Discourse plays a central role in the social and cultural construction of gender. It functions as a dynamic space where meanings are negotiated, certain identities are legitimized, and others are marginalized. In the current context, trans people have gained increasing visibility, which has brought to the forefront the discursive tensions between dominant narratives that continue to pathologize and exclude, and alternative discursive practices that promote recognition, inclusion, or resistance t

The Conference will serve as a platform for exploring both professional and non-professional practices in intercultural and educational mediation, with a particular emphasis on community interpreting (CI) and educational mediation in academic settings. Discussions will encompass innovative research approaches, adaptation strategies in connection to technological advancements, including AI-powered translation tools, and the evolving role of interpreters as both linguistic and social mediators.

Meeting Description: The main focus of the NeuroD-WELL series of workshops is the early development of language in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, or at risk of developing language impairments due to familial risk or other risk factors. It is known that language deficits occur in a variety of neurodevelopmental disorders, as in intellectual disabilities, language disorder, social communication disorder, or autism spectrum disorder, as well as in at-risk groups. However, little

Focus of the Conference: This conference invites contributions that explore the communicative practices through which specialized knowledge is disseminated by experts in and across digitally-mediated contexts. Particular attention is given to proposals which examine the processes of recontextualization involved in adapting specialized knowledge so that it is accessible, understandable and acceptable to multiple audiences. Contributions may approach recontextualization and digital dissemination

In present-day, cognitive-functional linguistic research studies in grammaticalization continue to hold a significant place, having survived the test of time for more than 100 years since the term ‘grammaticalisation’ was first coined by Antoine Meillet in 1912. Meillet is cited as having used the term to refer to both analogical innovation or the ‘attribution of a grammatical character to a formerly autonomous word’ (Meillet 1912: 131; Heine et al 1991: 9; Hopper & Traugott 2003: 19). Meillet w
