Meeting Description:

The 19th International Pragmatics Conference will be held at the
University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, from 22 to 27 June
2025.

Call for Papers:

We invite contributions to the following panel at the 19th
International Pragmatics Conference:

Social Interaction in East Asian Hospitality Establishments (Organised
by Todd Allen, Andrew Barke, Momoyo Shimazu - Kansai University)

Hospitality establishments in East Asia (e.g., izakayas, tea houses,
and local bars) serve as vibrant hubs of social activities, ranging
from daily transactions to meaningful personal interactions (Futamura
& Sugiyama, 2018). These spaces hold significant social and historical
value (Ohnishi et al., 2012; Farrer, 2021) but are increasingly
threatened by changes in the economy, population, and social values
(Futamura & Sugiyama, 2018).

Despite existing research on similar spaces in Europe and the United
States (e.g., Félix-Brasdefer, 2015), little attention has been paid
to the investigation of such establishments in the Asian context,
particularly from a (socio)pragmatic perspective. Recently, however,
studies such as Allen and Liu (2022, 2024) have, by focusing on
sociopragmatic aspects of Japanese communication in such contexts,
begun to unveil both routine-like behaviours and a diverse range of
interactional activities that include the employment of a variety of
politeness strategies, and that are influenced by various gender
dynamics.

The organisers of this panel will be presenting the results of their
ongoing investigation of sociopragmatic activities in small
hospitality establishments in Japan. Specifically, they will focus on
how ingroup members welcome newcomers to a local Japanese bar during a
first encounter and highlight the pivotal role owners of such
establishments play in facilitating conversation in such encounters.

Proposals are invited from other scholars who also share an interest
in the sociopragmatic activities that occur in small hospitality
establishments in East Asia. This panel is a collaborative effort,
welcoming a variety of methodological approaches (e.g., conversation,
discourse, and discursive analysis) as well as diverse theoretical and
practical perspectives.
