Meeting Description:

The Institute of Modern Greek Studies [Manolis Triandaphyllidis Foundation],
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, is pleased to announce its 3rd Symposium
on the Greek language in spoken communication, to be held in Thessaloniki on
24-25 June 2019. The Symposium is organized in the framework of the
Institute’s activities on spoken Greek and the research project Greek
Talk-in-interaction and Conversation Analysis. This year its special topic is
the Pragmatic Particles in (Greek) Talk-in-interaction. 

In the study of the Modern Greek language, ‘particles’ (small, uninflected
words) came to the fore already in the early 1950s through the Modern Greek
Syntax (by Ach. Tzartzanos), in which the multifunctionality and heterogeneity
of these linguistic items (conjunctions, adverbs, interjections, prepositions)
became apparent. Contemporary linguistic research has highlighted a multitude
of such items across languages, pointing to the lack (or bleaching) of their
referential meaning in favor of interactional, structural-organizational, etc.
functions. The term ‘pragmatic particles’, employed here, is intended to cover
the wide spectrum of linguistic items/constructions with indexical and
meta-communicative meaning and to serve as a hypernym of the various terms in
use, without commitment to individual delineations and categorizations.

This year’s Symposium will also host a number of talks on pragmatic particles
in other languages, so that discussion of the Greek data can be situated in
the cross-linguistic perspective of talk-in-interaction. 

The keynote speaker of the Symposium will be Professor Emeritus
John Heritage (University of California at Los Angeles).

Moreover, the following experts have confirmed their participation Galina
Bolden (Assoc. Professor, Rutgers University), Yael Maschler (Professor,
University of Haifa), Geoffrey Raymond (Professor, University of California at
Santa Barbara), Marja-Leena Sorjonen (Professor, University of Helsinki).


Call for Papers:

The aim of the Symposium is to examine systematically the functions of
pragmatic particles in Modern Greek as used in ordinary or institutional
interaction. 

All theoretical approaches to the study of pragmatic particles are welcome;
however, due to the specific framework of the Symposium, priority will be
given to papers adopting a Conversation Analysis perspective. In any case, the
basic requirement for paper acceptance is that the analysis and findings be
grounded in empirical data from tape-/video-recordings of naturally occurring
talk. 

Those who wish to participate in the Symposium with a paper are invited to
submit their abstract as an e-mail attachment, both as .doc/.docx and .pdf
files, to particles_2019_ins at phil.gr by 15 January 2019. Notification of
acceptance will be communicated by the end of February 2019. 

In addition to the purpose of the talk, abstracts should specify the kind of
data used, the methodology employed and the main findings of the research.
Abstracts should be 300-400 words long (including references) and should
include the title of the paper, author’s name, affiliation, e-mail address.
