The 9th International Conference on Intercultural Pragmatics and Communication
(INPRA) will be held 12-14 June 2020 at the University of Queensland,
Brisbane, Australia. The main aim of INPRA is to bring together researchers
from around the world who have diverse scientific backgrounds but share the

mind, meaning, role of context, semantics-pragmatics interface, explicature,
implicature, grammaticalisation, speech act theory, presuppositions,
(im)politeness, etc.

(ii) Intercultural, cross-cultural and societal aspects of pragmatics:
research involving more than one language and culture or varieties of one
language, lingua franca, computer mediated communication, bilinguals' and
heritage speakers' language use, intercultural misunderstandings, effect of
dual language and multilingual systems on the development and use of pragmatic
skills, language of aggression and conflict, etc.

(iii) Applications: usage and corpus-based approaches, pragmatic competence,
teachability and learnability of pragmatic skills, pragmatic variations within
one language and across languages, developmental pragmatics, etc.
