It
will contribute to more general debates about pragmatic theory, too, since it
will explore the analytic and explanatory potential of different theoretical
approaches. The panel will necessarily highlight distinctions and contrasts
between pragmatic theories. But it will also bring out complementarities,
shared aims and assumptions, and ways in which different pragmatic theories
might make different contributions to our understanding of literary texts.

also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
