Since the topic of this edition will be dedicated to
the new journal Intercultural Pragmatics (Mouton de

analysis, from any methodological perspective or

The Symposium will serve as a forum where applied

experiences, discuss common problems, and present
papers on their
latest research in the field. EPICS II also wishes to
create awareness
among graduating students of the growing interest in

linguistic expertise.
