Call for Papers: In an ever-changing, increasingly complex and plural world, attitudes often play a central role in public discourse. This also holds true for attitudes towards languages. These attitudes begin to emerge in the family and at school and continue to develop throughout life as we participate in society. In this way, they help to shape our relationship to languages and our identity. Applied linguistics has long been concerned with language attitudes. The focus has been on soci

The current communication pattern worldwide is marked by two key features: digital connectivity and civic unrest. Communities co-produce meaning through nuanced, often contested communicative acts that range across generational, cultural, and ideological boundaries. This panel proposes that intercommunity interaction is not merely an exchange of information but a dynamic space of pragmatic negotiation, in which utterances are determined by context, implicature, and social intent (Levinson, 2023)

La pragma虂tica diacro虂nica se ha consolidado recientemente como li虂nea de investigacio虂n en los estudios sobre discurso. De un modo concreto, estudia el uso de la lengua en contextos del pasado y analiza co虂mo las formas y funciones lingu虉i虂sticas se configuran y transforman a trave虂s del tiempo (Stein, 1985; Jucker, 1995; Taavitsainen y Fitzmaurice, 2007), atendiendo tanto a aspectos discursivos como sociales. De este modo, su desarrollo ha permitido ampliar el campo de la lingu虉i虂stica histo虂r

Digital platforms are increasingly organised around practices of reacting. Across platforms, reactions are shaped by affordances and emic labels, from low-threshold uptake such as likes, comments, quotes, reposts, or stitches to elaborate audiovisual formats such as live responses and reaction videos. At this end of the spectrum, reception becomes a "vernacular form of visual production" (Kim 2016: 333): prior content is watched, paused, felt, discussed, and repackaged before an audience. Positi

Call for Papers: The workshop submission deadline has been extended to July 31! One of the central goals of syntactic typology is to reduce complex linguistic phenomena鈥攁nd the often fine-grained variation they exhibit across languages鈥攖o a set of simpler underlying mechanisms. This enterprise involves deriving a wide range of syntactic constructions from constrained sets of features or other syntactic primitives that can combine in different constellations across languages. In this worksh

Against a backdrop of global educational change, rapid advances in digital technologies, and ongoing transformations in knowledge production, language and literacy education is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges.

Scalar focus particles (ScalFocPs) like 鈥榚ven鈥� and 鈥榦nly鈥� have played a central role in alternative semantics and related fields ever since their development (Jacobs 1983, Rooth 1985, 1992). Their syntax and semantics have been at the center of much recent work on languages other than commonly studied varieties of English (cf. Hole 2013, Sun 2020 on Vietnamese; Quek & Hirsch 2017 on Singaporean English; Hole 2017, 2023, Wimmer 2020, 2022, Yuan 2024 on Chinese; Yip 2024, 2026 on Cantonese, Vietna

A general lack of knowledge about the social and cultural aspects surrounding the English language still prevents many learners from reaching high levels of proficiency. In reflecting people鈥檚 ways of thinking and acting, the English language cannot and should not be studied removed from the social and cultural connotations that it holds in the minds of its speakers. It is to such meanings that this book will draw attention. By examining and exemplifying the five major pillars of sociolinguistic
