Meeting Description:

The goal of the conference is to promote both theoretical and applied research
in pragmatics, and to bring together scholars who are interested in different
subfields of pragmatics (philosophical, linguistic, cognitive, social,
intercultural, interlanguage, etc.). The  four  main topical strands of the
conference are as follows:

(i)Pragmatics  theories:  neo-Gricean  approaches,  relevance  theory,  theory
 of  mind,  meaning,  role  of context,  common  ground,  semantics-pragmatics
 interface,  explicature,  implicature,  speech  act theory, presuppositions,
grammaticalization, im/politeness, etc.

(ii)Experimental  pragmatics:  models  of  language  and  meaning, 
experimental  techniques,  scalar implicatures, reference resolution,
interpretation of figurative language, etc.

(iii)Intercultural,  cross-cultural  and  societal  aspects  of  pragmatics: 
research  involving  more  than one  language  and  culture,  or  varieties 
of  one  language,  intercultural  pragmatics,  interlanguage pragmatics,   
variational    pragmatics,    social    pragmatics,    lingua    franca,   
computer-mediated communication    (CMC),    bilinguals’    and    heritage   
speakers’    language    use,    intercultural misunderstandings, effect of
dual language and multilingual systems on the development and use of pragmatic
skills, language of aggression and conflict, etc.

(iv)Applications:   usage   and   corpus-based   approaches,   pragmatic  
competence,   teachability   and learnability  of  pragmatic  skills, 
pragmatic  variations  within  one  language and  across  languages,
developmental pragmatics, cyber pragmatics, etc.

In  addition  to proposals  for these topical  strands  we  invite  proposals 
for  a  special Panel  on  African American Pragmatics to promote research in
this underserved field. This panel is chaired by Lisa Green, University of
Massachusetts, Amherst, USA.
