This Element aims to provide evidence-based, research-informed applications of translanguaging pedagogies across various multilingual classroom contexts. By offering both theoretical implications and specific examples of translanguaging in action, the Element aims to help educators to implement translanguaging pedagogy that challenges monolingual norms in educational institutions. The Element also explores new theoretical notions derived from translanguaging, such as translanguaging sub-spaces,
This Element highlights the role of constraints in shaping multilingualism. It discusses their conceptualisation, starting from Michel de Certeau's view of action in everyday life, and operationalisation for the study of migrants. The results of the research conducted among Gambian migrants in Italy show not only constraints but also the tactics to inhabit them, as well as non-language related aspects, for example suffering, which are grouped into five clusters. These are (1) lack of support; (2
This Element aims to expand the theoretical and methodological boundaries of Cognitive Linguistics. Research on language contact from a cognitive perspective has been neglected despite the omnipresence of linguistic contact situations. This Element addresses questions of language contact research from a cognitive perspective. The aims of this Element are twofold: first, to present the current state of the art in cognitive contact linguistics; second, to discuss existing and original theoretical
This Element explores multilingual university spaces and decoloniality, critically examining how coloniality and neoliberalism intersect. While neoliberal language policies aim to equip students with English as a 'lingua academia', critical issues relating to students' translingual identities and belonging are often overlooked. Empirical data are shared from a linguistic landscape study involving a walking ethnography of a university educationscape in the United Arab Emirates, whereby Emirati st
Reconceptualising language as a dynamic, relational, and embodied practice, this book explores the concept of languaging. Moving beyond static, standardised, and purified understandings of languages, it traces how communication is lived, contested, and embodied across urban, rural, and remote mobility, everyday encounters, classroom pedagogies, and digital platforms. Through critical analyses of First Knowledging and First Languaging, nomadic languaging and knowledging, racialised and AI-mediate
The topic of linguistic networks unites different frameworks in cognitive linguistics. This Element explores two approaches to networks, specifically Construction Grammar of the Goldberg variety and Word Grammar as developed by Hudson, and how they inform work on language change. Both are usage-based theories, but while the basic units of Construction Grammar are conventionalized form-meaning pairings gathered in a construct-i-con, the basic units of Word Grammar are words in dependency and othe

We are excited to announce the second edition of a new recurring meeting dedicated exclusively to computational psycholinguistics.
This meeting aims to provide a dedicated platform for researchers and practitioners to discuss computational models that explain and predict human linguistic behavior (e.g., as observed in psycholinguistic experiments), to bring together experts from different subfields to advance our understanding of language processing mechanisms, and to analyze the successes an
EDIMA, the IMA鈥檚 School of Didactics, is an initiative launched in 2023 by Arabic Language and Civilization Centre [CLCA] of Institut du Monde Arabe [IMA]. It gathers international figures in the teaching of Arabic as a foreign language. One of EDIMA鈥檚 long-term objectives is to create and maintain an international network of Arabic language teaching experts 鈥� researchers and field practitioners.
For its 4th edition, to be held in the autumn of 2026, EDIMA aims to explore the training of tea
This workshop explores Long Distance Agreement (LDA) phenomena, focusing on how agreement mechanisms go beyond local domains.
We aim at discussing the implications of their findings for syntactic theory, particularly regarding locality conditions, the interaction of movement with agreement, the potential overlap (or lack thereof) of Case and agreement domains, and, more generally, the variation landscape that we may expect when we compare languages differing in dependent types (infinitives, no

Focus: The program combines grammatical theory with applied teaching proposals: linguistic variation, reflective grammar, multilingualism, Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE), corpora, visual syntax, and new ways of working with grammar in the classroom.
Description:
Grammar teaching needs spaces for dialogue between research and the classroom. It is precisely with this aim that the GramEn School was created, whose second edition will take place from June 29 to July 3, 2026, in Barcelona.
HackaCon is an interdisciplinary challenge exploring one of the hardest problems in AI and interaction research: can AI generate a 鈥渞ecording鈥� of a convincingly natural-sounding conversation? Moreover, can it make that conversation sound like it has happened between two specific speakers 鈥� in our case, Agent Luke and Chris Nemesis 鈥� people who have never interacted? And can it make them chat about specific topics?
In different words, unlike conventional AI hackathons and generation tasks, Hac
