Call for Papers: The World Wide Web has evolved from a resource for building linguistic corpora into the central data infrastructure powering modern natural language processing and Large Language Models (LLMs). As web-scale data increasingly shapes AI systems’ knowledge and capabilities, understanding its quality, representativeness, and ethical implications has become critical. At the same time, the “more is better” paradigm is being challenged by issues such as machine-generated content,

People facing various difficult life situations, crises, or vulnerabilities have a range of mediated options for seeking help and support. These include emergency services, teleconsultations within traditional healthcare, and mediated interactions with social workers and civil society organizations, such as helplines, which offer various forms of anonymous support. This special issue of Qualitative Health Communication invites contributions that explore helpline communication in its broadest sen

Guest Editors: Ali Derakhshan, Golsetan University, Iran, and Haoran Xie, Lingnan University, Hong Kong SAR Language learning is a crucial skill in our increasingly globalized world, where communication across cultures and languages is more important than ever (Chen et al., 2021). Traditional methods of language education, while effective, often lack the interactivity that modern technology can provide (Derakhshan & Zhang, 2024; Fathi et al., 2024; Zhao & Lai, 2023). Robot-Assisted Language L

Background: While multimodal input (e.g., reading accompanied by audio or visual input) has been used to aid reading for several decades (e.g., Schneeberg, 1977), scientific investigation into how the use of multimodal input affects reading processes is relatively new (e.g., Pellicer-Sanchez, 2022). Furthermore, the advance of instructional technology which enables various multimodal input types and tools calls for research on how reading-related processes and resources are used as L2 learners

The papers in this volume were selected from those presented at the 54th Annual Conference on African Linguistics, which was held at the University of Connecticut in June, 2024.

Aligner is a free lightweight web tool for creating aligned bilingual examples and glossed linguistic illustrations. It is useful for language documentation, language-learning materials, translation pedagogy, conlang presentation, and general linguistics teaching because it makes word-level correspondences, reordering, and phrase-to-phrase mappings visually explicit.

Call for Papers: Language defies boundaries. It evolves across communities, adapts to new technologies, and connects speakers in ways both enduring and emergent. The topic for this edition invites us to examine how linguistic diversity flourishes in an interconnected world, how innovation reshapes communication practices, and how language continues to build meaningful connections across contexts, cultures, and communities. The 9th edition of the conference provides a forum for researchers to

Call for Papers: How do we persuade someone to act against their initial intentions? How do we reshape what they think about an issue? Language is our most powerful tool for influence. We use it to convince, persuade, cajole, and coax, often without even realizing it. Words mold opinions, shift attitudes, and guide behavior. This symposium places the persuasive power of language at its very core. Linguists have traditionally examined the workings of persuasive language in institutionali

This workshop is organized as part of the 49th Annual Conference of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS 2027). Workshop Description: Information Structure (IS) is a broad domain of linguistic inquiry, addressing how speakers organize and present information in discourse. Crucially, languages employ a wide range of strategies across (morpho)syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and prosody to package information within discourse (Féry and Krifka, 2008; Féry and Ishihara, 2016). Despite a substantial

The 5th International Conference on Discourse Pragmatics (ICDP-5) will be held online from 16 to 18 October 2026. The theme of the conference is “(Im)politeness in Changing Communicative Worlds.” Over the past decades, (im)politeness has become one of the most dynamic research areas in pragmatics and discourse studies. Moving beyond early face-based models, recent research has increasingly focused on how (im)politeness is negotiated in interaction through emotion, power, identity, relational
