    New Developments in Linguistic Pragmatics: 2nd Lodz Symposium.

    University of Lodz, Poland

    Plenaries: Gunter Senft, Richard W. Janney, Rachel Giora, Adam Jaworski Dear Colleague,

    Next year we will have a pleasure to organize the 2nd Lodz Symposium on linguistic pragmatics. This first conference was held at Lodz University in May 2002, and brought together over forty scholars from Europe and the USA. We had an opportunity to discuss a variety of current topics in pragmatics, discourse analysis and other relevant areas, as well as to listen to a number of inspiring plenary lectures given by such distinguished scholars as Katarzyna M. Jaszczolt, Jef Verschueren and Roman Kalisz. Selected papers from the 1st Lodz Symposium will be published in the internationally-recognized journal Research in Language. Below you will find information on the 2nd Symposium. We cordially invite you to participate and will try to make your stay in Lodz interesting and professionally rewarding.

    First Circular and Call for Papers

    2nd Lodz Symposium

    New Developments in Linguistic Pragmatics

    University of Lodz, Department of English Language Lodz, 07-09 May, 2004

    Organizing Committee:

    Prof. Dr Hab. Barbara Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk Dr Piotr Cap

    DESCRIPTION

    The conference comes as an answer to substantial intensification of pragmatics-oriented research in the recent decade, and provides forum for its essential systematization. The organizers encourage papers representing current state of research in the field of linguistic pragmatics seen in the broad sense as a functional (i. e. cognitive, social and cultural) perspective on language and communication. Participants are invited to prepare 30-minute presentations on one of the following topics:

    - application of linguistic pragmatics in the analysis of real-life discourse (language of politics and the media; advertising; social communication; misunderstandings; humor, etc.) - status of pragmatics in relation to such disciplines as sociolinguistics, anthropology, social psychology, cognitivism and culture studies - methodology of pragmatic investigation and parameters of analysis - implementation of pragmatic awareness in foreign language teaching NB: The list of topics is NOT exhaustive

    The organizers hope to offer multiple grounds for discussion of a genuinely cross-disciplinary approach to linguistic pragmatics.
