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:

Pragmatic Synthesis: Exploring a Single Dataset through Multifaceted
Approaches (Andrew Barke, Todd Allen, Momoyo Shimazu - Kansai
University)

The field of pragmatics encompasses a wide range of approaches,
frameworks, theoretical foundations, and methods (Cummings, 2013).
This panel acknowledges the significance of the contributions these
diverse approaches make in the analysis of spoken discourse. While
scholars employ various theoretical and methodological strategies to
examine speech, individual studies are generally limited in the
perspective they can provide on the data under consideration, and
often overlook alternative interpretations (e.g., Clift & Haugh,
2021). This panel takes the view that multiple pragmatic analyses
focused on the analysis of a single data set can yield deeper
understandings and more intricate insights into the workings of
communicative events, thus offering a more holistic account of spoken
discourse (Yardley & Bishop, 2008).

Researchers have emphasized the importance of data triangulation and
mixed methodological approaches to validate pragmatic studies
(Taguchi, 2018). However, the literature also reveals that few studies
employ multiple methodologies (e.g., qualitative and quantitative) and
approaches (e.g., discourse analysis, corpus, and sociopragmatics) to
analyse a single data set (Taguchi, 2018). Yet, such a multifaceted
approach can be highly beneficial as it offers more nuanced
understandings of the data, enabling researchers to corroborate their
findings and identify complex patterns of behaviour, and possible
relationships between different behaviours, through multiple levels of
analysis. Employing diverse analytical approaches enhances the
robustness and credibility of the research, mitigates potential
biases, and ensures that conclusions are thoroughly substantiated from
multiple perspectives (Haugh, Kádár & Mills, 2013).

Focusing on a single data set from a small hospitality establishment
in Japan, the panel organisers exemplify various pragmatic elements
through both qualitative and quantitative perspectives, using
discourse analytic, sociopragmatic, and discursive methodological
approaches. The pragmatic elements explored include identity,
politeness, frequency of language use, and the sequential positioning
during discourse.

Proposals are therefore sought from other scholars using a similar
multifaceted approach in their pragmatic analysis of a single data set
and those interested in pragmatic methodologies.

Abstracts should be submitted through the conference website
(https://pragmatics.international/page/CfP2025) before 1 November
2024.
