Subject: 8th International Pragmatics Conference
8th INTERNATIONAL PRAGMATICS CONFERENCE
TORONTO, Canada
13-18 July 2003
The 8th International Pragmatics Conference will be held on 13-18 July
2003 at the University of Toronto.
CONFERENCE CHAIR: Monica HELLER (Univ. of Toronto)
LOCAL SITE COMMITTEE: Susan EHRLICH (York Univ.), Ruth KING (York Univ.),
Normand LABRIE (Univ. of Toronto), Grit LIEBSCHER (Univ. of Waterloo),
Bonnie McELHINNY (Univ. of Toronto) Donna PATRICK (Brock Univ.), Jack
SIDNELL (Univ. of Toronto)
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE COMMITTEE: In addition to the members of the
Local Site Committee, the International Conference Committee includes:
Charles ANTAKI (Loughborough Univ.), Jenny COOK-GUMPERZ (Univ. of
California
at Santa Barbara), Susan ERVIN-TRIPP (Univ. of California at Berkeley;
IPrA President), GU Yueguo (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences), Andreas
JUCKER (Justus Liebig Univ. Giessen), Ferenc KIEFER (Hungarian Academy
of Sciences; chair, 7th IPC), Enikö NÉMETH (Univ of Szeged), Ben RAMPTON
(King's College London), Eddy ROULET (Univ. of Geneva), Anna-Brita
STENSTRÖM
(Univ. of Bergen), Elizabeth TRAUGOTT (Stanford Univ.), Jef VERSCHUEREN
(Univ. of Antwerp; IPrA Secretary General), Yorick WILKS (Univ. of
Sheffield)
THEMES: As always, the conference will be open to all themes relevant
to the pragmatics of language in its widest sense as an interdisciplinary
cognitive, social, and cultural perspective. Prospective participants
should, however, pay attention to the distribution of topics across event
types, as described below. In addition, there is a special theme.
SPECIAL THEME:
Linguistic pluralism : policies, practices and pragmatics
This is a theme that was chosen by the Local Site Committee and approved
by the Consultation Board. It corresponds to the interests of a large
number of IPrA members, and permits us to link cognitive, linguistic,
social and political approaches to a phenomenon of long-standing interest
in pragmatics and of current theoretical, as well as social and policy
importance. The intention will be to focus the conference on making those
links in a number of ways, ranging from choice of plenary speakers and
special panels, to invitations to interested and relevant Canadians outside
the academy. The theme is one which also fits the venue, given Canada's
historical involvement in debates on such issues, and Toronto's profile
as a major centre of new globalized urban multilingualism. However, it
is meant here to go beyond traditional ideas about "multilingualism"
understood
as connecting linguistic difference primarily to ethnic or national
distinctio
ns, and rather to extend that concept to the links between language and
all forms of social difference and social inequality. The theme is also
appropriate to the expertise of the members of the Local Site Committee
which is committed to tying academic approaches to broader public debates.
