15th International Pragmatics Conference
Special theme:
"Pragmatics in the real world"
Pragmatics is
underpinned by the idea that language use is a form of social action with real
world consequences tied to the specific context of language use. Different
theoretical perspectives under a broad conception of pragmatics articulate the
notion of social action differently and hence arrive at differing perspectives
on the relationships both between language and other forms of social action and
between language use and conceptions of context. Nonetheless, as the range of
paper topics in any volume of the IPrA journal Pragmatics will attest, the
insights provided by pragmatics research into the essential connections between
language use, context and social action facilitate detailed understanding of
real world contexts, practices and institutions. Simultaneously, analyses of
pragmatic aspects of language in real world settings have been shown to inform
our theoretical understanding of the relationships between language, meaning,
context and social action.
This theme has
particular resonance for Belfast because it is a city in the midst of a
transition to a post-conflict society and transformations to forms and choices
of language and meanings are an implicit and often explicit part of that
transition. The theme also has a particular currency for the whole of the UK
as, here, the “impact agenda” has come to dominate external evaluations of
research which measure the economic and social benefits of research outside of
academia.
Alongside the local
significance of the theme is the broader significance for a number of branches
of research with the international discipline of pragmatics, including:
• Language and Politics
• Language in
Forensic Settings
• Language and
Education
• Language and
Health
• Language in
Clinical Settings
• Language and
Social Change
• Language and
Social Media
• Language and
Identity
