Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to announce that the 5th international conference in the 360o series will be held in Aarhus, Denmark May 8th –May 10th 2014. The conference features three key note addresses:

Professor Theo van Leeuwen
Professor Carey Jewitt
Professor David Machin.

In this two-day conference we would like to address culture and intercultural communication from a micro-perspective. Commonly the linguistic study of intercultural communication is concerned with analysing miscommunication between speakers from two or more different ‘cultures’, defined predominantly as large-scale nation and language communities.

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 15 FEBRUARY 2015
