The Conference in Digital Humanities and Digital Studies aims to deliver a unique interdisciplinary scientific event in this burgeoning field, bringing together scholars and practitioners interested in these developments. The conference is an opportunity to foster a dynamic dialogue between the large environment of the digital humanities and the various scientific organizations and fields of digital studies. To this end, the event will provide a platform to explore possible collective projects and assess the actual and potential impacts of digital humanities and digital studies on education, research and practice. We believe in the need to work on collective definitions of digital humanities and digital studies, and foresee their developments and directions over the next few years.

Applied Linguistics; Computational Linguistics; Discourse Analysis; General Linguistics; Semantics

This is a joint event of the University of Eastern Finland and MultiLingNet.

The conference considers all aspects of the linguistic and sociolinguistic competences and practices of bi-/multilingual speakers who cross existing social and linguistic boundaries, adopting or adapting themselves to new and overlapping linguistic spaces.

L’expression des événements de déplacement est un phénomène à multiples facettes, qui se trouve au carrefour de la morphologie, de la sémantique lexicale, de la syntaxe, du discours et de la pragmatique. La recherche récente s’est interrogée sur sa nature composite, montrant comment l’expression du déplacement fait intervenir des paramètres spécifiques aux langues, qui interagissent avec celle-ci (Beavers, Levin et al. 2010). L’objectif de ce colloque est d’explorer ces facteurs plus avant, en mettant l’accent sur le rôle du verbe et la comparaison interlingue, tout en encourageant des approches diverses (Levin 1993, Aurnague 2011, Stosic 2019) à partager leurs analyses.

American Name Society (ANS)

Although toponyms are often taken for granted in our daily lives, they bear considerable potential for acquiring personal and social meanings depending on their contexts and co-texts of use. These multi-layered meanings are often utilized by authors as a literary resource to evoke associations or invoke evaluative positioning. Papers accepted for this panel will explore how the meaning potential of place-names—be they real or fictional—is effectively harnessed to shape literary settings within specific works or by specific authors. Examples of themes that can be addressed include toponyms choice/invention and their connotations; toponyms in translation; toponyms in literary theory; and toponyms and intertextuality.

Heinrich-Heine-Universität, Düsseldorf, Department for English Language and Linguistics

Recent research on the production and comprehension of morphologically complex words in speech and writing has shown that morphological structure may influence their phonology, articulation, acoustics and spelling. So far, the range of investigated phenomena and languages is still small. Nevertheless, the results obtained so far pose serious challenges for current theories of phonology-morphology interaction, of the mental lexicon and of language production, perception and comprehension.

Universität Graz

The assumption of an interaction between grammatical subsystems depends very much on the theoretical paradigm: While some synchronic and diachronic grammatical theories, such as Optimality Theory (OT) and grammaticalization theory, early based their fundamental assumptions on the interaction of grammatical modules, the idea of autonomous subsystems predominated in early phases of the Generative paradigm before the interest in language acquisition and change increased (see Fischer & Gabriel 2016: 8). Nowadays, the term itself is ambiguous since it is used in different ways: in a wider interpretation, the term “interface” refers to the connection between linguistics and other disciplines (e.g. philosophy, psychology) as well as to the connection between the language faculty and other aspects of cognitive domains, i.e. the external or non-linguistic interfaces.

The ComputEL-4 workshop will focus on the use of computational methods in the study, support, and revitalization of endangered languages. The primary aim of the workshop is to continue narrowing the gap between computational linguists interested in working on methods for endangered languages, field linguists working on documenting these languages, and the language communities who are striving to maintain their languages.

Le congrès national des professeurs de français Le français donne la note s'est montré un des événements phare dans le paysage de l'enseignement du français aux Pays-Bas. Ce congrès bisannuel aura lieu les 19 et 20 mars 2021, pendant la Semaine de la Francophonie. Son slogan Le français donne la note est axé sur les nombreuses cultures de la planète où le français a trouvé sa place. Il renvoie aussi à sa place aux Pays-Bas en voulant inciter les dirigeants à promouvoir le français. Ce qui inspirera le comité organisateur d’offrir aux 500 participants (attendus) un éventail multicolore d'ateliers ayant tous en commun l'enseignement du français et sa didactique.

Reference is considered here in the nominal domain – pronouns included – and is understood as the designation of the mental representation of an entity, regardless of whether the latter exists in the extralinguistic world.

