Meeting Description:

The Pushkin State Russian Language Institute, in cooperation with Linguistics
Institute at the Russian Academy of Sciences, University of Salzburg and
Charles University Eastern European Institute, invite researchers to take part
in the International Research and Practice Conference entitled “Crossing
Boundaries: Intercultural Communication in a Global Context.”

The conference will be held February 14-16, 2018, at the Pushkin State Russian
Language Institute.
The dynamics of sociocultural changes in the modern global world reveal the
diversity in the way intercultural communication exists in a multiethnic
environment. The conference is expected to consider the most acute and dynamic
processes taking place in Russian and other language cultures, through the
prism of today’s research approaches, formed in different countries and in
line with different scientific schools and trends. In particular, we will be
focusing on the culture theory, cultural differences, modern technologies in
intercultural communication, as well as digital communication.
The aim of the conference is to achieve ''methodological understanding''
between researchers in the field of intercultural communication.
The working languages of the conference will be Russian and English.
The form of participation in the conference is full-time.

The topics will include:

- The Methodological basis of Intercultural Communication
-- The terminology of intercultural communication: intercultural –
transcultural, linguistic and cultural studies (Russian: “линвострановедение”)
– cultural linguistics (Russian: “лингвокультурология”), etc. 
-- Anthropological theories and their role and place in intercultural
communication
-- The role of modern technologies in intercultural communication: working
with parallel text corpora, psycholinguistic experiments, tests, surveys,
included observations, self-descriptions, etc.  
-- Cultural quotient (CQ): ways to measure and test it
-- Technologies for predicting errors related to cultural interference

- Russian language culture in comparison with other language cultures:
universal vs culturally specific in language and communication
-- Cross-cultural description of lexical concepts, phraseological units,
formulas for speech etiquette; translation issues
-- Non-verbal semiotics in the aspect of intercultural communication:
gestures, facial expressions, behaviors  
-- International communication “hot spots” and the typology of communication
failures 
-- The image of “otherness” or “foreign-ness” in Russian language culture in
comparison with other language cultures; ethnic stereotypes and the
particularity of how they function in the modern world

- Russian language culture in comparison with other language cultures: a
cross-cultural analysis of literary and film texts
- Bilingualism and intercultural communication 
- The linguodidactic aspect of intercultural communication

Plenary papers will last 30 minutes. Sectional papers will last 20 minutes.
