Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics 

Meeting Description: 

Pragmatics is currently a wide and quickly developing field of research,
encompassing very diverse topics and methodologies. In this one-day
conference, four leading scholars in the field, Stavros Assimakopoulos, Geert
Brône, Arnulf Deppermann, and Marina Terkourafi, are invited to present the
way they define and integrate three core issues for pragmatics in their
research:
(1) the nature and role of context; 
(2) the definition of speaker intention; 
(3) the use of empirical data. 

They will interact on these topics with Thierry Herman, Jérome Jacquin, Steve
Oswald, and Sandrine Zufferey, four Swiss scholars working on various aspects
of pragmatics. 

The conference, initially planned at the University of Bern in Switzerland,
will be hosted entirely online and can be followed on YouTube. Questions can
be addressed to the speakers via the YouTube chat. The event is open to
everyone.
