The 4th edition of LingCor: Workshop on Spoken Corpus Linguistics will take place at the Institut für Romanistik of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin from the 5th till the 7th October 2026.

LingCor aims to bring together researchers working with spoken corpus data

Human communication relies on multiple modalities that jointly convey meaning and support interaction. Yet communication often occurs under non-ideal conditions, where channels are degraded, absent, technologically transformed, or replaced, as in noise, remote communication, sign language, clinical conditions, or interactions with avatars and socially interactive AI. We invite contributions on multimodal communication involving speech, gesture, gaze, facial expression, sign language, and written

We are pleased to invite submissions for a panel on the theme of Risk discourse and sustainability. Recent work has stressed the need for Risk Discourse as an approach in discourse analysis and pragmatics (e.g. Ädel & Östman, 2023; 2025; forthc.). ‘Risk discourse’ has been defined as referring to “texts, whether spoken, written or signed, that are concerned with matters of risk and related concepts (such as security and safety), whether involving experts and/or lay people, whether explicitly

Confirmed Speakers: Anna Papafragou (University of Pennsylvania) Devyani Sharma (University of Oxford) Sandrine Zufferey (University of Bern) After the successful workshop Social Meaning and Grammar, which took place in Zürich in February 2026 (https://www.ds.uzh.ch/de/tagungen/social-meaning-and-grammar.html) we are now moving on to the second round. The term ‘social’ plays a central role in the acquisition and learning literature in general (e.g., in broad topics such as social cognition

Die Zunahme extremistischer Ideologien in öffentlichen wie semi-privaten Diskursräumen stellt Gesellschaften vor erhebliche Herausforderungen. Während die Inhalte extremistischer Positionen prominent erforscht sind, bleibt ihre pragmatische Dimension – die sprachlichen Vollzüge, Interaktionsmuster und multimodalen kommunikativen Formate – ein dringliches Desiderat. Vor diesem Hintergrund fragt die ALP-Jahrestagung 2027 danach, wie extremistische Weltbilder im sprachlichen Handeln hervorgebrac

Extending the Association of Written Language and Literacy’s (AWLL) tradition of international conferences devoted to writing systems, AWLL16 brings together researchers from diverse backgrounds to examine writing systems as cultural tools. In that spirit, this call invites abstract submissions that address relevant research questions, including (but not limited to) the following: - To what extent do writing systems conform to language-universal or language-specific principles when graphemat

The organizers are pleased to announce the "Semantics and Word Formation" workshop, to be held at Universitat Pompeu Fabra on 13–15 April 2027. Description: In a classic paper on word formation, Hermann Paul (1896: 18) argued that morphology requires an "Ergänzung durch die Bedeutungslehre" 'supplementation by a theory of semantics'. Nearly 120 years later, Rainer et al. (2014: 33) concluded the introduction to the volume "Morphology and Meaning" by revisiting Paul's call, noting that althou

Many linguists are familiar with the question of whether what they are currently working on is really linguistics: Is that really linguistics? Whether you acted passively or actively, you were either asked the question or asked it yourself. It is a question that presupposes a more or less clear definition of what linguistics is—where it begins and where it ends. As Becher & Trowler ([1989] 2001) argue, disciplines are shaped by internal cultures and shared understandings of what constitutes legi

The University of Piemonte Orientale will host the International Conference REINVENT – Representing Ecolinguistic Identity through Narratives: Voices for ENvironmental Transition (Vercelli, 20–21 May 2027). Drawing on a multidisciplinary approach, the conference aims to highlight the fundamental role that linguistic choices and narrative models play in shaping our attitudes towards environmental issues, influencing perceptions of individual and collective responsibility, and encouraging – or

The Department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science at the University of Delaware invites submissions to the workshop Morphology as Syntax 5 to be held at the University of Delaware on the 16th of April, 2027. The goal of the Morphology as Syntax workshop series is to explore the possibility of accounting for morphological phenomena within the phrasal syntax. The question is whether it is feasible to have a model of grammar with no separate component for morphology and no levels or mechanisms

The Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Austrian Geographical Society cordially invite you to the XXIX International Congress of Onomastic Sciences, Vienna [Wien], Austria, 16-20 August 2027, organized under the auspices of the International Council of Onomastic Sciences (ICOS). The Congress theme "Names as condensed narratives" aims to highlight the importance and relevance of names and naming while leaving enough space for the whole variety of onomastic topics and scientific approaches. N

The ethnographic and the semiotic are indelibly linked in linguistic anthropology. Foundational voices in the engagement between linguistic anthropology and semiotics make abundantly clear that we must ground our analysis in actual events, in what we describe as “the ethnographic” (Silverstein 1975, Silverstein and Urban 1996, Irvine and Gal 2000, Agha 2007). And yet, ethnographers encounter a tension when our analysis is of material from a culture other than our own. This tension also requires

The 34th annual meeting of the Austronesian Formal Linguistics Association (AFLA-34) will take place from June 23rd to June 25th, 2027, at Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan.

We invite submissions on any phonological topic, very much including work in progress. Please submit your a

I cicli XL e XLI del Dottorato in Studi linguistici, letterari e interculturali in ambito europeo ed extra-europeo dell’Università degli Studi di Milano organizzano il convegno dottorale biennale dal titolo “(S)confinamenti. Forme, funzioni e crisi dei binarismi.” In questa occasione si intende avviare una riflessione multidisciplinare sul concetto di binarismo, inteso non come semplice coppia di elementi, ma come configurazione relazionale in cui i termini si definiscono reciprocamente, instaur
