We invite contributions exploring interaction across a range of environments, including face-to-face, institutional, and digitally mediated settings, as well as work in both first language (L1) and second language (L2) contexts. Topics may include politeness, speech acts, conversational implicature, intercultural communication, and digital pragmatics, with a strong emphasis on diverse languages and regions to encourage a genuinely global dialogue. ​ The symposium aims to advance understanding

Language, creativity, human agency and ethics in the age of AI. In few realms of human activity has the impact of artificial intelligence been felt as immediately and visibly as in language. For many people, AI and language technology are now synonymous — from neural machine translation systems like DeepL to large language model interfaces such as ChatGPT and Claude, technologies that achieved some of the fastest adoption rates in the history of communication media. Yet beneath the surface

LFG26: We are pleased to invite you to participate in this year's edition of LFG in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. LFG welcomes work within the formal architecture of Lexical-Functional Grammar as well as typological, formal, and computational work within the 'spirit of LFG' as a lexicalist approach to language employing a parallel, constraint-based framework. The conference aims to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers interested in non-derivational approaches to grammar, where gramma

The Department of General Linguistics at Stellenbosch University is proud to be hosting the 14th Southern African Microlinguistics Workshop (SAMWOP-14) from Wednesday 2nd December to Friday 4th December, 2026. SAMWOP is an annual event that brings together linguists working in the area of Southern African microlinguistics (broadly defined as linguistics which focuses on the structure of language as opposed to, for example, its sociological or educational role in society).

Machine Translation (MT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are now an integral part of professional practice in business translation. However, their actual performance in this field remains poorly studied. The literature on their training application is still scarce, as reflected in the data from BITRA (Franco Aixelá, 2001-2025), and most current studies suggest that this type of research is still in an exploratory phase. In the professional sphere, references to the performance, quality or ad

Call for papers: "Non-Canonical Questions under the Microscope", workshop at the 49th annual conference of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Sprachwissenschaft (DGfS), (Lang-AG) Organizers: Ebrar Beşinci, Timo Buchholz, Robin Edds, James Griffiths, Paula Menéndez Benito (Universität Tübingen), Ilaria Frana (University of Enna Kore) Non-canonical questions (NCQs) override the default settings associated with ordinary information-seeking questions (Farkas 2022, to appear).

We are happy to announce that CogLing Days 2026 will take place in Leuven on 10 and 11 December 2026. CogLing Days is the biannual conference of the Cognitive Linguistics Association of Belgium and the Netherlands (BeNeCLA). The conference is first and foremost intended to spark local collaborations, foster the exchange of new ideas, and provide a place to present the latest research conducted in the Low Countries. The theme of CogLing Days 2026 is ‘the role of meaning in language variation

Following the metalinguistic term verbi procomplementari coined by De Mauro (1999-2000: xxxiv), procomplement verbs (PCVs) denotes a heterogeneous class of multi-word verbs whose distinctive feature is a lexicalized (i.e., obligatory) clitic pronoun or pronoun cluster which contributes to the verbs’ semantics and/or syntax in several ways. Based on the different contributions, PCVs can be grouped into several subclasses distributed along a continuum ranging from transparent constructions where t
