Meeting Description:

This 8th edition of the NDLP conference series aims to respond to a surge of
new research in pragmatics, with a view to bringing together the novel,
empirically, experimentally and clinically based models, and classical
topics/frameworks such as Gricean pragmatics, Speech Act Theory and
presupposition. We encourage papers (re-)examining the semantics-pragmatics
boundary, which has been sometimes blurred by the confrontation of the new and
the traditional frameworks. Proposals are welcome at the intersection of the
philosophy of language and pragmatics dealing with theoretical, methodological
and definitional issues, as well as issues of interdisciplinarity in pragmatic
investigation.

While we specially encourage presentations of theoretical approaches which
have a basis in empirical studies, or allow for experimentally testable
predictions, the conference continues to be open to all kinds of pragmatics
oriented research recognizing pragmatics as a functional (i.e. cognitive,
social and cultural) perspective on language and communication. This applies
to functional studies involving multiple and heterogeneous territories:
everyday discourse, (online) media, education, political and professional
settings, problems of linguistic construction and maintenance of identity,
communicative genres, issues of multilingualism and linguistic pluralism,
pragmatic aspects of translation, pragmatic awareness in foreign language
teaching, and more.

We invite submissions for paper presentations. All submissions should be made
in English. Papers will be allocated 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions.
Abstracts of max. 350 words should be sent by email as a Word attachment to
strus_pl at yahoo.com (Piotr Cap, Conference Chair) by 1 December 2016. Please
include name, affiliation, email address and paper title in the body of the
email. Abstracts will be accepted subject to review by an international
Scientific Committee. Notification of acceptance decisions will be
communicated via email by 15 December 2016.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
