The aim of this research is to properly characterize Spanish names from Spain according to the speakers' perception of them and the social information encoded in them.
The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and can be accessed on a digital device (phone, computer, tablet).
We are looking for participants who meet the following criteria:
鈥� From Spain
鈥� Over 18 years old
鈥� Native speakers of Spanish
The survey can be accessed through this link: https://usalinvestigacion.
A real-time translator grounded in linguistic typology data 鈥� not a language model guessing sentence-by-sentence. Every translation is checked against real grammar, hazard, and safety data for that specific language pair. Currently has support for 188 languages.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how languages are taught, learned, assessed, go
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
Call for Papers:
Sign languages and the diverse paths to their acquisition offer a unique opportunity to gain insight into linguistic theory and human cognition. Structurally, the visual-gestural modality has different affordances and demands than the oral-aural modality and these have implications for linguistic theory (Perniss 2018). Socially, signer demographics are extremely varied due to factors such as (familial) hearing status, language ideology, and access to a sign language community

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

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
