Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics 

Call Deadline: 15-Sep-2016 

Meeting Description:

This 15th edition of the International Pragmatics Conferences has as its
special theme: ''Pragmatics in the real world''  

Pragmatics is underpinned by the idea that language use is a form of social
action with real world consequences tied to the specific context of language
use. Different theoretical perspectives under a broad conception of pragmatics
articulate the notion of social action differently and hence arrive at
differing perspectives on the relationships both between language and other
forms of social action and between language use and conceptions of context.
The insights provided by pragmatics research into the essential connections
between language use, context and social action facilitate detailed
understanding of real world contexts, practices and institutions.
Simultaneously, analyses of pragmatic aspects of language in real world
settings have been shown to inform our theoretical understanding of the
relationships between language, meaning, context and social action.   

The special theme is related to a number of branches of research, including:

- Language and Politics
- Language in Forensic Settings
- Language and Education 
- Language and Health
- Language in Clinical Settings
- Language and Social Change
- Language and Social Media
- Language and Identity   

In addition to the special theme, the conference is open to all topics
relevant to linguistic pragmatics in its broadest sense as the
interdisciplinary (cognitive, social, cultural) science of language use.

Confirmed plenary speakers:

Peter Auer (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg)
Deborah Cameron (University of Oxford)
Colleen Cotter (Queen Mary University of london)
John Heritage (University of California at Los Angeles)
Elizabeth Stokoe (Loughborough University)
Li Wei (University College London)
John Wilson (University of Ulster)


2nd Call for Papers: 

CMC Pragmatics of L2 Discourse

Papers are invited on “classic” pragmatic phenomena such as stance as
instantiated in CMC and/or on CMC-specific phenomena such as emoticons, users
IDs, or hashtags. They may focus on any aspect of L2 use in computer-mediated
communication, including issues of structure (e.g., genre characteristics,
expressivity), meaning (e.g., meaning of emoticons, CMC cues, silence,
non-bona fide communication), interaction management (e.g., interactivity,
timing, coherence) and social phenomena (e.g., community, identity, power) in
L2 networked discourse. In their empirically-based investigations, panelists
will critically reflect (a) on the interplay between form, function, and
context and (b) on the theoretical implications the empirical results may
have. Papers addressing the conference theme are especially welcome.

Please send your abstract of no more than 500 words to Ilona Vandergriff at
vdgriff at sfsu.edu by September 15, 2016. Please note that all presenters at the
International Pragmatics Conference must be IPRA members.

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.
