This panel invites pragmalinguistics and socio-pragmatic perspectives on microaggressions, and more broadly, forms of covert harm and interpersonal bias. Originally defined by Pierce as 鈥榖lack-white racial interactions [that] are characterized by white putdowns, done in an automatic, preconscious or unconscious fashion鈥� (Pierce, 1974: 515), microaggression has recently been described, as 鈥榮ubtle behaviors, social practices, and environmental features that express disrespectful or derogatory atti
Artistic practice is conceptualised, communicated, and legitimised through culturally specific discourses. When these discourses are not recognised, institutions risk imposing external frameworks of value onto culturally distinct practices, thereby misrepresenting how such practices are understood, what motivates them, and how meaning is produced within their own cultural contexts (Baumann, 2007; Bourdieu, 1984). Building bridges across artistic cultures therefore requires close attention to the
In the field of second language acquisition (SLA), there is a consensus among researchers that a multitude of factors come into play during the acquisition process and influence both the pace of acquisition and the success of that process.
Indeed, several factors account for inter- and intra-individual differences: age, working memory, motivation, aptitude for the L2, learning strategies, proficiency level in the L2, and the subjects鈥� linguistic repertoire, not to mention the importance of s

Recent developments in interpersonal pragmatics have reinforced the interactional and relational nature of politeness and impoliteness (Xie 2023). Correspondingly, a growing body of research has identified reciprocity as a fundamental principle underlying

We invite colleagues interested in participating in the panel 鈥淕endered Language Practices: Between Convergence and Polarization鈥� to send an expression of interest, together with a provisional title and, if possible, an abstract, to Renata Enghels (renata.enghels@ugent.be) and Marlies Jansegers (marlies.jansegers@ugent.be) by 30 September 2026.
Participants will then be asked to submit their abstract through the official IPrA 2027 submission platform by 15 October 2026

In research on evidentiality, the initial focus on languages that grammatically encode information source (Aikhenvald 2004, 2018, 2021) has subsequently widened. Studies analysing how evidential meaning is conveyed through the interaction of pragmatics, semantics and grammar have become increasingly abundant (Squartini 2001, 2008, 2018; Cornillie 2007; Albelda 2015; Cabedo and Figueras 2018), among which Romance languages, especially French (Dendale 2022 and references therein), have begun to ga

Wie werden Geschlechter in der digitalen Werbung inszeniert? Diese Studie analysiert Social-Media-Kosmetikwerbung in Deutschland und China und zeigt, welche Geschlechterbilder 眉ber Bild, Sprache und Emojis vermittelt werden und wie diese drei Zeichensysteme zusammenwirken.
Basierend auf 眉ber 600 Werbeanzeigen von Nivea und Nivea Men verdeutlicht die Studie die gezielten geschlechtsspezifischen Strategien in der neuen Werbeform - von K枚rperinszenierungen 眉ber Wortwahl bis hin zum Emoji-Einsatz.
Diese Studie untersucht die von der Linguistik bisher wenig beachtete Kommunikation von Hochschulen in sozialen Medien. Anhand eines Korpus von Postings deutscher Hochschulen auf Facebook und Twitter (jetzt X) im Zeitraum von 2019 bis 2020 wird analysiert, wie mittels der Textsorte Hochschulposting eine Organisationsidentit盲t konstruiert wird. Dabei werden auch die Kommentare der User:innen einbezogen, wobei vor allem an der Kritik von Hochschulmitgliedern die organisatorischen Probleme nachgeze
Dieses Standardwerk der deutschen Sprachgeschichte stellt die wichtigsten historischen Umbr眉che der deutschen Sprache bis in die heutige Zeit dar und leistet deren Begr眉ndung, theoretische Fundierung und typologische Einordnung. So hat sich das Deutsche von einer Silben- zu einer ausgepr盲gten Wortsprache entwickelt, was sich z.B. in Phonologie, Orthographie und Morphologie niederschl盲gt. In der Syntax wird auf das Klammerprinzip abgehoben. Diesem 眉bergreifenden und einigen weiteren Prinzipien ge
The focus on communication in TBLT often comes at the expense of form. This book enhances the task-based approach by connecting it to insights from (cognitive) grammar, which sees grammar as meaningful. It shows how grammar teaching can be integrated into a communicative lesson in a non-explicit way. Learners are involved in situations that they may also encounter outside their classrooms and are given communicative tasks they are to work on and solve. What teachers need to invest for preparing
The book provides a detailed description of the grammar of Teotitl谩n del Valle Zapotec, an endangered Mesoamerican language spoken in Oaxaca, Mexico. It also contains rich vocabulary and discussions on typologically interesting phenomena like the encoding of agents by stem alternation and complex interactions between tone and phonation, as well as topics in semantics such as the expression of location and the relevance of the posture of entities in existential predication.
This book prepares educators for the multilingual classroom, exploring the role of languages in learning across home, school and community contexts.
With up-to-date research and examples from varied K-12 educational and community settings, it offers accessible introductions to key linguistic concepts while centering social and societal considerations throughout. Practical classroom applications are provided, with discussion questions and online resources for further exploration of topics.
