Panel: The Cross-Cultural Pragmatics of Language and Politics

Organised by Dániel Z. Kádár and Juliane House

Discussant: Zohar Kampf

The aim of this panel is to provide a platform for engaging in cross-cultural
pragmatic research in the area of language and politics. 
The organisers of this panel recently argued (see House and Kádár 2022: 132)
that language and politics is an emotively and ideologically loaded area.
Because of this, it is important for the analyst to attempt to leave behind
personal sympathies and antipathies, ideological presumptions, etc. in the
study of political language use. Contrastive cross-cultural pragmatics offers
itself as a particularly useful field for the study of political language use.
This is due to the contrastive take of cross-cultural pragmatics, which allows
researchers to relativise both their own viewpoints and the phenomena they set
out to investigate. Cross-cultural pragmatics also enables more
anti-essentialist and non-ethnocentric interpretations of instances of
political language use.

Our goal in the proposed panel is to capitalise on the above-outlined strength
of cross-cultural pragmatics and bring together high-calibre scholars who have
worked on language and politics. The goal of the panel is not only to compare
political language use in a wide range of linguacultures, including
typologically distant ones (e.g. German–Japanese, English–Chinese, etc.), but
also to extend contrastive explorations onto the comparative analysis of
various genres and modes of communication of political language use. We hope
that the panel will not only open new vistas of pragmatic research on language
and politics but also provide new synergies between scholars working on
pragmatics and other areas such as discourse analysis, communication studies,
and media. To achieve this objective, we intend to advertise the proposed
panel both on Linguistlist and mailing lists of other academic communities. 

The proposed panel will be open to experts of any language and culture. The
presentations are expected to take 18 minutes, which will allow us to involve
Zohar Kampf as a Discussant to reflect on the talks after each session. A
selection of the studies presented will be published as a journal special
issue.
