Healthcare delivery in most African countries is done in official languages which for the most part are colonial. Cameroon for example has 283 languages (Eberhard, Simons and Fennig, 2023) with an Official bilingual (English and French) policy which government thrusts ferociously with little or no realistic sociolinguistic foundation. Many other African countries have adopted colonial languages as official languages (English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, etc. depending on whom their colonial mas

Convenors: Lívia Körtvelyessy and Thomas Van Hoey Workshop title: When Sounds Speak: Toward a Typology of Sound Symbolism and Iconicity Abstract: The idea of sound symbolism or iconicity as “inmost, natural similarity association[s] between sound and meaning” (Jakobson and Waugh 2002: 182) in onomatopoeia and, more broadly, in ideophones, has a long tradition. As noted by Akita, “the large majority of studies agree that languages involve sound symbolism, and speakers of the languages ca

Organised by Laure Lansari, Florent Moncomble & Océane Foubert New modes of discourse have emerged over the last twenty years, linked to a number of technological innovations. These modes of discourse are sometimes referred to as ‘technodiscourses’, which call into question the traditional dichotomy between written and oral communication. Linguists have gradually taken an interest in these technodiscourses, which raise important methodological and theoretical questions, forcing the field of l

Workshop Description: Expressivity is a category in natural languages that concerns the direct expression of emotions and attitudes (in contrast to their description). Expressive meaning can be conveyed at all linguistic level: by lexical expressions, special syntactic constructions, intonation or on the pragmatic level by expressive speech acts. While expressivity has been approached from many different angles and has been studied in almost all disciplines of linguistics (see the Oxford Han

The thematic session of the conference aims to explore the contribution of fieldwork experimental phonetics to language documentation (Demolin 2002; Gibbon 2020), both with respect to under-researched languages and linguistic minorities, and in relation to the sociophonetic variability of these languages and the development of oral archives. Over time, the aims of fieldwork experimental phonetics have expanded in both thematic scope and methodological techniques. In addition to acoustic data,
