Translation remains a cornerstone of the global economy, international trade, finance, and institutional activity. However, the field is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine translation (MT), which are redefining the very foundations of professional practice. Despite these changes, academic research is advancing at an uneven pace in comparison with technological developments. Studies on MT in the economic and financial doma

The book particularly focuses on the production of gender and classifiers as lexico-syntactic components of a noun

Many children worldwide grow up learning and using two or more languages. The experiences of multilingual children vary greatly. Therefore, it is impossible to treat multilingual children as a homogeneous group, and an increasing body of research examines how multilinguals differ from one another and how these differences influence their development. We aim to bring together psychology and interdisciplinary researchers who have adopted this perspective and are working toward a more realistic vie

This two-day workshop brings together an international line-up of female researchers working at the intersection of philosophy, theoretical linguistics, computational linguistics, logic, formal semantics and pragmatics, psychology, and political and social science. The event explores diverse perspectives on the semantics–pragmatics distinction, highlighting how interdisciplinary approaches can advance our understanding of meaning, context, and interpretation.

Convenor: Michela Russo (CNRS SFL UMR 7023/U. Paris 8 & UJML 3, France) Rationale: The interaction between phonology and morphology has been at the heart of generative and post-generative linguistics since the inception of both fields. Despite recurring claims about the autonomy of morphology (Aronoff 1994; see also discussion in Booij 2018) and the modularity of phonology (Kiparsky 1982, 1985; Zwicky & Pullum (1986; Scheer 2012), recent work across language families shows that many morpholo
