Organizers: Prof. Dr. Olaf Kramer, PD Dr. Lily Tonger-Erk, Prof. Dr. Susanne Winkler Democracies thrive on dissent – on speech and counter-speech, on dialogue and compromise.

We are delighted to announce that the 4th International Conference on Discourse Pragmatics will take place online from October 17 to 19, 2025. This year’s theme, “Discourse Pragmatics, Online Interaction, and the Age of AI,” responds to the urgent need to understand how digital technologies and algorithmic mediation are reshaping the conditions of human communication in profound ways.

Templatic morphology is characterised by morphological exponents that are either expressed by an invariant prosodic shape or by affixes that require a templatic form of the base to which they attach. The clearest examples can be found in Afroasiatic languages, as well as in some languages of California, e.g., Palestinian Arabic suxn ‘hot’, b-yusxun ‘it becomes hot’, saxxan ‘he heated (sth.) up’, sxuːne ‘fever’, and Sierra Miwok hallik-ihhɨʔ ‘he used to hunt’, halik-mehnɨhakt̪eʔ ‘I was hunting on

In our workshop, we aim to bridge the gap between grammatical theories and empirical research, addressing the need for exploring how theoretical grammar can be used to systematically classify and investigate indeterminacy. The following research questions will be discussed in our workshop: - Which phenomena of indeterminacy (ambiguity, vagueness and polysemy) can be found in grammar? - On which linguistic levels (word types, sentence structure, morphological structures) are they located?

Description: Diversity has always been a defining characteristic of human societies. Historically, ‘Man’ has been inclined towards ‘difference’, be it racial, ethnic, or religious. This has resulted in a constant enriching cultural move (Harari, 2011; Graeber and Wengrow, 2021). In today’s world, diversity has become endemic in human life. Theoreticians like Derrida, Habermas, Geertz and others have broadened this concern to include political, economic, and social dimensions. In the context

Institutions across higher education, legislative bodies, the judiciary, public broadcasting, and public health agencies exert significant influence through their communication practices, yet they often reproduce biases embedded in traditional linguistic conventions. Recent global events have also emphasized the imperative for these institutions to guarantee both the broad dissemination of information and the protection of public well-being via accessible, unbiased, representative, and inclusive
