Der Einsatz Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) prägt die Sprachvermittlung und Übersetzungswissen-schaft/-didaktik zunehmend und verändert sie grundlegend. KI-gestütztes Lehren und Lernen, automatisierte Übersetzungsdienste und adaptive Formate eröffnen neue Potenziale für die Hoch-schullehre – werfen zugleich aber ethische, technische und didaktische Fragen auf. Die geplante eintägige Konferenz richtet sich an Lehrende, Forschende, Studierende sowie Bil-dungsexpert:innen und bietet eine Plattform,

Workshop Description: Expressivity is a category in natural languages that concerns the direct expression of emotions and attitudes (in contrast to their description). Expressive meaning can be conveyed at all linguistic level: by lexical expressions, special syntactic constructions, intonation or on the pragmatic level by expressive speech acts. While expressivity has been approached from many different angles and has been studied in almost all disciplines of linguistics (see the Oxford Han

The thematic session of the conference aims to explore the contribution of fieldwork experimental phonetics to language documentation (Demolin 2002; Gibbon 2020), both with respect to under-researched languages and linguistic minorities, and in relation to the sociophonetic variability of these languages and the development of oral archives. Over time, the aims of fieldwork experimental phonetics have expanded in both thematic scope and methodological techniques. In addition to acoustic data,

Description of the topic and research questions Linguistic typology and variationist sociolinguistics: bridging approaches to variation Variation is a fundamental characteristic of natural languages that occurs across languages, within speech communities, and in the linguistic behaviour of individual speakers. It can be simultaneously diachronic, diatopic, and diastratic, manifesting across difference levels of the linguistic architecture. Broadly defined, linguistic variation refers to the

Description of the Topic and Research Questions: Previous research in (Germanic) heritage and minority languages has mainly focused on various aspects of language change and the simplification, convergence, or loss of grammatical features, often identifying language attrition and the incomplete acquisition of grammar as the driving forces behind these developments (see Benmamoun et al. 2013, Montrul 2008 and, for instance, the case studies by Kolmer 2010, Larsson/Johannessen 2015, Lohndal/Wes

At least since Keenan (1976), prototypical subjects have been defined in terms of coding and behavioral properties, such as case marking, clause-initial position, subject-verb inversion, conjunction reduction, raising, and control. These diagnostics have been successfully applied to several languages and have thus led to the discovery of non-canonically case-marked subjects in Icelandic (Andrews 1976, Thráinsson 1976, inter alia) and the South Asian languages (Masica 1976, Kachru, Kachru & Bhati

The UCLA National Heritage Language Resource Center's quadrennial two-day conference will focus on heritage and community language studies as a multidisciplinary field impacting a variety of educational contexts. We welcome submissions from disciplines including but not limited to anthropology, demographics, linguistics, sociology, applied linguistics, policy, psychology, bilingualism, education, and assessment. You are invited to submit a proposal for a paper, panel, or poster. You can ma

Tras el éxito de la sesión monográfica del Simposio SEL 2025 celebrado en Salamanca, nos proponemos avanzar en la exploración de las correlaciones entre la variación lingüística y el contacto lingüístico y/o las actitudes lingüísticas, considerados motores clave del cambio lingüístico (Bloomfield, 1933; Johnstone, Andrus & Danielson, 2006; Labov, 1963, 2001). Las contribuciones presentadas en aquella sesión pusieron de manifiesto la relevancia fundamental del contacto (Poplack & Levey, 2010) y/o

"Developing new languages in migration contexts” will take place from September 30 to October 1, 2025, at Masaryk University (Czech Republic), under the framework of OP JAK “LangInLife” (https://www.muni.cz/en/research/projects/73477). The conference is intended to contribute to filling a gap in Second Language Acquisition, where research on adult immigrants developing additional languages is currently underrepresented (see Mocciaro & Young-Scholten 2025). After a fundamental research seaso

The StuTS (Studentische Tagung Sprachwissenschaft) is a three-day student conference on linguistics held biannually. Organized by volunteer linguistics students, it is hosted usually but not exclusively, by German-speaking universities. Since its inauguration in Hamburg in 1987, StuTS has brought together thousands of enthusiastic linguistics students to present their work, learn about exciting new topics in inspiring keynote addresses, talks, and workshops, and meet interesting like-minde

Queer linguistics has emerged as an essential field for understanding how language, across its various analytical dimensions, relates to LGBTIQ+ identities and experiences. This linguistic branch goes beyond merely documenting specific varieties or sociolects within queer communities. Instead, it examines the linguistic and discursive mechanisms through which dominant culture constructs, maintains, and sometimes challenges established norms around gender and sexuality. Drawing from gender st

Producing terminology resources requires a wide range of research and development skills. The design and implementation phases involve a thorough preliminary analysis of the information needs of potential users, as well as an accurate assessment of the structural requirements of the resource. In this context, the fifth international conference Multilingual Digital Terminology Today: Design, Representation Formats and Management Systems aims to bring together specialists in terminology, termin

As part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie ONISILOS COFUND project ‘Gradience in Polarity Morphology and Diglossia’ (GraPMoD, Agreement No. 101034403), we are pleased to announce a two-day symposium. The Symposium on Empirical Approaches to Meaning and Structure (SEAMS) will take place on site at the University of Cyprus in Nicosia on November 22–23, 2025.
