This paper offers a survey of the 10th International Pragmatics Conference (8-13 July, 2007; Göteborg, Sweden) whose theme “computational pragmatics” can be construed to include the pragmatic analysis of language data produced via computer networks and mobile technologies, which has been termed the pragmatics of computer-mediated communication (CMC). Besides those studies on traditional aspects of pragmatics, there have appeared a number of topics addressing new issues, such as, the pragmatic aspects of CMC, E-cohesion---multimodality and interactivity in CMC, politeness in online discussion forums, corpora and methods in CMC discourse analysis, pragmatics of communication disorders, studies of medical and scientific discourses, pragmatics of English lingua franca, parliamentary discourse strategies, comparative studies of professional and institutional communicative activities, etc.; furthermore, pragmatic interfaces and interdisciplinary features have been one of the hot topics too. All of the discussions and topics help to provide an enlightening picture of the recent trends in contemporary pragmatics.
