For this edition of the Poznań Linguistic Meeting, we invite participants to engage with the leitmotif “Linguistics in dialogue: looking for parallels beyond language”. We would like to encourage reflection on how linguistic phenomena can be illuminated/informed by other domains.
Linguistics has long relied on analogies to describe, explain, and model language: language as a system, as a network, as a biological capacity, as a cultural phenomenon. Such metaphors ofte

CLaSIC 2026 celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Centre for Language Studies at NUS. To mark this milestone, we invite educators, researchers, and practitioners to explore how language education is evolving in an age of rapid technological change. While AI and digital tools increasingly shape teaching and learning, a central question remains: How does the human teacher continue to guide, transform, and enrich language learning today?
Our central theme focuses on the role of the teacher in A
The call for proposals is now open for the VII International Congress of RECoD. This edition brings together academics and researchers to explore current debates on digital discourse in and about the Spanish language, focusing on research advances and theoretical-methodological reflections.
Call for Proposals:
We invite submissions that analyse digital discourse in Spanish through various theoretical and applied perspectives. Possible thematic areas include:
- Discourse and image analysi
This conference seeks to explore the dynamic and complex ways in which Italian culinary discourse was and is constructed, translated, and consumed within Anglophone contexts. The journey of Italian food language, from recipe titles, ingredient names, and menu descriptions to broader gastronomic narratives, presents a rich area for interdisciplinary study, as it crosses linguistic and cultural borders.
We are interested in examining the linguistic, semiotic, and cultural transformations that o
SUMMARY
The study conducted in this research is based on a youth language in Aflao, Ghana. The researcher answers two vital questions in this study: ‘What is involved in the creation of Adzagbe among the youth of Alfao?’ and ‘Why do the youth of Aflao create Adzagbe? The researched language, Adzagbe, is an Ewe-based youth language that was created as a code or secret language amongst the youth of Aflao. This study demonstrates what exactly goes into creating this youth language. This research

Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa’s history of segregation was a large contributing factor for lexical variation in South African Sign Language (SASL) to come about. Foreign sign languages certainly had a presence in the history of deaf education; however, the degree of influence foreign sign languages has on SASL today is what this study has aimed to determine. There have been very limited studies on the presence of loan signs in SASL and none have

This volume presents a series of studies and reviews that provide insights into grammatical variation and the development of code-switching in neurotypical speakers, as well as into language mixing practices among individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions. Across seven chapters, a range of themes is explored, including: community norms and language practices, the influence of caregivers on bilingual development, attitudes and ideologies surrounding bilingualism, code-switching as a communic
This book explores the application of Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies to teaching Persian as a foreign language, with particular focus on Arabic-speaking learners. Drawing on empirical data from the AZFA Persian Learner Corpus at Ilam University, it demonstrates how computational methods can address longstanding pedagogical challenges in Persian language instruction. The work examines learner corpus development and annotation frameworks, presenting systematic approaches to categor
This book presents a comprehensive framework for teaching Persian as a foreign language through culturally immersive digital games, specifically designed for Iraqi Arabic-speaking learners. Grounded in interactional linguistics, task-based language teaching, and sociocultural theory, the study develops and evaluates seven digital games that address critical challenges in Persian acquisition: pronunciation of difficult phonemes (/?/, /x/, /?/), vocabulary retention, grammatical accuracy (imperati
This book presents a comprehensive corpus-based pedagogical grammar of the Persian verbal system specifically designed for Iraqi Arabic-speaking learners. The Persian verb system constitutes one of the most challenging aspects of Persian grammar for second language learners, involving complex morphological structures, intricate semantic distinctions, and sophisticated discourse functions. For Iraqi Arabic speakers, whose first language organizes verbal information through fundamentally different
The field of Teaching Persian as a Foreign Language (TPFL) has long relied on materials that, while practical, rarely draw on systematic insights from generative linguistics, cognitive semantics, or second-language acquisition research. As a result, persistent transfer errors, particularly from Arabic, Turkish, and English, continue to fossilize, and complex features such as the ezafe construction, the particle r?, and the pragmatic system of taarof remain disproportionately difficult to acquire
The volume examines migration from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to the German diaspora, offering a multifaceted perspective that combines historical and contemporary insights. It moves beyond viewing migration as a momentary event, instead situating it within a broader narrative that considers the impact of origin countries. By studying communities such as Georgians, Jews, Aramaic speakers, Kurds, Afghans and Berbers, the book explores how linguistic, social, and cultural facto
For 150 years there has been a question over how the Austronesian languages of eastern Indonesia and Timor-Leste fit into the Austronesian world. The area is severely under-documented. There has been no consensus on the classification of these languages, and scholars admit to being perplexed. This is the first systematic attempt at subgrouping the whole region based on historical phonology, supplemented by morphosyntax and the lexicon. Insights from archaeology, DNA studies, and awareness of lon
Even is an endangered Northern Tungusic language spoken in numerous small settlements by formerly completely nomadic hunters and reindeer herders dispersed over northeastern Siberia, from the Lena-Yana watershed in the west to the Sea of Okhotsk and Kamchatka in the east. This geographical spread has led to considerable dialectal fragmentation, with substantial differences between the peripheral dialects, not least due to differential contact influence.
