Dear colleagues:
 
The research group ‘Intercultural Pragmatic Studies (English-Spanish): Pragmatic and Discourse Aspects’ of the University Pablo de Olavide of Seville (Spain) is pleased to announce its Fourth Symposium on Intercultural, Cognitive and Social Pragmatics (EPICS IV – Encuentros de Pragmática Intercultural, Cognitiva y Social), to be held in March 24-26, 2010.
 
The fourth edition of the symposium will be devoted to “(Im)Politeness and Interpersonal Communication”. We will be honoured with the presence of Dr. Miriam Locher, Professor of English Linguistics at the University of Basel (Switzerland) and Dr. Pilar Garcés-Conejos Blitvich, Professor of Linguistics at the University of North Carolina (Charlotte, USA), as keynote speakers.
 
               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 these fields. EPICS IV also wishes to create awareness among graduating students of the growing interest in this area of linguistic expertise.
                              
Submissions
We welcome original papers, written in English or Spanish (20 minutes in length, the last 5 minutes will be devoted to questions and discussion) on any topic relevant to “(Im)Politeness and Interpersonal Communication”. The symposium especially covers but is not limited to papers that explore the implications of pragmatics research for theoretical developments and practical applications in the following topics:
 
- (Im)Politeness and power,
- (Im)Politeness and gender,
- Interpersonal pragmatics /communication
- Relational work
- (Im)Politeness in cross-cultural/intercultural communication.
- Analyses of (im)politeness from different pragmatic paradigms (relevance theory, accommodation theory, etc.)

Dates
               Deadline for receipt of abstracts is December 1st, 2009. These will be peer-reviewed and notification of acceptance will be sent by December 20th. The committee will plan the programme as soon as it has selected the successful abstracts, so please indicate on the abstracts if you cannot present your paper on any day of the conference (March 24-26).
