Meeting Description: 

The research group 'Intercultural Pragmatic Studies (English-Spanish): Pragmatic

pleased to announce its Fourth Symposium on Intercultural, Cognitive and Social
Pragmatics (EPICS IV -  Encuentros de Pragmática Intercultural, Cognitiva y

The fourth edition of the symposium will be devoted to '(Im)Politeness and
Interpersonal Communication'. We will be honoured with the presence of Dr.
Miriam Locher, Professor of English Linguistics at the University of Basel
(Switzerland) and Dr. Pilar Garcés-Conejos Blitvich, Professor of Linguistics at
UNC Charlotte (USA), as keynote speakers. 

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 these fields. EPICS IV
also wishes to create awareness among graduating students of the growing
interest in this area of linguistic expertise.
