I cicli XL e XLI del Dottorato in Studi linguistici, letterari e interculturali in ambito europeo ed extra-europeo dell’Università degli Studi di Milano organizzano il convegno dottorale biennale dal titolo “(S)confinamenti. Forme, funzioni e crisi dei binarismi.” In questa occasione si intende avviare una riflessione multidisciplinare sul concetto di binarismo, inteso non come semplice coppia di elementi, ma come configurazione relazionale in cui i termini si definiscono reciprocamente, instaur

Running since 2018, and so far hosted in the UK and Spain, the Language Policy Forum (LPF) is an international conference bringing together researchers and practitioners from around the world, working across the broad field of Language Policy and Planning.

We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming International Forum on International Forum of Trans-migrant Education in Asia (IFTEA), which will take place from March 26th to 27th, 2027 at National Kaohsiung Normal University in Taiwan.

It offers linguists an interdiscip

The creation of fieldwork-based corpora of spontaneous oral discourse in lesser-known, often endangered languages over the past 25 years has led to a wealth of empirical material for investigating the use of grammatical patterns in actual speech (Schnell, Haig & Seifart 2021). The proposed thematic session intends to explore such corpus data with regard to the discourse use of nonverbal predicates in typologically diverse languages. In contrast to the canonical verbal predicates, which expres

We would like to invite you to the Young Scholars Forum (YSF) of EACL-13 (the 13th International Conference of the European Association of Chinese Linguistics) to be held in Paris-Aubervilliers, Campus Condorcet, on 3-4 September 2026.

This panel explores how ‘wisdom’ is conceptualized, articulated, and spoken about across diverse linguistic and cultural settings. A particularly rich point of departure is the contemporary resurgence of ‘wisdom talk’ in the context of planetary crises: ecological degradation, technological acceleration, democratic decline, and anxieties surrounding the future of humanity. In such conditions, appeals to wisdom often index both anxiety and aspiration. They may foreground indigenous knowledges

We invite the submission of abstracts for the Computational Linguistics poster session of the 49th annual meeting of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS), hosted by the University of Jena. We invite submissions from all areas of computational linguistics, ranging from models of language across all linguistic areas to corpus lingusitics, multimodal approaches and studies on LLM capability assessment. We especially encourage students and junior researchers to participate. The poster session is

Today’s democracies are facing increasing internal and external threats. Alongside political polarization and widespread mis‑/disinformation, recent OECD data (2024) indicates a declining trust in national governments and public institutions, with many citizens feeling unable to influence public decisions. Simultaneously, participatory practices – both grassroots and institutionally organized – are expanding. This tension between decreased democratic trust and attempts to increase participation

The conference on "The Syntax of Nominal Copular Clauses: Cross-linguistic description and formal theories'" (SyNCC) is part of the AHRC/DFG-funded SynCop project (http://syncop.info). It will focus on the syntax and semantics of sentences with a nominal predicate, aiming for a discussion with both breadth and depth. The immediate goal of the conference is to bring together both theoretical insights from in-depth analysis and a broadening of the empirical landscape to include work on un(der)-stu

We are organizing a thematic school with a strong interdisciplinary focus centered on linguistics, logic, the role of diachrony in conditional constructions, and corpus studies. Following three successful thematic schools in 2019, 2022, and 2024, the upcoming Conditionals school will take place at INALCO in Paris from October 26 to 30, 2026. While the school primarily aims to provide French researchers with the latest developments in the logical, linguistic, and cognitive aspects of condition

This is a panel at the 20th International Pragmatics Conference (IPrA20). Panel: The Sociopragmatics of Mediated and Digital Stylization Convenors: Jan Chovanec (Brno) and Christian Ilbury (Edinburgh) In their everyday communication, individuals adopt various social styles and enact a range of identities, both matter-of-factly and strategically (Coupland 2007, Bucholtz and Hall 2005). Such discursive performance of identity is realized via stylization, i.e., the speakers’ conscious and in

Concept: Human society is passing through a period of rapid technological change. Artificial intelligence, social media, machine learning, automated translation, digital publishing, virtual communication and other emerging technologies are changing how people communicate, learn, work, create knowledge and relate with one another. These technologies are also changing the ways languages are used, taught, documented, translated and preserved. Language is at the centre of these changes. New te
