The Next Gen Learning: Multimodality, AI & Multilingualism Conference foregrounds multimodality as a central lens for understanding and shaping the future of education in a world where acquiring knowledge is dynamic and deeply interconnected. As learning increasingly unfolds across digital, physical, linguistic and cultural spaces, meaning-making extends beyond language to include images, sound, gesture, movement, and material interaction, allowing knowledge to be created and experienced in rich
COLDOC is a biannual conference organized by doctoral students and early-career researchers at the MoDyCo laboratory (UMR 7114 – CNRS/Université Paris Nanterre). This year's edition will be held on November 9th and 10th.
For its 16th edition, COLDOC centers on the interfaces and interactions that connect all areas of linguistics and natural language processing. Language is inherently an interactive phenomenon, yet the forms and frameworks through which interaction manifests have continued to di

Abstract: Cross-linguistic variation seems vast
It is with profound sadness that I inform you of the passing of (Marie-Madeleine) Jocelyne Fernandez-Vest, a scholar and friend, on Wednesday 25 March, 2026, in her home in Paris, France. She was born in 1947. In addition to her native French, Jocelyne was well versed in English, Estonian, Finnish, Northern Sami and Swedish. Her research interests ranged from typology (oral languages) to field linguistics (Finnish and Norwegian Sami, Finnish immigrants in California), text linguistics (informati
It is with great sadness that we share the news that Remus Gergel passed away completely unexpectedly on Sunday, 5 April 2026, at the age of 51.
Since 2016, Remus Gergel was a full professor of English Linguistics at the Department of English Studies at Saarland University, Saarbrücken. He studied English, Mathematics, Spanish, and Latin at the University of Tübingen and Louisiana State University. He received his doctorate in Tübingen in 2005. After research visits in Bilbao and at the Univ
The study of polysemy, understood as the coexistence of several related meanings within a single word, provides a window into the cognitive mechanisms that structure and generate meaning. Polysemy is not defined solely by the multiplicity of senses, but by the processes that create and link them, making it both a lexical and a conceptual phenomenon. Although linguistic and psycholinguistic research has extensively examined how speakers select the appropriate sense of polysemous words, one questi

This study is a preliminary investigation into the syntax of South African Sign Language. Utilising narrative data within a case study approach, signing is observed and analysed in terms of Radical Construction Grammar. An emphasis is placed on signs as form-meaning pairings, in which information of form is drawn from previous research on the phonology and morpho-syntax of signed languages. Meaning is explained within the same sphere, drawing on established literature regarding meaning in signed
