Meeting Description:

The Communication Styles conference is the third in the series with the first
one held in 2013 and the second in 2015. Both of the conferences were followed
by academic publications: a collection of articles entitled Culture's
Software: Communication Styles appeared with Cambridge Scholars publishing
house in 2015 and a good selection of papers has been accepted for publication
in the Styles of Communication journal in 2017. The participants are
encouraged to become familiar with these contributions to better understand
the scope and focus of the conference series.

The conference aims at:

1) Describing changes and development of established communication styles
through the means provided by cultural theorists
2) Defining major culture-specific communication-related concepts as seen from
the contrastive perspective
3) Pursuing cross-cultural research that acknowledges the similarities and
differences between cultural communication styles
4) Exploring the variety of communication styles and their representation in
mass culture and other contexts
5) Investigating the (often covert) ideological dimension of different
communication styles.
    
Specifically, conference presenters are encouraged to focus on the following
areas of research:

- Dimensions of culture
- Narrative and religious aspects of folklore         
- Pragmatics of intercultural communication
- Creativity and tradition in cultural communication
- Artistic communication 
- Humour in culture and society
- Metaphor studies
- Communication in families and across age groups
- Gender communication styles
- Communication in education  
- Media communication styles
- Business and workplace communication
- Communication and ideology
- Cross-cultural aspects of translation
- Cultural and linguistic globalization
- Communication problems and conflicts
