Call for Papers:
We encourage papers (re-)examining the semantics-pragmatics boundary,
which has been sometimes blurred by the confrontation of the new and
the traditional frameworks. Proposals are welcome at the intersection
of philosophy of language and pragmatics dealing with theoretical,
methodological and definitional issues, as well as issues of
interdisciplinarity in pragmatic investigation.
While we specially encourage presentations of theoretical approaches
which have a basis in empirical studies, or allow for experimentally
testable predictions, the conference continues to be open to all kinds
of pragmatics oriented research recognizing pragmatics as a functional
(i.e. cognitive, social and cultural) perspective on language and
communication. This applies to functional studies involving multiple
and heterogeneous territories: everyday discourse, media, education,
political and professional settings, problems of linguistic
construction and maintenance of identity, pragmatic genres, issues of
multilingualism and linguistic pluralism, pragmatic aspects of
translation, pragmatic awareness in foreign language teaching, and
more.
Papers will be allocated 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions. The
language of the conference is English.
