El objetivo del encuentro es reunir a personal investigador interesado en analizar, debatir y visibilizar las múltiples manifestaciones de la discriminación lingüística en diferentes contextos sociales, educativos, institucionales y mediáticos.

This theme session continues the discussion that began in various events and lately in the online workshop, 4-5 October 2025, entitled “The Figure of Irony revisited” in which the multifaceted and varied nature of irony was reestablished, its pervasive character in thought and language was reconfirmed, though, as expected, more facets were deemed necessary for further theoretical and empirical investigation. The present theme session once again aims to extend the discussion of irony in figur

Pronominal systems represent one of the most fertile testing grounds for understanding grammar as a symbolic system adapted to a stochastic cognitive environment. Pronouns are minimal in descriptive content but maximal in context dependency: they enable reference-tracking without lexical repetition, interact closely with information structure, and frequently give rise to mismatches between form and meaning (Onea et al. 2023). The 2026 edition of the Vienna Workshops on Portuguese Linguistics,

The DUO Colloquium investigates the effects of the radical changes that have taken place in the language industry since 2017, when the machine translation platform DeepL launched, but especially since the arrival of ChatGPT and other GenAI systems in 2022. Now that machine translation has become the norm, the roles played by human linguists are shifting – towards multilingual communication management but also towards intercultural, linguistic and technological consulting. This shift means that t