European Association for Studies of Australia (EASA)

Australia may be defined as a society increasingly preoccupied yet also gambling with the future, a worry or denial which is closely connected to the notion of risk as a systematic way of dealing with, inducing and introducing hazards and insecurities. Apocalyptic speculations about future events are often employed in regard to feared scapegoats, such as climate change, migrants and Indigenous peoples, who are blamed for threatening or damaging society. Denial and scepticism have become the resort of political and social movements, yet fear and anxiety are perhaps the dominant affective modes of expressing one’s attachment to the Australian community or nation.

Australia as a Risk Society: Hope and Fears of the Past, the Present and the Future

The aim of the conference is to discuss issues on the formal and functional characterization of adverbs in German, crossing language-specific, descriptive and theoretical research and drawing on inputs from all theoretical backgrounds, from cross-linguistic research. Methodological, epistemological and historical contributions are welcome, as well.

Die Tagung wird sich primär mit dem Deutschen befassen, aber vergleichende, kontrastive und typologische Vorträge unter Berücksichtigung des Deutschen sind ebenfalls erwünscht. Die Arbeitssprachen sind Deutsch und Englisch.

NOR Research Group at the University of the Basque Country

The 18th International Conference on Minority Languages, to be held in Bilbao (Basque Country) from 24th to 26th March 2021, is organized by the NOR Research Group at the University of the Basque Country. It will deal with the subject of minority or small languages and minority speakers all over the world. It aims to create a dialogue among disciplines by asking how minority languages are facing those challenging new multilingual and multicultural circumstances, and how minority speakers are negotiating and reinventing minority linguistic resources in moving locally and globally.

In this workshop, we aim to discuss various manifestations of linguistic variation and language contact between Latin and other languages of the Roman Republic and of the Roman Empire, which accompanied the intense exchanges of artefacts, material products, literary motives and ideas through the Ancient Mediterranean.

Historical Linguistics

In 2021 the 13th meeting of the international Symposium on (Im)Politeness and the 7th meeting of the biannual iMean (interaction and meaning) conference will be merged for a meeting on the “pragmatics of translation” on 24-26 June, 2021. We will invite papers on translation outcomes and processes which highlight a pragmatic angle of understanding the transfer of language phenomena across cultures and intra-culturally. We approach translation from a broad perspective, including written textual translation from source to target language as well as other modalities such as signing, simultaneous translation or audiovisual translation by professional and lay people. We also include topics such as explaining meaning to each other or translating sensual experience into language.

International Pragmatics Association (IPrA)

The conference, organized by the International Pragmatics Association (IPrA), is open to all topics relevant to linguistic pragmatics, conceived broadly as the interdisciplinary (cognitive, social, cultural) science of language use.

ICLaVE|11 takes place at the University of Vienna, Austria, with kind support from the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

The International Conference on Language Variation in Europe, ICLaVE, is one of the most important fora for research in the area of language variation in Europe. It aims at bringing together scholars of languages and language varieties spoken in Europe with the purpose of discussing empirical, methodological and theoretical issues in the study of language variation and change on the continent.

University of Warsaw, Poland

The conference theme, “Bilingualism in Flux”, presents bilingualism as a dynamic and multifaceted phenomenon existing on a continuum. The in flux part of the theme is a twofold concept. First, it is understood as relating to non-linguistic circumstances that foster not only diverse, but also transient bilingual communities throughout the world. Nowadays, new waves of migration influence the linguistic status quo and enrich existing environments. Second, it pertains to the very processes taking place in language, a dynamic entity prone to changes. The fluctuating circumstances entail linguistic consequences reflected in the development of the second and further languages, cross-linguistic influence, language attrition, incomplete acquisition, and maintenance of heritage languages. Finally, the conference leitmotif highlights not only the local changes presently taking place in Poland, but also the country’s linguistic heritage.

This conference begins with the notion that English is today used by about 1.5 billion people, less than a third of whom speak it as their first language. This minority-majority reversal has significantly impacted the grammatical characteristics of English, the demographics of the Anglophone population, the domains in which English is used, and attitudes towards the language, which has been described both as a venue for increased global communication and as a cultural and economic predator. The history of the language is being rewritten as well, from one defined by conventional periodization and the triumph of English as a Germanic language, to one that has reoriented the historical and contemporary significance of the language’s traditional homelands. The Once and Future English asks the question: How will English’s present and past look to future speakers?
