Meeting Description:

''Intercultural Service Encounters in a Global World: From Face-to-Face to
E-Service Interaction''

Panel for the 3rd International Conference of the American Pragmatics
Association (AMPRA) November 4-6, 2016 (Indiana University)
http://indiana.edu/~ampra/home/  

Research on service encounters has looked at different dimensions of language
use in context in commercial and non-commercial settings, mainly in
face-to-face interactions in monolingual contexts (Kerbrat-Orechionni &
Traverso 2008; Merritt 1976; Placencia 2008). A wide variety of theoretical
and methodological frameworks have been used to examine pragmatic and
discursive dimensions of talk during the negotiation of service with data from
different languages and language varieties (for an overview see
Félix-Brasdefer 2015).The aim of this panel is to consider novel research
questions in under explored intercultural settings, including multilingual
contexts where the language of buying and selling is a lingua franca or in
situations of languages in contact.


Call for Papers: 

Researchers are invited to submit an abstract of research that examines
interactional data in naturalistic commercial or non-commercial settings
either in face-to-face or in online environments (online buying and selling).
Abstracts should address at least one of the following topics using natural
data in face-to-face or e-service encounters in intercultural, bilingual,
study abroad, or multilingual contexts: politeness and impoliteness,
pragmatic/sociolinguistic variation, intercultural competence, languages in
contact, prosody, discourse structure, address forms, speech act sequences,
and non-verbal communication. Abstracts should mention the objective,
theoretical framework, data, setting, and should include at least a
preliminary analysis of the data (350-400 words, plus references).

Abstracts should be sent to César Félix-Brasdefer (cfelixbr at indiana.edu) by
April 1, 2016.
