The Next Gen Learning: Multimodality, AI & Multilingualism Conference foregrounds multimodality as a central lens for understanding and shaping the future of education in a world where acquiring knowledge is dynamic and deeply interconnected.

Constructicography (Lyngfelt et al. 2018), the systematic description of constructions in Constructicons and construction-based lexicographic resources, has emerged as a key area at the intersection of Construction Grammar (i.e., Croft 2001), lexicography, and computational linguistics. While constructions have long been acknowledged as central units of linguistic knowledge, their consistent representation, annotation, and integration into lexicographic resources remain methodologically and tech
