Meeting Description:

Panel on Negation & Corpus Pragmatics in Action

International Pragmatics Association (IPrA):
Advancing the science of language use –Promoting communication across
languages and borders

Panel Title: Negation and Corpus Pragmatics in Action

In keeping with the IPC19 Special Theme of Pragmatics in Action, the
organizers of the proposed panel on Negation and Corpus Pragmatics in
Action invite abstracts from corpus and computational researchers
seeking to better understand how negation and disagreement are
negotiated pragmatically in a variety of human and machine text types,
discourse genres, languages and cultural contexts. While anglo-saxon
researchers (e.g., Sacks, Schegloff, Jefferson, 1974, Yaeger-Dror,
2002) have found that disagreement is dispreferred in ordinary talk-
in-interaction, does this hold in other lingua-cultures (e.g.,
Carroll, 1987; Hickey & Stewart 2005)? Can disagreement still be
cooperative (Grice, 1975) if the purpose is, for example, political
debate (Roitman & Fonseca-Greber, 2023)? If, “[i]n many ways, negation
is what makes us human” (Horn, 2010: 1), how/how successfully do large
language models (LLM) contend with negation (Le Cloirec et al., 2024)?
Data-driven researchers seeking to advance our understanding of
negation and corpus pragmatics in action are invited to submit
anonymous abstracts (± 250 words) to this panel by no later than
November 1, 2024.
