Workshop Description:
When we refer to entities and events in our environment, particularly (but not only) when visual information is present, we have choices. Depending on what has been said before, who or what else is in a scene, and the characteristics of what we want to refer to, we might say (among many other options) "the person running", "the runner", "the woman in the red shirt", "the one with the glasses", or "them over there".

For this edition of the Pozna艅 Linguistic Meeting, we invite participants to engage with the leitmotif 鈥淟inguistics in dialogue: looking for parallels beyond language鈥�. We would like to encourage reflection on how linguistic phenomena can be illuminated/informed by other domains.
Linguistics has long relied on analogies to describe, explain, and model language: language as a system, as a network, as a biological capacity, as a cultural phenomenon. Such metaphors ofte

The journey of Italian food language, from recipe titles, ingredient names, and menu descriptions to broader gastronomic narratives, presents a rich area for interdisciplinary study, as it crosses linguistic and cultural borders.
We are interested in examining the linguistic, semiotic, and cultural transformations that o

There have been very limited studies on the presence of loan signs in SASL and none have
