Meeting Description:

The is the 19th edition of the International Pragmatics Conferences
organized by the International Pragmatics Association (IPrA;
https://pragmatics.international).

Special theme: PRAGMATICS IN ACTION
The aim of this conference is to bring the notion of action back to
the forefront of pragmatics, to encourage cross-fertilization of ideas
and approaches across the many (sub)disciplines with which pragmatics
engages, and to demonstrate the difference that a pragmatics in action
can make in the world. Given the central importance of action to
pragmatics we do not envisage this so much as being a special topic or
focus for the conference, but rather as a theme that is intended to
help consolidate and unite pragmatics, as well as pushing it forward
in exciting new directions that demonstrate its real world relevance
and importance.

As on all earlier occasions, all topics are welcome that are relevant
to the field of linguistic pragmatics in its widest sense as the
interdisciplinary science of language use.

2nd Call for Panel Contributions:

International Pragmatics Association Conference, 22-27 June, 2025,
Brisbane, Australia

Pragmatics of health communication in non-English languages and
cultures
Health communication constitutes a broad area of inquiry that
“includes both speech and writing as well as emerging digital modes of
communication that increasingly mediate the practices of contemporary
healthcare and public health messaging” (Brooks and Hunt, 2021). As
health communication is burgeoning, pragmatics is pivotal in
understanding, analysing and documenting medical encounters along the
various approaches that shape health discourses. As one type of
healthcare communication, doctor-patient interactions, for example,
have long benefited from a wide range of pragmatic theories from
´meaning and action co-construction (Heritage and Maynard, 2006) to
their underlying socio-moral orders of epidemics and deontics
(Stivers, et al., 2018) and relationship management in context´
(Scarvaglieri, et al., 2022). Despite the promising expansion of
pragmatics to various medical contexts and the proliferation of
approaches and methods in recent years (cf. Martin, 2014), the
pragmatics of healthcare suffers from a data imbalance in terms of the
languages and cultures it explores. Most studies have hitherto focused
on the data in English and among non-English languages in the West,
but have less represented non-English, non-Western languages and
cultures. This scenario warrants a balancing attempt to integrate
these languages and cultures into the broader spectrum of medical
pragmatics. Such an attempt will not only lead to a better
understanding of the social institution of medicine universally but
also to the possibility of comparison of healthcare communication
across a variety of languages and cultures.
To address the problem outlined above, we call for panel contributions
that focus on the pragmatics of healthcare communication in
non-English languages and cultures. In terms of topics of
investigation, we are open to various aspects of healthcare
communication in medical contexts including interactions between the
health providers and receivers (e.g. doctors with patients) and
between the health providers themselves (e.g. doctors with
doctors/nurses) in hospitals, clinics, private practices, etc. The
panel brings together researchers who draw upon various pragmatic
theories and methods to investigate a variety of medical contexts in
their languages and cultures. We welcome contributions on the
following areas but also remain open to topics not included here but
match our general focus.

Pragmatics of relationship management in medical encounters
Pragmatic action, meaning, activities, and other practices
Cultural dynamics and common ground
Patient participation and cultures
Patient education and counselling
Cross-cultural and intercultural medical pragmatics
Participation framework
digital and multimodal pragmatics

We invite in-person contributions to our panel that constitute a
20-minute oral presentation followed by a 10-minute discussion.
Abstracts should be directly submitted via the 19th International
Pragmatics Association Conference Website
(https://ipra2025.exordo.com) by the corresponding authors (IPrA
membership is mandatory) by November 1, 2024. Abstracts should not
exceed the limit of 500 words and cannot be less than 250 words. They
should represent completed or close to completion research with some
explicit results and contain information about the purpose, research
questions, design, method, findings, and implications of the study.
Informal inquiries may be addressed to one of the organisers listed
