Le toponyme, qui sert à désigner un lieu, un territoire, relève de différentes dimensions et intéresse plusieurs disciplines. Parmi celles qui en font un objet de recherche en soi, l'onomastique met en perspective diachronique le nom propre et s’attache à décrire son sens, son origine et son altération. La dimension synchronique qui privilégie l’étude de la motivation, de la remotivation (Akin 1999), de la réception et les usages du nom de lieu mobilise la sociolinguistique, la sociopragmatique,

EAFT, in collaboration with the Department of Translation Studies at the University of Innsbruck, is organizing the 12th Terminology Summit in Innsbruck on the 27th -29th of November, 2025 on the topic Terminology Planning in Europe. Terminology Planning cannot be defined independently of the language, linguistic environment, and country in which it takes place. Based on this assumption, the EAFT Summit 2025 will bring together terminologists from almost every European country to discuss topi

We are a group of interdisciplinary scholars, located in Oxford, the United Kingdom (Oxford Brookes University & the University of Oxford), and we are running a cross-cultural project on the psychology of "awe". However, it struck us that "awe" does not appear readily translatable into other languages, and that more information is needed about the translation and the cross-cultural psychological construct of "awe" across the world. Therefore, we have now set up a survey through which we h

The Purdue Experimental Linguistics Lab is currently recruiting L1 English - advanced L2 speakers of Mandarin Chinese (min. university level 302/halfway through third-year Chinese, or equivalent) for a psycholinguistic experiment.

AI technologies are playing an increasingly larger role in our lives and research is not an exception to that. As critical sociolinguists working on the role of technology in society, we have developed a survey as we are interested to know more about what researchers who work on language and society think about AI technologies and how they are using them in their research and wider academic lives. We would like to kick off a debate on the opportunities and issues that such technologies offer. Pl

This volume presents a timely discussion on one of the most fundamental and yet elusive questions in historical linguistics: why do certain linguistic changes take place in some languages at specific times, but not in others, even under similar conditions? The actuation problem, first articulated by Weinreich, Labov, and Herzog (1968), remains a central puzzle in the study of language change, at the crossroads between language structure, cognitive processes, and social dynamics. While significan

Across the fields of sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, literacy studies, and linguistic anthropology, the role of religion has been present yet marginalised, and often subsumed under broader categories such as ‘identity’, ‘ideology’, or ‘cultural practice’. Despite this presence, scholarship within linguistic and cultural studies, broadly speaking, has not yet fully capitalised on the onto-epistemic affordances of exploring how language and society intersect in contexts where the Islamic fa
