contextualized interactions.

Challenges. We are now inviting proposals for 30-minute presentations (20
minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion), focusing on but not
limited to:

- theorizing in internet pragmatics
- convention and innovation of internet-mediated language use 
- pragmatics of social media
- internet genres 
- memes in internet-mediated interaction
- internet-mediated (im)politeness, facework and relational work
- presentation and interpretation of selves and identities in and across
internet-mediated interaction
- pragmatic acts, intentions and meanings in internet-mediated discourse
- figurative language use in internet-mediated discourse
- philosophical issues of internet pragmatics

Professor Francisco Yus will organize a workshop on internet pragmatics during
the conference.
