 Call for Papers

 PRAGMA99

 International Pragmatics Conference on
 PRAGMATICS AND NEGOTIATION
 June 13-16, 1999
 Tel Aviv University and Hebrew University of Jerusalem
 Tel Aviv and Jerusalem
 Israel

The main theme of this conference is the pragmatics of negotiation,
interpreted in a very broad sense. Interlocutors engage in
negotiations about every aspect of their interaction - such as floor
access and topic selection, contextual assumptions, conversational
goals, and the (mis)interpretation and repair of their
messages. Topics such as cross-cultural and cross-gender
(mis)communications, conversational procedures in disputes and
collaborations, argumentation practices, and effects of assumptions
and goals on the negotiating strategies of interlocutors are of
special interest for this conference.

The conference will be interdisciplinary, bringing together
pragmaticists, linguists, philosophers, anthropologists, sociologists
and political scientists. We are soliciting papers on all issues
relevant to the theme of the conference, as well as papers in other
areas of pragmatics and dialogue analysis.

The conference will include plenary addresses, regular session
lectures, and organized panels around any of the relevant
topics. Among the plenary speakers: Elinor Ochs (UCLA), Itamar
Rabinovitch (Tel Aviv University), Emanual Schegloff (UCLA), Thomas
Schelling (University of Maryland), Deborah Schiffrin (Georgetown
University), Deborah Tannen (Georgetown University), Ruth Wodak
(University of Vienna).

Presentation of regular session lectures is 30 minutes long, with a
subsequent discussion of 10 minutes. Panels take the form of a series
of closely related lectures on a specific topic, which may or may not
be directly related to the special topic of the conference. They may
consist of one, two or three units of 120 minutes. Within each panel
unit a maximum of four 20-minute presentations are given
consecutively, followed by a minimum of 30 minutes of discussion
(either devoted entirely to an open discussion, or taken up in part by
comments by a discussant or discussants). Panels are composed of
contributions attracted by panel organizers, combined with
individually submitted papers when judged appropriate by the Program
Committee in consultation with the panel organizers. Typically,
written versions or extensive outlines of all panel contributions
should be available before the conference to facilitate discussion.
