Face Work and Social Media

The University of Hildeheim organizes a conference ‘Face Work and Social Media’. It will focus on communication in social online formats and investigate whether and how users develop specific linguistic strategies for the phatic – and in a broader sense pragmatic – aspect of communication, whether particular constraints of the formats necessitate a different handling of face work, and whether users apply new strategies, perhaps even in a reflected way.

Language and Super-diversity: Explorations and Interrogations

The aim of this international conference is to investigate the perspective and potential offered by super-diversity to language study – to, for example, linguistics, sociolinguistics, sociology of language, linguistic anthropology, applied linguistics, discourse studies, new literacy studies, pragmatics, ethnography and multi-modality.
The conference provides a forum for researchers to explore the forms, processes, practices and effects of super-diversity and the multi-faceted challenge it poses to language study, calling forth a revision of some of its key tools – its theoretical apparata, methods of data gathering and analytic concepts.

Atelier TALN 2013 : 20e conférence sur le Traitement Automatique des Langues Naturelles

Les recherches en traitement automatique des langues peu et moyennement dotées connaissent actuellement un regain d’intérêt à travers la constitution de corpus et de lexiques dans une perspective globale de préservation du patrimoine culturel. Les langues régionales sont généralement à ranger dans cette catégorie,  car les ressources électroniques pour ces langues sont rares, peu visibles et sous exploitées, parfois inexistantes. Doter ces langues de ressources électroniques (notamment de corpus écrits, de lexiques et de dictionnaires) est un enjeu considérable pour leur diffusion, leur enseignement, leur sauvegarde, leur normalisation…

Abstract submission deadline: 29 march 2013

The 12th International Cognitive Linguistics Conference (ICLC)

The 12th International Cognitive Linguistics Conference (ICLC) will be held on 23-28 June 2013 at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

This is the first time the conference will be held in Canada––it was last held in North America in 2001 (UCSB). Since then, meetings have been held in Spain (2003), Korea (2005), Poland (2007), and China (2011). The deadline for submission of abstracts is Thursday, 1 November 2012.

The overall theme of the conference is COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS AT 25, with three sub-themes:

LOOKING BACK: We take stock of the past 25 years in cognitive linguistics. The year 2013 marks nearly 25 years since the 1989 Duisburg conference that solidified the cognitive linguistics approach, reified it in name, and established the journal, Cognitive Linguistics.

LOOKING FORWARD: We consider the next generation of cognitive linguistics research.

LOOKING OUTWARD: We look to understudied populations and applications, particularly in regard to endangered languages and signed languages.
