Meeting Description:

Today to an even larger extent than in the past centuries, communication frequently takes place between individuals and institutions representing different national and cultural backgrounds. This has resulted in a vast body of theoretical discussions on the relation between language, culture and discourse, as well as in the emergence of empirical research on intercultural encounters.

We welcome studies, of theoretical and empirical character, on the role of pragmalinguistic differences and different conventions manifested in speech and text genres in cross-cultural contexts, as well as on the effects of power relations upon the forms of intercultural discourse.

Social change, international political campaigning, linguistic minorities, advertising, management, corporate internal communication, and public media discourse are all within the range of subjects which we aim to be dealt with at the conference.
