In the recent years, the study of meaning and human communication has become more and more interdisciplinary, combining linguistic pragmatics with insights from cognitive and affective science, psycho- and neurolinguistics. This one-day Workshop aims to offer a venue to PhD students, as well as to early postdoctoral researchers, for presenting their research on any topic related to pragmatics with a particular attention to language use in context.

This workshop welcomes submissions from PhD students and postdocs of participating departments and researchers. This announcement should not be circulated outside these research teams.
