Meeting Description:
The Institute for Study and Research on Arabization (IERA), Mohammed V
University, Rabat-Souissi, is organizing, in June 5st - 6nd, 2006, an
international Colloquium on Arabic Language Processing.

morphological, syntactic, and semantics)
- Automatic generation and parsing of Morphology, Syntax, and Semantics
- Applications of Arabic Language Processing, namely automatic tagging of Arabic
texts, texts briefing, texts generation (words and sentences), synthesis from
texts, Automatic translation, information searching and retrieving, etc.

Meeting Description:
The purpose of this interdisciplinary event is 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-fertilisation of ideas and theoretical approaches, and explore, beyond
stereotypes, key concerns associated with verbal communication across language,
culture and acquisitional divides.
AFLS Symposium at the University of East Anglia, Norwich - 3-4 November 2006
CALL FOR PAPERS
Cross-Cultural Pragmatics at a Crossroads: Speech Frames and Cultural Perceptions
Keynote speakers:
Helen Spencer-Oatey (cross/intercultural studies)
Catherine Kerbrat-Orecchioni (discourse in interaction)
Declan McCavana (non-standard language varieties)
Domains of specific interest will be interlanguage pragmatics, mediation (with
reference to real-life or fictional contexts, i.e. translation/interpreting, but
also dubbing / subtitling / translation / adaptation of fictional interactions,
for example) and non-standard varieties of language. These are spheres of
enquiry in which cross-cultural issues and their implications in various
respects (e.g. pragmatic development for interlanguage) surface with peculiar
acuteness, and which give us privileged access to data for refining their study.
Questions the workshop will aim to explore include: the interface between the
linguistic and the cultural, between speech frames and cultural perceptions,
misapprehensions of pragmatic values across languages and their implications,
issues of membership knowledge generally, issues of transfer, intercultural styles.
The workshop will focus principally, but not exclusively, on the French/English
pair, a combination of languages which has received comparatively limited
attention in cross-cultural pragmatics (but see Béal, Kerbrat-Orecchioni,
Traverso), and even less in interlanguage pragmatics. It will, by virtue of its
themes and the inbuilt interdisciplinarity of cross-cultural pragmatics
generally, be informed by different theoretical paradigms (e.g. conversation and
interactional discourse analysis, intercultural communication, politeness theory
and, for interlanguage, second language acquisition and psycholinguistics).
Proposals, for individual papers (20 minutes, with 10 minutes for questions) or
proposer-led round-table sessions on a particular theme (1h30), will be expected
clearly to identify their theoretical frame(s) of reference.
The general framework for the workshop will be provided by plenary papers
delivered by distinguished scholars representing complementary perspectives:
cross / intercultural studies (Helen Spencer-Oatey, Cambridge University),
discourse in interaction (Catherine Kerbrat-Orecchioni, Université Lyon 2),
interpreting and non-standard language varieties (Declan McCavana, Ecole
Polytechnique, Paris).
