The Faculty of English at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan is pleased to announce the
1st Poznań Historical Sociopragmatics Symposium which will be held at our university on May 15-16. 2014. Recent advances in historical pragmatics and historical sociopragmatics have clearly delineated the focus of these new areas on contextualised interaction-oriented micro and macro studies based on the linguistic evidence from the past. In particular, historical (im)politeness/facework and ritual as well as specific discourse domains, such as the courtroom, medical discourse and epistolary texts have received a lot of attention. Historical sociopragmatics has also prompted significant paradigm shifts in historical linguistics, among others, by foregrounding the importance of a new unit of analysis: the community of practice derived from the contemporary discursive framework. The aim of the symposium is to bring together the most significant researchers in the field:
Dawn Archer,
Jonathan Culpeper,
Daniel Kádár and
Irma Taavitsainen will participate in the event as keynote speakers.
