Following Hayden White and the critical historiography of the 1960s, the idea underlying this Element is that a historical text is a translation of past events. This implies that retelling stories can vary depending on the historian/translator who recounts the facts. Translating His-stories focuses on how women – Jen Bervin, Patience Agbabi, Caroline Bergvall, Erin Mouré, and many others – dare to translate stories previously told by men. In line with contemporary theories of translation, these

Call for Papers: Pronominal systems represent one of the most fertile testing grounds for understanding grammar as a symbolic system adapted to a stochastic cognitive environment. Pronouns are minimal in descriptive content but maximal in context dependency: they enable reference-tracking without lexical repetition, interact closely with information structure, and frequently give rise to mismatches between form and meaning (Onea et al. 2023). The 2026 edition of the Vienna Workshops on Por

Call for Papers: Workshop Description: Many indigenous languages currently face endangerment. Language shift involves not only social practices of bi/multilingualism with a dominant language(s), but also impacts on the structure of an endangered language itself. Specifically, it can lead to great variation and significant changes in its phonetics and morphosyntax (cf. Dorian 1981; 1989; 2010; Schmidt 1985; Grinevald & Bert 2011; Stanford & Preston 2009; Hildebrandt et al. 2017). The work

We would like to invite everyone to the third iteration of the Software Mention Detection and Coreference Resolution (SOMD 2026) shared task. Building on the success of the previous editions(SOMD 2024, SOMD 2025), this edition continues to focus on resolving software mentions across scholarly documents. We address the task of coreference resolution of software mentions across multiple documents, i.e. given a set of software mentions extracted from multiple scientific publications, related ext

2nd Call for Papers and Mentorship Provision: Dialectal and non-standard varieties pose persistent challenges for linguistic resource development. While in-depth study and large-scale resource creation for dominant or standard varieties have driven major advances in language technology, linguistic resources that adequately represent dialectal variation remain scarce. It therefore remains an open question whether standard-centric practices address dialectal variation or instead create new prob

It is a great pleasure to announce the 1st International Conference “Language, Literature & Education” which will be organized and hosted by the Department of Preschool Education of the University of Crete, Faculty of Education, University of Crete. In the context of this first conference emphasis will be put on aspects stemming from the interrelation between language and literature. Despite the fact that literature is intrinsically connected with language, since words represent “its material”

In this Element, the authors propose a new framework for studying how trust is built and manipulated in discourse and apply it to one of the most notorious cases of corporate misconduct in history: the Enron fraud. The framework outlines the discursive strategies speakers commonly use to manage trust, providing a tool for examining how language shapes relationships and enables wrongdoing in both physical and digital environments. The analysis, which focuses on a previously unexplored corpus of t

Constructions are long-term pairings in memory of form and meaning. How are they created and learned, how do they change, and how do they combine into new utterances (constructs, communicative performances) in working memory? Drawing on evidence from word-formation (blending, Noun-Noun-compounds) over idioms and argument structure constructions to multimodal communication, we argue that computational metaphors such as 'unification' or 'constraint-satisfaction' do not constitute a cognitively ade

This Element conceptualises translation reception as a form of cultural negotiation in which cognitive processes and sociocultural factors converge to form understanding. Drawing on empirical examples from a variety of translational phenomena, it maps a range of methodologies, including surveys, interviews, eye-tracking experiments, and big data analytics, to examine how heterogeneous reader expectations are either reconciled or divided. This Element argues that the ambiguities surrounding reade

I am a PhD student in linguistics at the Universitat Politècnica de València, where my doctoral research is focused on discourse analysis, with a particular emphasis on the automation of discourse analysis. Within my PhD, I am especially interested in discourse-oriented approaches to language and related theoretical frameworks. At the same time, I have a strong and long-standing interest in theoretical and structural linguistics, especially in questions related to linguistic universals and th
