Linguistics professors and graduate students from about 70 countries heard presentations from Kalamazoo College Associate Professor of Japanese<\/a> Noriko Sugimori and Assistant Professor of Spanish<\/a> Tris Faulkner at a pragmatics seminar in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The International Pragmatics Conference, themed \u201cThe shape of interaction: the pragmatics of (a)typicality,\u201d was conducted at the Universit\u00e9 Libre de Bruxelles, Solbosch Campus, in Brussels, Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugimori\u2019s presentation, titled \u201cExploring What Are Atypical and Typical in Modern Japanese: Newspaper Imperial Honorifics and Language Policies,\u201d built on her past studies examining the changes in and the use of Japanese imperial honorifics, representing a variety of political slants in modern Japan during and after World War II. Honorifics are titles or words that imply or express high status, politeness or respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faulkner\u2019s presentation, titled “The Relationship Between Mood and Modal Concord in Spanish Directive Complements,” centered on past experimental studies that demonstrated that traditionally-described, \u201csubjunctive-requiring\u201d clauses are not as stringently subjunctive as previously put forth. In this presentation, she discussed \u201cweak\u201d directive predicates (such as recomendar que <\/em>\u2018to recommend that\u2019 and aconsejar que <\/em>\u2018to advise that\u2019) and their use of the indicative (instead of the customary use of the subjunctive) in contexts designated to putting forth a singular<\/em> order or command as opposed to dual or bilateral instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The semiannual conference is presented by the International Pragmatics Association (IPrA), a global scientific organization devoted to the study of language. Established in 1986, it currently has about 1,500 members and targets successful communication across languages and borders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
