Meeting Description:	Cross-cultural Pragmatics at a Crossroads III IMPACT: Making a Difference in Intercultural Communication 3rd Cross-cultural Pragmatics Conference at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK Wednesday 26 - Friday 28 June 2013 Invited Speakers: Plenary 1: Istvan Kecskes (University at Albany, USA) Plenary 2: Mona Baker (University of Manchester, UK) Plenary 3: Lynda Yates (Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia) (TBC) Plenary 4: Minako O'Hagan (Dublin City University, Ireland) Plenary 5: Ana Rojo (Universidad de Murcia, Spain) Plenary 6: Christine Béal and Véronique Traverso (Université Paul Valéry, Montptellier and Lyon 2, France) (provisional order) Outreach Event Special Guest Contributor: Makiko Mizuno (Kinjo Gakuin University, Nagoya) (public and community interpreting) The conference builds on the success of two prior Cross-cultural Pragmatics at a Crossroads conferences at the UEA - Speech Frames and Cultural Perceptions in 2006, and its larger-scale follow-up Linguistic and Cultural Representations across Media in 2011 - this time with an even more ambitious agenda. Like its forerunners, CCP III will be interdisciplinary, and aims to bring together, under the umbrella of cross-cultural pragmatics, researchers from domains which are particularly sensitive to cross-cultural issues, to promote the cross-fertilization of practises, ideas and theoretical approaches, and explore key concerns associated with communication across language and culture boundaries, in practice and theory. Outreach Event: Like its predecessor, CCP III will seek to foster the partnership between the University, its local host community and communities beyond with an end-of-conference Outreach Event that will bring together representatives from all these groups to share their views on the challenges of communication across languages and cultures. Details will be posted on the conference website.
