Meeting Description:
The research group 'Intercultural Pragmatic Studies (English-Spanish): Pragmatic
and Discourse Aspects' of the University Pablo de Olavide of Seville (Spain) is
pleased to announce its Fourth Symposium on Intercultural, Cognitive and Social
Pragmatics (EPICS IV - Encuentros de Pragmática Intercultural, Cognitiva y
Social), to be held in March 24-26, 2010.
The fourth edition of the symposium will be devoted to '(Im)Politeness and
Interpersonal Communication'. We will be honoured with the presence of Dr.
Miriam Locher, Professor of English Linguistics at the University of Basel
(Switzerland) and Dr. Pilar Garcés-Conejos Blitvich, Professor of Linguistics at
UNC Charlotte (USA), as keynote speakers.
The Symposium will serve as a forum where applied linguists and practitioners of
Pragmatics and Discourse Analysis can meet, share experiences, discuss common
problems, and present papers on their latest research in these fields. EPICS IV
also wishes to create awareness among graduating students of the growing
interest in this area of linguistic expertise.
Call for Papers
Submissions
We welcome original papers, written in English or Spanish (20 minutes in length,
the last 5 minutes will be devoted to questions and discussion) on any topic
relevant to "(Im)Politeness and Interpersonal Communication". The symposium
especially covers but is not limited to papers that explore the implications of
pragmatics research for theoretical developments and practical applications in
the following topics:
- (Im)Politeness and power,
- (Im)Politeness and gender,
- Interpersonal pragmatics/communication
- Relational work
- (Im)Politeness in cross-cultural/intercultural communication.
- Analyses of (im)politeness from different pragmatic paradigms (relevance
theory, accommodation theory, etc.)
Participants should submit one-page abstract (500 words) accompanied by a step-
by-step outline of the presentation and the following information:
1. Author's name(s) and affiliation
2. Title of paper
3. Audio-visual equipment required (VHS video, OHP, cassette)
4. E-mail address(es)
5. Postal address(es)
Electronic submissions as e-mail attachments (DOC, RTF, ASCII, HTML) are highly
encouraged. Proposals may be sent to both Reyes Gomez (rgommorupo.es) and
Mariola Hernández (mariolahlupo.es).
Dates
Deadline for receipt of abstracts is December 1st, 2009. These will be peer-
reviewed and notification of acceptance will be sent by December 20th. The
committee will plan the programme as soon as it has selected the successful
abstracts, so please indicate on the abstracts if you cannot present your paper
on any day of the conference (March 24-26). It is very difficult to reschedule
papers after the programme has been planned.
Publication
EPICS IV participants are welcome to submit their papers to be considered for
publication. The final text of the presentation can be submitted (Word or RTF
format) after the symposium but no later than June 1st, 2010. Style guidelines
will be provided in due course.
We hope you will circulate this Call for Papers to your colleagues and others
in your professional network, and to any discussion groups to which you may
subscribe. For more information, feel free to contact us. We hope to see you in
March 2010, here in Seville.
