The 7th Annual Sociolinguistics Symposium (SOSY) at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign is the central annual research event organized by graduate students in Linguistics, offering a key forum for scholarly exchange across language related fields. This year鈥檚 theme, Between Languages, Between Worlds: Language, Culture, and Global Communication, foregrounds the role of language in shaping cultural connection, social positioning, and senses of belonging in an increasingly interconnected
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 鈥�(social) interaction,鈥� and furthermore to reconsider the boundaries of subjectivity and identity. This interdisciplinary workshop expl

Thinking, Doing, Learning: Usage-Based Perspectives on Second Language Learning (TDL6) brings together researchers exploring second language learning through usage-based, empirical, and theoretically grounded approaches. These perspectives view language as an embodied, semiotic, and interactional system, and understand language use as the primary condition for language learning.

Background:
The study of how the human brain manages and uses multiple languages has been a central topic in cognition, psychology, and psycholinguistics for decades. Different aspects of how bilinguals activate and control their different languages, which cognitive skills are enhanced during this mental juggling, and what are the limits to the processes of language switching and mixing are a few of the topics that have been at the forefront of such research (Blanco-

Description:
Agreement has been at the center of linguistic debate for a long time. In the case of English, its reduced morphological system has possibly fostered research in subject-verb agreement from different perspectives: theoretical, geographical, cognitive-based, among others. In fact, a wide range of p
Call for Chapters: Advances in Northeast Indian Languages and Technologies, Volume 1
Digital Futures for Indigenous Languages: Culture, Technology, and Preservation
As Northeast India's indigenous languages face unprecedented challenges in the digital age, this inaugural volume examines how technology can serve as a tool for preservation, revitalization, and community empowerment. Bringing together scholars, technologists, and community practitioners, this collection explores innovative appr
This volume revisits foundational theories in Applied Linguistics with the aim of reassessing their continued relevance, scope, and applicability in contemporary language-related practices. Conceived as an integrative and emergent discipline, Applied Linguistics has historically drawn on major linguistic theories to address practical concerns in language teaching and learning, translation, literary analysis, and cultural studies. Revisiting these theoretical foundations allows for a clearer unde

The term 鈥渉eteroglossia鈥� was used by Bakhtine (see Emerson and Holquist, 1981) to designate the semiotic function of linguistic variation in the novel (languages, dialects, or registers). Recently, sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology have recontextualized it to designate the use of linguistic repertoires in which elements appear that, in theory, could be attributed to different varieties. The heteroglossic approach involves an epistemological approach that moves away from the conception
