Meeting Description:

“What do people want to do when they write − and what do they actually do?”
(Perrin 2003, 825). This question in the introduction to an issue of the
Journal of Pragmatics has contributed to shifting the focus of writing
research from cognitive to social and pragmatic aspects of text production,
foregrounding the relevance of writers’ pragmatic competence.

Text processes and production are influenced by writers’ cultural and
biographical background, (professional) role in the respective communicative
setting, the concrete communicative situation, as well as the communicative
patterns of the community of practice (Wenger, 1998). At the same time, text
evaluation and text impact depend on readers’ perception and involvement.
These processes, driving and driven by language use in sociocultural contexts,
trigger the topics and foci of research in pragmatics (Verschueren 2001).
Research so far in this field has provided evidence of pragmatic competence as
a key sub-competence of writing and writers (Konstantinidou, Hoefele & Kruse,
2016).

In our panel, we focus on pragmatic aspects of writing in specific
sociocultural context, social settings, and situations of language use. We
investigate both the development and teaching of pragmatic competence in
multilingual and professional settings. By doing so, we reflect on the
relation of pragmatic competence with the quality of both writing processes
and text products and discuss the challenges of measuring pragmatic competence
using automated assessment methods.
