Meeting Description:

We are delighted to announce the 2nd International Conference on
Discourse Pragmatics, which will be held online from October 20 to 23,
2023. The conference theme is "Discourse Pragmatics: Current Topics
and Future Trends."

Discourse pragmatics is a rapidly developing field that explores the
ways in which language is used to communicate meaning in context. How
do people use language to achieve their communicative goals? How does
context influence the interpretation of meaning? What are the
pragmatics of different types of discourse, such as conversation,
storytelling, and academic writing? How do different languages differ
in their pragmatics? How are the pragmatics of language affected by
new technologies? To what extent does emotion or morality govern
discourse and communication? This conference aims to bring together
established and emerging scholars from diverse backgrounds to explore
the latest research and trends in discourse pragmatics.

This conference will be hosted by Zhejiang International Studies
University, located in Hangzhou, China, organized by the School of
English Studies and the Institute of Discourse Pragmatics, and
co-organized by the Journal of Zhejiang International Studies
University, Springer, and John Benjamins. We are looking forward to
your participation in this great event.
