University of Seville (Spain) – May 26-28 , 2004
The research group ‘Intercultural Pragmatic
Studies (English-Spanish): Pragmatic and Discourse
Aspects’ of the Department of English Philology
at the University of Seville (Spain) is pleased to
announce its Second Symposium on Intercultural,
Cognitive and Social Pragmatics (EPICS II – II
Encuentros de Pragmática Intercultural, Cognitiva y
Social), to be held in May 26-28, 2004. Since the
topic of this edition will be dedicated to the new
journal “Intercultural Pragmatics” (Mouton
de Gruyter), we would like to invite anyone currently
researching in these area of pragmatics and discourse
analysis, from any methodological perspective or
framework, to participate as attendant in EPICS II.
The Symposium will serve as a forum where applied
linguists and practitioners of Pragmatics and
Discourse Analysis can meet, share 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 this area of linguistic expertise.
