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).
