Dear colleagues, The Centre for Language and Communication Research at Cardiff University, in collaboration with the Department of Linguistics at the University of Delhi invite abstracts for papers and posters for an interdisciplinary conference with the theme: Downscaling Culture: Revisiting Intercultural Communication The event will take place on 18-19 September 2014 at Cardiff University, Wales, UK. Please find the full Call for Papers on the conference website<http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/encap/newsandevents/events/conferences/downscalingculture.html>. With this programme we wish to update research on intercultural communication by broadening its empirical repository. Correspondingly, researchers who haven't worked with the concept of intercultural communication - or indeed who haven't worked with 'culture' - are invited to take a fresh look at their work. A conference volume of selected papers is planned, further information will follow during and after the conference. Abstracts (300 words) for papers and posters are invited until 30 April 2014. Acceptance will be communicated by 31 May 2014. To submit an abstract or for queries, please contact the organising committee at: downscalingculture@cardiff.ac.uk<mailto:downscalingculture@cardiff.ac.uk> Jaspal Singh, Argyro Kantara, Dorottya Cserző Further information will be available in due course on the website<http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/encap/newsandevents/events/conferences/downscalingculture.html>.
