Pronominal systems represent one of the most fertile testing grounds for understanding grammar as a symbolic system adapted to a stochastic cognitive environment. Pronouns are minimal in descriptive content but maximal in context dependency: they enable reference-tracking without lexical repetition, interact closely with information structure, and frequently give rise to mismatches between form and meaning (Onea et al. 2023). The 2026 edition of the Vienna Workshops on Portuguese Linguistics,

The DUO Colloquium investigates the effects of the radical changes that have taken place in the language industry since 2017, when the machine translation platform DeepL launched, but especially since the arrival of ChatGPT and other GenAI systems in 2022. Now that machine translation has become the norm, the roles played by human linguists are shifting – towards multilingual communication management but also towards intercultural, linguistic and technological consulting. This shift means that t

The rise of climate discourse on social media offers new channels for public engagement but also amplifies mis- and disinformation. As online platforms increasingly shape public understanding of science, tools that ground claims in trustworthy, peer-reviewed evidence are necessary. The new 2026 iteration of ClimateCheck builds on the results and insights from the 2025 iteration (run at SDP 2025/ACL 2025), extending it by adding training data, a new task on classifying disinformation narratives i
