https://www.uni-muenster.de/Anglistik/Research/EngLing/events/PVNE.html#top

Plenary speakers: Eric Anchimbe, Bayreuth University Jakob Leimgruber, Regensburg University Anne Schröder, Bielefeld University

Important dates: September 15, 2022 Call for Papers January 15, 2023 Abstract submission February 15, 2023 Notification of acceptance

There is still little research on the pragmatics of the ‘New’ varieties of English, although first studies have shown their specific pragmatic properties (e.g. Anchimbe 2018, Leimgruber 2018, Schröder & Schneider 2018, Unuabonah & Gut 2018) and theoretical approaches have been developed to describe and explain pragmatic variation across varieties of English (e.g., Schneider & Barron 2008, Anchimbe 2018). The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers in this field in order to stimulate theoretical development as well as further studies and future collaboration.

Abstracts (500 words excluding references) are invited for 20-minute talks on any aspect of the pragmatics of the New Englishes. The submission deadline is January 15th, 2023.

Please submit your abstract to PVNE2023@uni-muenster.de

The workshop will take place in a hybrid format. Please indicate whether you would like to give an online presentation or join the workshop in person.
