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

This conference is part of a series of scientific events organized by the GReMLIN research group at Paris Nanterre University, which aims to advance the reflection on the parameters of meaning (re)construction, conceived as a dynamic, context-bound activity involving multiple levels of linguistic structure – morphosyntax, phonology, prosody, gesture, semantics, and pragmatics. This 8th edition addresses the staging of discourse and the forms and functions of staged discourse, with a particula

The French Cognitive Linguistics Association (AFLiCo) is pleased to announce its 10th international conference (AFLiCo10), to be held in Paris from June 22nd to June 24th 2026. The theme of the conference will be Interaction and Discourse. Going back to Clark’s (1996) joint action hypothesis, language is seen as a joint activity, which draws on a common ground shared among speakers, who have to constantly coordinate with each other in order to make their intentions known to the discourse par

Is it the end of translation? Should we bid farewell to universality? Our era is not only one of artificial intelligence (AI); it is also marked by the fragmentation of societies, political entities, professions (particularly translation) and audiences. Translation and translation training are at the heart of these developments, which affect professionals, teachers, students, and translation audiences alike. We propose to examine how a narrower focus on a specific audience can lead to different

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
