The special theme of this three-day conference, endorsed by the Linguistic Politeness Research Group(LPRG), is 'Corpus-based and Corpus-driven Approaches to Politeness and Intercultural Communication'. Papers related to any theoretical and/or applied aspect of (im)politeness and intercultural communication are, however, also welcome. The special theme is motivated by current debates in pragmatics and (im)politeness research, including but not restricted to the following: - The contribution of (multimodal) corpora to enhancing understandings of interpersonal communication (e.g., studying affect, emotion and non-verbal elements in (im)politeness) - Methodological issues related to the collection, creation, annotation, and comparability of data in inter- and cross-cultural studies - How corpus approaches can contribute to theorizing on (im)politeness and intercultural communication. The conference will feature plenary lectures, panels, individual papers and posters.
