Meeting Description:

Cross-cultural Pragmatics: Multiple Perspectives and Methodologies

Organised by: 
Juliane House (Hamburg University)
Daniel Kadar (Dalian University of Foreign Languages/Research Institute for
Linguistics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences)

The aim of this panel, to take place at the next IPrA conference, is to
provide innovative explorations in the field of cross-cultural pragmatics, by
involving contributors who approach language and culture in a predominantly
bottom-up and corpus-based way. While cross-cultural pragmatics has been a
popular area in pragmatic research for a long time, we believe that it is a
timely endeavor to reinvigorate the field by bringing together new research
that approaches cross-cultural pragmatics from multiple perspectives and by
using a variety of methodological approaches, including modern
technologically-informed ones. Such a multiperspectival and multimethod take
on cross-cultural pragmatics seems for us to be important for various reasons.
Firstly, it can help us to move beyond traditional essentialist views of
language and culture, and also to identify conventionalised, linguaculturally
situated patterns of language use from innovative angles. Secondly, through
such an approach, innovative research methodologies can be brought to the
contrastive analysis of expressions, speech acts and discursive practices.
Thirdly, bringing various strands of research together can contribute to
forging synergies between cross-cultural pragmatics and other areas of
pragmatic inquiry.
