Meeting Description:

The URPP Language and Space of the University of Zurich is pleased to announce
a one-day Symposium on Multimodal Im/politeness: Gesture, Sign and Spatial
Configurations.

In face-to-face interaction communication is intrinsically multimodal, but
im/politeness research has only recently extended its scope to this aspect of
communication leading to the emergence of a vibrant interest in multimodal
components of im/politeness, such as prosody, gesture and bodily signals and
also non-manual features in sign language. The goal of this symposium is to
bring together researchers whose work focuses on multimodal aspects of
im/politeness and who work in the areas of pragmatics in general, pragmatic
development, gesture and multimodality, sign language, social psychology,
language and space, and language and cognition. It will be an opportunity to
share the latest research on multimodal aspects of im/politeness and to
advance new insights in the field of im/politeness studies.

The following scholars have confirmed their participation as plenary speakers
at the symposium:

Lucien Brown, Senior Lecturer, Korean Studies, Monash University
Rachel Mapson, Lecturer in BSL/ English Interpreting, Queen Margret University
Takaaki Shochi, Associate Professor, CLLE UMR 5263 & LABRI UMR 5800 CNRS


Call for Papers:

The symposium welcomes submissions related to:

Gesture and bodily signals and im/politeness
Acoustics, prosody and im/politeness
Sign language and im/politeness
Language acquisition and multimodal im/politeness
Language, space and multimodal im/politeness

Especially welcome are contributions concerning usually more marginalized
groups in im/politeness research such as young and old people, as well as
non-WEIRD populations in order to gain a more diverse understanding of
im/politeness-related behaviors in interaction.

Talks will be 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions and discussion. There
will also be a poster session.

Important Dates:

April 1, 2020: Deadline for abstracts
April 30, 2020: Notification about acceptance
October 23, 2020: Date of the symposium

The symposium is open and free of charge. Please send abstracts of max. 300
words (excluding references), no later than April 1, 2020, to:
Iris Hübscher: iriscarmela.huebscher at uzh.ch 
Andreas H. Jucker: ahjucker at es.uzh.ch
