Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics 

Call Deadline: 25-Apr-2019 

Call for Papers:

Interlanguage pragmatics is a rather vibrant and fruitful area within
pragmatics. Ever since its inception, practitioners in it have looked into the
communicative behaviour of learners of an incredibly wide variety of languages
with a view to unraveling the most serious challenges that they face when
speaking their target language(s), their problems when processing and how they
progress during their learning process across years or educational stages, and
as a result of pedagogical experiences like study-abroad or immersion
programmes. Speech-act realisation, inventory of pragmalinguistic forms
(frequently) deployed to accomplish speech actions, discourse and conversation
management, pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic failures, (im)politeness,
mitigation, rapport management, or comprehension problems at the explicit and
implicit level, to name but some, are among the varied issues that have
attracted the interest of an impressive list of researchers from all over the
world. The wealth of research that they have given rise to has been based on
written and oral data collected through distinct tools and in a number of
contexts that are not solely limited to the classroom. 

Even if relatively younger, instructional pragmatics is offering illuminating
insights into the teaching of specific pragmatic issues and phenomena.
Needless to say, it is inspiring reflections concerning the challenges that
instructors face as regards L2 pragmatics. Informed by theoretical and
empirical research coming from distinct angles, it seeks to endow instructors
with valuable tools and resources to improve their praxis and achieve more
satisfactory results. It is also interested in making L2 learners aware of the
consequences that their way of doing specific actions or behaving in specific
manners may have in the target language community.

Letrônica, a Brazilian open access journal published by the Pontifical
Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, ranked Qualis B1 and indexed in
Diadorim, ERIH PLUS, EZB -Electronic Journals Library, Latindex, Google
Scholar, Portal de períodicos CAPES and Worldwide Scientific and Educational
Library (Sciary), would like to contribute to these two areas of pragmatics.
For this reason, we would like to invite papers for ''Interlanguage and
instructional pragmatics'', a special issue that aims to showcase the breadth
of investigation on the acquisition and teaching of pragmatic issues,
regardless of whether in a foreign or second (or third) language context. 

Concerning interlanguage pragmatics, we would appreciate it if papers could
consider interaction in languages for specific purposes, in domains like the
business industry, the tourism industry or the hospitality industry, to name
but a few, in technology-mediated environments or in face-to-face contexts.
Regarding instructional pragmatics, it would certainly be most helpful if
papers offered innovative methodologies or detected drawbacks of existing
approaches. 

Papers will be double-blind peer-reviewed. Guidelines for authors are
available here:

authorGuidelines.

Cristina Becker Lopes Perna (Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do
