We are pleased to announce that the 12th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC-12) will be organised by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, Croatia, and will be held on 21–23 October 2027. The ICLC conference series, running since 1998, aims to promote fine-grained cross-linguistic research involving two or more languages from a broad range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. Following the successful editions in Mannheim and Prague

We are pleased to invite submissions for the 3rd Tunisian Systemic Functional Linguistics Conference (TSFLC 3). This edition focuses on the role of SFL in understanding and shaping social change, particularly through perspectives emerging from the margins and peripheries in diverse semiotic and social practices. Systemic Functional Linguistics sees language as a social semiotic act that not only maintains and supports the existing eco-social order, but also “nudg[es] it in the directions in w

A common distinction in linguistics is between transactional uses of language, which serve the communication of information, and interactional uses, which express attitudes and social relationships (Jakobson 1971; Brown and Yule 1983; Hyland 2005). Within the latter domain, Heine (2023) identifies a range of interactional expressions, including attention signals (Hey!), directives (Look!), evaluatives (Great!), interjections (Oh), response elicitors (What?), response signals (Yes), social formul

Whether spoken or signed, linguistic behaviour reflects physiological properties of the body. Previous research has shown that the bodily architecture, e.g. vocal tract morphology and strength of muscle activation, as well as interacting physiological processes such as breathing, motion, and posture and their timing, shape the way we produce speech (Blasi et al. 2019, Fuchs and Rochet-Capellan 2021, Pouw et al. 2025). Importantly, the body continues to change nonlinearly across the entire lifesp

Strongly shaped by its interdisciplinarity and by profound contemporary societal transformations—whether related to methodological considerations, gender issues, or technological upheavals—Translation Studies is nowadays confronted with major reconfigurations of both its objects of study and its practices. The recent rise of artificial intelligence has notably revived and further complexified questions surrounding the notion of creativity, from ethical, economic, and artistic perspectives alike.

Can language revitalisation succeed without engaging with the community of speakers or with those who live in the territory where an Indigenous or minoritised language is spoken? What does it mean to build and belong to a community in the digital age? Can communities continue to exist and thrive despite the depopulation of rural, mountain, and peripheral areas? Do communities sometimes work against language revitalisation efforts? And what challenges does inclusion present in creating a more equ

Natural languages make extensive use of approximative expressions: forms that describe an event, state or situation as being close to a threshold, a goal or an expected outcome, without necessarily reaching it. This domain includes scalar approximators such as almost, nearly, barely and hardly, as well as constructions expressing near-attainment, near-avoidance, unrealized outcomes or frustrated expectations, including be about to, be on the verge of, come close to, try to and attempt to, especi

Desde el impulso que el trabajo de Landry y Bourhis (1997) dio al campo de estudio del paisaje lingüístico (PL), la disciplina ha venido experimentando una constante expansión de los fenómenos que suscitan el interés de los investigadores. Más allá de ser un reflejo de la diversidad lingüística existente en la comunidad que habita el espacio estudiado, el PL constituye una valiosa herramienta para analizar la interacción entre lengua y sociedad por medio de una variedad de fenómenos como el mult

The study of "inclusive language" in Spanish has been predominantly approached from disciplines such as sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and critical discourse analysis, and it has been understood as a social practice or as a space for identity construction. However, the description of these phenomena from the internal perspective of linguistics and formal grammar remains notably scarce. The main objective of this monographic panel is to bring together researchers from the field of Hispanic
