>> Dear Colleague,

>> Next year we will have a pleasure to organize the 3rd 艁贸d藕 Symposium
>> on linguistic pragmatics. The first and second conference were held
>> at 艁贸d藕 University in May 2002 and May 2004, and brought together
>> over a hundred scholars from Europe, Asia and the Americas. 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. Jaszczo艂t, Jef Verschueren, Roman Kalisz,
>> Rachel Giora, Mira Ariel, Richard W. Janney, Bruce Fraser, Gunter
>> Senft and Adam Jaworski. Select papers from the past conferences were
>> published by international publishers. Below you will find
>> information on the 3rd Symposium. We cordially invite you to
>> participate and will try to make your stay in 艁贸d藕 interesting and
>> professionally rewarding.
