Dear colleagues,

This is just to remind you that the deadline for paper

We have received many interesting proposals, and,
therefore, we would like to encourage all of you who
have not yet sent us one to do so as soon as you can.
Besides, if you are still thinking about attending our
conference, do not hesitate and come to Seville, where
you will enjoy many interesting works, talks, debates,

Kind regards,

LAST CALL FOR PAPERS FOR EPICS II

Dear colleagues,

The research group ‘Intercultural Pragmatic Studies
(English-Spanish): Pragmatic and Discourse Aspects’ of
the University of Seville (Spain) is pleased to
announce its Second Symposium on Intercultural,
Cognitive and Social Pragmatics (EPICS II – 
Encuentros de Pragmática Intercultural, Cognitiva y
Social), to be held in May 26-28 2004. 

The second edition of the symposium will be devoted to
the introduction of the new journal  “Intercultural
Pragmatics”, published by Mouton de Gruyter. The
journal’s editor-in-chief, Dr. Istvan Kecskes,
Professor of Linguistics and Education at the SUNY at
Albany and Mr. Peter Grundy, Associate Principal
Lecturer, English Language Centre, at Northumbria
University, and member of the advisory board of the
journal, have confirmed their presence as the
symposium’s keynote speakers. Also, a plenary session
of the symposium will be dedicated to a formal
introduction of “Intercultural Pragmatics” during
which the participants will be able to meet the
editor-in-chief, some of the board members, and
representatives from Mouton the Gruyter to discuss the
mission, policy and content of the journal. 

	The Symposium will serve as a forum where applied
linguists and practitioners of Pragmatics and
Discourse Analysis can meet, share experiences,
discuss common problems, and present papers on their
latest research in the field. EPICS II also wishes to
create awareness among graduating students of the
growing interest in this area of linguistic expertise.

SUBMISSIONS
We welcome original papers, written in English (45
minutes in length, the last 10 minutes will be devoted
to questions and discussion) on any topic relevant to
the mission of “Intercultural Pragmatics”.  The
journal is especially interested in papers that: 

-	explore the implications of pragmatics research for
theoretical developments and practical applications in
the fields of second language acquisition and
intercultural communication,
-	discuss language in use in the context of
cross-cultural interaction,
-	analyze pragmatics research findings from the
perspective of bi- and multilingual development, 
-	study the nature of interaction of bi- and
multilinguals and language learners,
-	investigate the effect of dual language and
multilingual systems on the development and use of
pragmatics skills,
-	examine the teachability and learnability of
pragmatic skills in instructional environments.

words) accompanied by a step-by-step outline of the
