The Cross-Cultural Pragmatic Study of Intercultural Encounters: (Strictly!)
Language-Anchored Inquiries

Organised by Juliane House and Dániel Z. Kádár

Discussant: Meredith Marra

The aim of this panel is to bring together research dedicated to the
cross-cultural pragmatic investigation of intercultural encounters. As the
organisers of this panel argued in two recent books (House and Kádár 2021;
Edmondson et al. 2022), a key strength of cross-cultural pragmatic research is
that it allows us to investigate intercultural encounters in strictly
language-anchored and bottom-up ways. Cross-cultural pragmatics offers
rigorous and replicable methods to study intercultural encounters with the aid
of language-based evidence only, and without relying on non-linguistic
analytic concepts such as ‘values’ and ‘ideology’. As such, cross-cultural
pragmatic research also neatly complements intercultural pragmatics because it
utilises a very different methodological and ontological universe than the
latter. 

Notwithstanding the potential of cross-cultural pragmatic research in
advancing the analysis of intercultural encounters, to the best of our
knowledge little attempt has been made to bring together cross-cultural
pragmaticians to systematically study intercultural encounters from a strictly
language-anchored point of view. This panel aims to fill this knowledge gap.
We will request panelists to devote particular attention to aspects of
cross-cultural pragmatic methodology with relevance for the study of
intercultural encounters. In particular, we encourage panelists to focus on
the problem of how it is possible to interconnect instances of pragmatic
misunderstanding which emerge in intercultural interaction with
linguaculturally embedded conventions that trigger such instances of
misunderstanding. 

The proposed panel is open to experts of any language and culture. All talks
are expected to be delivered within 18 minutes, which will allow us to involve
Meredith Marra as a Discussant to reflect on the talks after each session. A
selection of the studies presented in the panel will be published as a journal
special issue.

colleagues:

- Karin Aijmer
