Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics

Meeting Description:

In view of the ever-growing interest in the phenomena of
(im)politeness in historical lingua-cultures and of the recent
theoretical developments in this expanding field, the Historical
Politeness Network for Ancient Languages (HPNAC) is organizing the
online conference “Recent trends and developments in Historical
Im/Politeness Research”.

The aim of this meeting is to bring together new and engaged
contributions on (im)politeness phenomena – verbal or non-verbal – and
interpersonal pragmatic dynamics in historical linguacultures, from
Antiquity up to the 19th century AD. Thus, we would like to foster the
dialogue between scholars dealing with distant historical languages
and cultures but confronted with similar methodological and
theoretical issues. It is also our goal to offer a picture of the
latest research on historical (im)politeness.

The Historical Politeness Network for Ancient Languages
(https://historicalpoliteness.net/) has existed since 2014 and since
then we have organized a previous conference, we have run four online
lecture series, we have offered two courses for early career
researchers, and we have published two special issues of the Journal
of Politeness Research and the Journal of Historical Pragmatics. We
are now delighted to organize a new online conference to further
showcase our interdisciplinary work.

RECENT TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS IN HISTORICAL IM/POLITENESS RESEARCH
Organised by he Historical Politeness Network.
The conference is free to attend and will take place on Wednesday 10
July 2024, using Teams
