Meeting Description:

The 9th International Conference on Intercultural Pragmatics and Communication
(INPRA) will be held 12-14 June 2020 at the University of Queensland,

philosophical, social, and intercultural perspective on language and
communication.


Venue:

Prof Michael Haugh (The University of Queensland, Australia)
Dr Valeria Sinkeviciute (The University of Queensland, Australia)
Prof István Kecskés (State University of New York, Albany, USA)

Final Call for Papers:

Abstracts (max. 300 words) are invited for papers on any topic relevant to the
fields of pragmatics and intercultural communication, including but not
limited to:

(i) Pragmatics theories: neo-Gricean approaches, relevance theory, theory of
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.
