The diversity of ways of construing the world, and interacting in it and with it, leads to a diversity of language structures that communicators use to establish, manipulate, and refer to common ground, and to constrain the context of interpretation that is needed for the communicative act to make sense. A plethora of diverse approaches to language and culture has developed within theoretical and applied pragmatics, profiting from links to philosophy, semiotics, hermeneutics, cultural anthropology, and cultural studies. Diversity is manifest in pragmatic studies of cross-cultural and intercultural communication in post-colonial and towards post-national societies as well as across world regions; the social dimensions of code-switching; mediated communications such as Internet Relay Chat, email, SMS messaging; politeness strategies, negotiation, conversational cooperation; questions of identity, queer and other minority talk, aspects of power and ideology; theories of grammaticalization and language change; approaches to classroom practice and other discourses; cognitive and cultural motivations in language use; speech act theories and implicature; gesture, metaphor, and language play; etc. Multilingual Australia and its region offers diverse cultural and linguistic contexts for the application of pragmatics in contact, cross-language and cross-cultural environments. A third of the worlds languages are spoken in the south-western Pacific, which includes five of the worlds ten most linguistically diverse nations (Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Australia, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands). This has given rise to strong local scholarly traditions of exploring the worlds linguistic diversity, and this conference will bring these traditions to bear on the field of pragmatics. A defining characteristic of pragmatics is exploration of language expressions within the context of a set of utterances. Together with the concept of common ground and the use of implicature, context allows language users to underspecify their meanings, with consequential effects on grammar. Given the centrality of context to research in pragmatics, it is timely to investigate the exact nature of relationships between the structuring or organising principles of context, language and interaction through an explicit analysis of the definition and structure of different contexts and the relationships that exist between these and the structure of the diverse kinds of interaction that can occur in them. How do differences in cultural assumptions and practices create different contexts of interpretation? How does context act as the nexus by which distinctive cultural
