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.

Peter Auer (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg)
