Meeting Description:

Research on silence as a topic in pragmatics has widened since it appeared
first in the 1980s. In the early stages the number of works, be they books or
articles, could be counted on the fingers of no more than two hands. Early
work on silence focused on the phenomenon in conversation, such as pauses
discussed by Sacks et al. (1974) in their seminal work. This was followed by
the Tannen and Saville Troike volume of articles in 1985, and by Jaworski
(1993). Jaworski, two years later, produced a volume of articles on silence,
with extensions of silence in other fields, too, such as in sociolinguistics
and ethnography, in the arts, often with a metaphorical meaning of “silence”.
Research on silence in relation to the right of silence in legal proceedings
in criminal law also began to appear (Boer 1990, Kurzon 1995, Cotterill 2005,
Heydon 2006).
Since then, there have been a number of books on silence from a
linguistic/pragmatic perspective (e.g. Kurzon 1998, Nakane 2007, Schroeter
2017), special issues of journals on silence (e.g. Multilingua  Vol. 24:1-2,
2005; Journal of Pragmatics Vol. 43, 2011), extending the domain of the topic,
as well as single articles. It has become a well-established subfield in
pragmatics.
The aim of the panel is to offer an opportunity to scholars who have recently
published on silence -- and scholars who are thinking of doing so – to present
new work on the topic. We have already turned to a number of scholars (and
have received positive replies from scholars in Australia, the United Kingdom,
the United States, Malaysia and Israel), who have proposed papers not only on
silence in conversation analysis, on the right of silence, on silence in
political discourse, but also on silence in intercultural situations, on
silence in graphic novels, and on the phenomenon of silencing in spoken, in
written and in digital discourse.


Call for Papers: 

The invitation to join this panel is open of course to all who wish to
contribute to the research in this field. Abstracts of 250-500 words should be
submitted by October 25, 2020 through the website of the IPrA. For full
submission instructions, please see:
https://pragmatics.international/page/CfP. Before submitting the abstract,
contributors have to be members of the International Pragmatics Association
(https://pragmatics.international/page/CategoriesFees). It is also suggested
that potential contributors contact the panel organizer
(kurzon at research.haifa.ac.il) well before the  October 25 deadline, so things
can run smoothly afterwards. Thus, the acceptance of abstracts can be carried
out very quickly.
