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.
