Meeting Description:

We invite contributions to the following panel at the 19th
International Pragmatics Conference:
"Folk pragmatics: experiences and methods to reach emic perspectives"

The proposed panel aims to explore the field of folk pragmatics with a
focus on methodologies and researcher experiences that facilitate the
understanding of emic perspectives—the insider's viewpoint—within
various and diverse cultural contexts. This pragmatics subfield delves
into how ordinary people use and interpret language in their everyday
lives, emphasizing the importance of cultural and social factors in
shaping communicative practices. This kind of knowledge contributes to
a better understanding of general pragmatics, since it borrows their
conclusions from a lay-people perspective.

This panel seeks to address several key questions:
 - How do researchers effectively capture and analyze the nuanced,
context-dependent nature of folk pragmatic data?
 - What methodologies are most successful in unveiling the emic
perspectives that are often obscured by etic, or outsider, approaches?
 - What are the ethical requirements for participatory research
approaches in pragmatics?
 - How can the insider’s viewpoint be explored in diverse groups using
inclusive methods, e.g. considering persons with speech, communication
and
 - language needs?
 - What kind of insights are provided by an ethnographic approach when
a folk pragmatics research is conducted?

This panel hopes to bring together researchers from diverse
backgrounds, including sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology,
communication studies, applied linguistics, and sociocultural
linguistics, who have conducted empirical studies in diverse cultural
settings.

approaches, present empirical findings, or discuss the practical
applications of folk pragmatic research. Our goal is to create a
dynamic and inclusive forum that promotes dialogue and collaboration
among scholars from various disciplines and cultural backgrounds.
