Call Deadline: 01-Oct-2020 

Meeting Description:

In 2021 the 14th meeting of the international Symposium on (Im)Politeness and
the 7th meeting of the biannual iMean(interaction and meaning)conference will
be merged for a meeting on the ''pragmatics of translation'' on 24-26 June,
2021. We hope that you will hold the dates and be able to join us.


Call for Papers:  

We will invite papers on translation outcomes and processes which highlight a
pragmatic angle of understanding the transfer of language phenomena across
cultures and intra-culturally. We approach translation from a broad
perspective, including written textual translation from source to target
language as well other modalities such as signing, simultaneous translation or
audiovisual translation by professional and lay people. We also include topics
such as explaining meaning to each other or translating sensual experience
into language.

We hope that many people will address both (im)politeness/delicacy as well as
translation issues within an interactional/pragmatics frame. However, in the
tradition of both the symposium of politeness and i-mean, we also welcome
papers on (im)politeness and interactional meaning more generally (space
provided).

The submission of abstracts will be handled via the conftool software:
https://www.conftool.com/sympol-imean21 

For important dates, see:
