2025 Conference > Theme

This year's theme, "Language Appropriation and Reappropriation: Theoretical, Experimental, and Corpus-Based Approaches", brings together research focused on processes of appropriation (e.g., in language acquisition during interaction, in monolingual/multilingual contexts or in migratory settings) and reappropriation of language (e.g., in cases of cultural resignification or language rehabilitation following a disorder). This theme addresses language in its development, functioning, and dysfunctions.

The focus highlights interdisciplinary approaches aimed at exploring linguistic systems and the cognitive mechanisms underlying the acquisition, transmission, and reappropriation of languages. This includes theoretical, experimental, and corpus-based research in fields such as discourse studies, language acquisition and learning, pedagogy, sociolinguistics, pathology and rehabilitation, as well as psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic studies at the language-cognition interface.

Although it emphasizes a thematic orientation, the scope of the conference remains broad and will welcome any proposal related to any linguistic field, as in the first edition.
