After the success of our initial two workshops focused on meaning and form, we are excited to launch a third POQAL meeting, this time without subject limitations. We hope to welcome your research on polar(-like) questions, especially in lesser studied languages and dimensions of form and meaning. As before, the aim is to discuss the phenomenon across subdisciplines and we will do everything we can to curate a program to facilitate the inclusion of a diversity of approaches.

Final Call for Papers: Over the past years, interactions between humans and artificial interlocutors have increasingly become part of everyday life. AIs such as ChatGPT, Woebot, and Replika are perceived not merely as tools, but as helpers, confidants, or even romantic partners. These encounters compel us to rethink the linguistic, social, and epistemic foundations of concepts such as “(social) interaction,” and furthermore to reconsider the boundaries of subjectivity and identity. This inter

This theme session continues the discussion that began in various events and lately in the online workshop, 4-5 October 2025, entitled “The Figure of Irony revisited” in which the multifaceted and varied nature of irony was reestablished, its pervasive character in thought and language was reconfirmed, though, as expected, more facets were deemed necessary for further theoretical and empirical investigation.

And while the answer may seem obvious, it clearly isn't amongst others. Like how the word "Generally" is pronounced with a sort of harsh G, like J, many (including my friends) think it is pronounced as "JIF". So, I've decided to ask this very absurd question to a group of dedicated professionals, and as of right now,
