The conference Construal in Language and Discourse invites contributions that examine construal as a central concept for understanding meaning construction across language, different forms of discourse, cognition, narrative, and multimodal communication. In Cognitive Linguistics, construal refers to how speakers and writers conceptualise experience by selecting, structuring, profiling, foregrounding, backgrounding, and simulating aspects of a scene. This conference adopts and extends this vie

While weather has always been part of everyday discourse, contemporary concerns—environmental uncertainty, climate change, and technological challenges—have intensified scholarly attention across the humanities and sciences. From early views of weather as an unpredictable force embedded in cosmic or divine order, through the eighteenth-century shift toward systematic observation and measurement, meteorology has evolved alongside cultural, scientific, and epistemological frameworks. Today, extrem

The Indebtedness in Linguistics Conference explores the notion of indebtedness in linguistic exchanges, focusing on the ways speakers express, acknowledge, or negotiate a relational imbalance, particularly through gratitude, apologies, or expectations of reciprocity. The aim is to compare linguistic practices across European and Asian languages. We encourage comparative contributions or studies on lesser-studied languages. The conference, funded by the CEL laboratory (Jean Moulin Lyon 3 Unive

SUMMARY Published in 2025, Patricia Kolaiti’s second book, “Literature and Art as Cognitive Objects: From a Poetics of Language to a Poetics of Actions,” aims to transmit a multidisciplinary approach to contemporary criticisms of literature and arts.

Editors Takako Kawabata tk70@soas.ac.uk Daniela Cesiri daniela.cesiri@unive.it Call for Abstracts Overview and scope Language and food both function as semiotic systems that rely on shared conventions to convey meaning and to organize social life. As Roland Barthes (2008: 24) argued, food is not simply nourishment but “a system of communication, a body of images, a protocol of usages, situations, and behavior.” In much the same way, language is never a neutral tool. It structures

Description: The Department of Linguistics seeks applications for a lecturer in linguistics, with a focus on teaching and advising in formal semantics. The ability to teach and advise students in another area in addition to semantics is a plus. The lecturer will be responsible for teaching four courses in this area (two per semester). We anticipate a mix of graduate and undergraduate courses, to include semantics courses at both levels, and courses possibly from among the following: an underg

While LabPhon has long advanced the experimental study of tone and intonation, explicit cross-domain research

Call for Papers: How do we persuade someone to act against their initial intentions? How do we reshape what they think about an issue? Language is our most powerful tool for influence. We use it to convince, persuade, cajole, and coax, often without even realizing it. Words mold opinions, shift attitudes, and guide behavior. This symposium places the persuasive power of language at its very core. Linguists have traditionally examined the workings of persuasive language in institutionali

Call for Papers: Workshop Description: Digital humanities (DH) stand at the intersection of computing and the humanities, involving collaborative transdisciplinary research. While current DH practice already shows an impressive array of new digital tools and methods for the study of the humanities, we believe that natural language processing techniques and experience can significantly enhance the field, while DH can also bring new testbeds and problems for the NLP community. The 4th DHan
