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. AFLA is one of the premier international conferences in the field of Austronesian formal linguistics.

We are delighted to announce that the 12th Fonologi i Norden (FiNo) will be hosted in Tromsø by UiT the Arctic University of Norway on the 11th and 12th of February, 2027. FiNo is a relatively informal conference for phonologists in the Nordic countries, phonologists from elsewhere interested in Nordic topics (broadly understood), and phonologists with no Nordic connections at all. 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

Running since 2018, and so far hosted in the UK and Spain, the Language Policy Forum (LPF) is an international conference bringing together researchers and practitioners from around the world, working across the broad field of Language Policy and Planning. It is organised by the Language Policy Special Interest Group within the British Association of Applied Linguistics (https://langpol.ac.uk), an international network of LPP scholars and practitioners. LPF 2026 in Madrid attracted delegates fro

We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming International Forum on International Forum of Trans-migrant Education in Asia (IFTEA), which will take place from March 26th to 27th, 2027 at National Kaohsiung Normal University in Taiwan. This conference is highly relevant to linguists because it foregrounds language support, immigrant language education, multilingualism, cultural adaptation, and the role of language in educational equity and social integration. It offers linguists an interdiscip

The creation of fieldwork-based corpora of spontaneous oral discourse in lesser-known, often endangered languages over the past 25 years has led to a wealth of empirical material for investigating the use of grammatical patterns in actual speech (Schnell, Haig & Seifart 2021). The proposed thematic session intends to explore such corpus data with regard to the discourse use of nonverbal predicates in typologically diverse languages. In contrast to the canonical verbal predicates, which expres

With the objective of supporting the next generation of researchers in Chinese linguistics, the YSF is an inclusive platform for master’s students, doctoral candidates, and post-doctoral researchers (within 3 years of their PhD defense) to exchange ideas and ex

The Department of Linguistics and the College of Arts, Languages & Letters at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa are pleased to announce the… 10th International Conference on Language Documentation & Conservation: Arts Sustaining Language March 4-7, 2027 Honolulu, Hawai‘i, USA http://www.icldc-hawaii.org Language lives not only in grammar and lexicon but also in the creative practices of its speakers, as expressed through song, story, performance, crafting, and visual arts. Though tr

This panel explores how ‘wisdom’ is conceptualized, articulated, and spoken about across diverse linguistic and cultural settings. A particularly rich point of departure is the contemporary resurgence of ‘wisdom talk’ in the context of planetary crises: ecological degradation, technological acceleration, democratic decline, and anxieties surrounding the future of humanity. In such conditions, appeals to wisdom often index both anxiety and aspiration. They may foreground indigenous knowledges

We invite the submission of abstracts for the Computational Linguistics poster session of the 49th annual meeting of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS), hosted by the University of Jena. We invite submissions from all areas of computational linguistics, ranging from models of language across all linguistic areas to corpus lingusitics, multimodal approaches and studies on LLM capability assessment. We especially encourage students and junior researchers to participate. The poster session is

Today’s democracies are facing increasing internal and external threats. Alongside political polarization and widespread mis‑/disinformation, recent OECD data (2024) indicates a declining trust in national governments and public institutions, with many citizens feeling unable to influence public decisions. Simultaneously, participatory practices – both grassroots and institutionally organized – are expanding. This tension between decreased democratic trust and attempts to increase participation
