Guest Editors: Takaaki Hiratsuka and Luis Javier Pentón Herrera Critical Inquiry in Language Studies (CILS) invites abstracts for a special issue entitled “Critical Inquiry into Trans-Speakerism.” Trans-speakerism is a stance in language education that replaces ‘native-speaker’ privilege with fair recognition of all speakers/teachers. In practical terms, it means focusing on effective communication and professional competence by referring to speakers, including teachers, as individual profes

This conference aims to explore how language use is shaped by digital spaces and how digital tools and data have revolutionized the fields of linguistics and language learning. Digital linguistics has developed into a thriving interdisciplinary field at the intersection of pragmatics, media linguistics, and applied language studies. The multifaceted field includes research ranging from multimodality (Bateman & Wildfeuer 2014), contextualization strategies (Androutsopoulos 2023), stance-taking (D

AI has transformed the way we live, work and think, bringing exceptional advances in healthcare, transportation and many other fields. As technology continues to advance almost on a daily basis, it opens up new opportunities, but may also favour potentially dangerous practices. It is, indeed, a double-edged sword. On the one hand, when used critically and responsibly, it enables data analysis at an unprecedented speed and scale to identify patterns, extract meaning and gain new insights. It e

Call for Papers: Overview: Non-Literal Expressions (NLEs) in natural language are a reflection of fundamental cognitive processes such as analogical reasoning and categorisation, and are deeply rooted in everyday communication. NLEs understanding is therefore an essential task for language modeling. This task is especially challenging because it cannot be tackled by falling back on individual word meanings, but requires taking into account larger chunks of surrounding text or even contextual

Description: Whistled languages offer a natural laboratory for studying how human speech can be acoustically reduced yet remain intelligible. This interdisciplinary workshop explores their phonetic, phonological, and neurocognitive dimensions across the world—from Greek Sfyria to Silbo Gomero and Tashlhiyt Berber. By integrating acoustic analysis, typology, and recent EEG and behavioral findings, the meeting investigates how left- and right-hemispheric processes cooperate in decoding melodic s

Communication is essential to tourism. International tourism particularly, is situated at the crossroads of language, culture, marketing communication, and “worldmaking”. As destinations compete for visibility in an increasingly global and digital environment, where traveller expectations shift rapidly, where the challenges for destinations in terms of sustainability and managing tourism responsibility become imperative, the ability to mediate experiences and translate local identity into com

The Conference Theme is Applied Linguistics in Transformation with a focus on: - Introducing transformations in paradigms in applied linguistics research - Addressing the challenges and opportunities posed by digital processes and artificial intelligence - Focusing on

Language defies boundaries. It evolves across communities, adapts to new technologies, and connects speakers in ways both enduring and emergent. The topic for this edition invites us to examine how linguistic diversity flourishes in an interconnected world, how innovation reshapes communication practices, and how language continues to build meaningful connections across contexts, cultures, and communities. The 9th edition of the conference provides a forum for researchers to explore language at
