On June 14, 2014, Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church hosted the 12th Pragmatics Roundtable under the title Historical Pragmatics. The aim of the conference was to provide a comprehensive overview of how the methods and findings of pragmatic research can be applied to the analysis of historical texts.
