Call for Papers:

The International Conference on Intercultural Pragmatics and
Communication (INPRA) is a biennial meeting, and this will be its 10th
edition. The main aim of the INPRA conference is to bring together
researchers from around the world who have diverse scientific
backgrounds and share the same field of interest – pragmatics, being
perceived as a cognitive, philosophical, social, and intercultural
perspective on language and communication. The conference promotes
connections between pragmatic theory and its application in practice.

We welcome contributions on the following topics:

1) Pragmatics theories: neo-Gricean approaches, relevance theory,
theory of mind, meaning, role of context, semantics-pragmatics
interface, explicature, implicature, grammaticalisation, speech act
theory, presuppositions, im/politeness, experimental pragmatics, etc.
2) Experimental pragmatics: models of language and meaning,
experimental techniques, scalar implicatures, reference resolution,
interpretation of figurative language, etc.
3) Intercultural, cross-cultural and societal aspects of pragmatics:
research involving more than one language and culture or varieties of
one language, variational pragmatics, lingua franca, computer mediated
communication (CMC), bilinguals’ and heritage speakers’ language use,
intercultural misunderstandings, effect of dual language and
multilingual systems on the development and use of pragmatic skills,
language of aggression and conflict, etc.
3) Applications: usage and corpus-based approaches, pragmatic
competence, teachability and learnability of pragmatic skills,
pragmatic variations within one language and across languages,
developmental pragmatics, cyber pragmatics, etc.
Abstracts must be in English, max. 300 words in length and should
include no more than 5 references. Choose the most appropriate topic
category for your proposal among those indicated in the conference
description (e.g., Pragmatic theories).

Abstracts should be anonymous and will be double-blind peer-reviewed.
They should include sufficient details to allow reviewers to judge the
scientific merits of the work.

Conference presentations will be allowed 20 minutes, plus 5 minutes
for questions. All presentations will be in English. This conference
is an in-person event, so online presentations will not be possible.

Virtual videoposters will be uploaded to a virtual poster session
gallery and will remain available to registered participants for the
entire duration of the conference and for two more weeks after the
conclusion of the event. Participants will be able to leave comments
and questions. Video-poster presenters should remember to check if
there are any comments and reply in a timely fashion. Videoposters can
include presenters on camera or voiceover. Presenters will have to
submit video posters in mp4 format commenting on a static or dynamic
infographic in max. 5 minutes. Videos longer than 5 minutes will be
