Meeting Description:
Pragmatics is currently a wide and quickly developing field of research, encompassing very diverse topics and methodologies. In this one-day conference, four leading scholars in the field, Stavros Assimakopoulos, Geert Brône, Arnulf Deppermann, and Marina Terkourafi, are invited to present the way they define and integrate three core issues for pragmatics in their research:
(1) the nature and role of context;
(2) the definition of speaker intention;
(3) the use of empirical data.
They will interact on these topics with Thierry Herman, Jérome Jacquin, Steve Oswald, and Sandrine Zufferey, four Swiss scholars working on various aspects of pragmatics.
The conference, initially planned at the University of Bern in Switzerland, will be hosted entirely online and can be followed on YouTube. Questions can be addressed to the speakers via the YouTube chat. The event is open to everyone.
