Call for Papers


American Pragmatics Association


The 2nd Conference of the American Pragmatics Association will take place
on October 17-19, 2014 at the University of California, Los Angeles, in Los
Angeles, California, USA.


The goal of the joint conference is to promote both theoretical and applied
research in pragmatics, and bring together scholars who are interested in
different subfields of pragmatics (philosophical, linguistic, cognitive,
social, intercultural, interlanguage, etc.). Three main topics of the
conference are as follows:

1. Pragmatics theories: neo-Gricean approaches, relevance theory, theory of
mind, meaning, role of context, grammaticalization, semantics-pragmatics
interface, explicature, implicature, speech act theory, presuppositions,
im/politeness, experimental pragmatics, etc.


2. Intercultural, cross-cultural and societal aspects of pragmatics:
research involving more than one language and culture or varieties of one
language, lingua franca, technologically mediated communication,
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, etc.
