Technologies related to languages have never been this close to our daily lives. This development is leading the way to novel perspectives of language learning and understanding, shaped by contributions from linguists and non-linguists. Innovative research and technology are emerging alongside recent advances in model structures. While AI-related methodologies are having noticeable impacts on human language research, what crucial roles does linguistics play? As linguists, we are witnessing profo

About the Roundtable: The Middlesex Roundtable on Signs, Language and Communication is an annual conference launched in January 2019 to encourage discussion between three paradigms of language and communication theory: the Integrationism of Roy Harris and his followers, Biosemiotics and Philosophy of Communication. The Roundtable takes place at Middlesex University London. These areas of thought and scholarship share assumptions regarding the fundamental role played by communicative intera

Holocaust testimonies serve as a bridge between survivors and history’s darkest chapters, providing a connection to the profound experiences of the past. Testimonies stand as the primary source of information that describes the Holocaust, offering first-hand accounts and personal narratives of those who experienced it. The majority of testimonies are captured in an oral format, as survivors vividly explain and share their personal experiences and observations from that time period. Transforming

Each year, the Bonn Applied English Linguistics group hosts a conference aimed specifically at postgraduate, PhD, and post-doc students. This conference allows young linguists to showcase their empirical research projects in all areas of Applied Linguistics broadly defined. BAELc15 is a great opportunity to learn from each other, get feedback on your work and network with other researchers in the field. This year’s conference will focus on learner corpora, while maintaining its interdisciplin

About the Conference: The ACM Annual Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVA) is the premier international event to present and discuss the newest research on socially interactive agents and human-agent interaction. Specifically, IVAs are AI-based virtual or robotic agents that exhibit human-like capabilities of social interaction, including multimodal communication using facial expressions, speech, or gestures, as well as real-time perception, cognition, emotion, and action that allow

Présentation des responsables de l’organisation: L’Association des Études Francophones (AEEF) rassemble les chercheurs et chercheuses qui étudient les littératures francophones contemporaines, qu’elles soient européennes, africaines, américaines, asiatiques ou océaniennes. L’AEEF entend promouvoir « une nouvelle façon de penser l’histoire des textes produits en langue française, y compris en France, et donc sortir des lectures hexagonales trop souvent déformantes » (Association des Études Fra

ComputEL-9 will be co-located with ACL 2026 in San Diego, California. We encourage submissions that explore the interface and intersection of computational linguistics, documentary linguistics, and community-based efforts in language revitalization and reclamation. This includes submissions that: (i) demonstrate new methods or technologies for tasks or applications focused on low-resource settings, and in particular, endangered languages, (ii) examine the use of specific methods in the ana

You are cordially invited to the Young Linguists’ Meeting, a tradition that began in 2000 at the Czech Language Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague and has continued at the Faculty of Arts, Palacký University Olomouc since 2001. The event hosts PhD candidates and young post-doc researchers in various disciplines of linguistics. What are the main topics of this year’s conference? - Language System and Cognition Grammatical gender and neutrality: How do the morphological

For this edition of the Poznań Linguistic Meeting, we invite participants to engage with the leitmotif “Linguistics in dialogue: looking for parallels beyond language.” We would like to encourage reflection on how linguistic phenomena can be illuminated/informed by other domains. Linguistics has long relied on analogies to describe, explain, and model language: language as a system, as a network, as a biological capacity, as a cultural phenomenon. Such metaphors often shape the questions we

« ‘‘À demain les Indiens’’ se dit en anglais : ‘‘Sioux tomorrow’’ » (Philippe Geluck)  Si « les langues diffèrent essentiellement par ce qu’elles doivent exprimer, et non par ce qu’elles peuvent exprimer » (Jakobson, 1963 : 84), la question de la transposition des jeux de mots et des traits d’humour d’une langue à une autre ne peut pas véritablement se poser comme une opposition entre « possible » ou « impossible ». L’humour et les jeux de mots ne se trouvent pas limités et enfermés dans la

Technological innovation is profoundly reshaping translation and interpreting (T&I). Over the past two decades digital tools—such as translation memories, terminology databases, CAT/CAI systems, Neural Machine Translation, alignment software, and remote interpreting platforms—have transformed professional workflows, enhancing quality, speed, and efficiency. More recent advances in Artificial Intelligence—including Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), speech-to-speech (S2S) machine interpreting, a

Motivation and Topics of Interest: Understanding how LLMs capture, propagate, or even invent semantic shifts raises fundamental questions for lexicography, language modeling, and semantic resources. Addressing these questions requires close collaboration between computational linguistics, lexicography, and lexical resource development. Such interdisciplinary work can shed light on how large language models both reflect and reshape linguistic creativity, an inquiry that lies at the core of the

We are happy to announce the 2nd conference on language policy in a German-speaking context. After the first conference in 2024, and the successful launch of the German network on language policy (https://www.sprachenpolitik.de) as well as the new journal Sprachpolitik & Sprachenpolitik (the first issue will officially be presented at the annual IDS conference in March 2026), the second conference will take place on September 2-4, 2026. Venue is again the Leibniz Institute for the German Languag

Since the public release of ChatGPT in November 2022, generative artificial intelligence has become a key talking point in academic, educational, and professional contexts, as well as in broader public discourse. The capacity for Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate text and imagery in response to user inputs requires critical investigation to consider the nature and cultural impact of this new meaning-making phenomenon: what patterns of language and imagery do LLMs produce?, and how do such
