Key research themes

1. How do Portuguese-lexified creoles illustrate the dynamics and diachrony of language contact and creolization?

This theme explores Portuguese-lexified creoles (PLCs) as some of the oldest European-lexified contact languages formed during the Early Modern Age's colonial expansions. Research focuses on their sociolinguistic diversity, typological variation due to extensive language contact, shifts in lexifier influence, and sociopolitical trajectories that exemplify long-term contact effects, creole formation theories, and post-formative linguistic dynamics.

Key finding: The paper documents the diachronic trajectories and typological diversity of Portuguese-lexified creoles (PLCs) emerging from Early Modern Age colonial contact, highlighting their range from fort to plantation to maroon... Read more
Key finding: This volume elaborates on universal constraints and principled pathways in language contact-induced change, discussing how social factors like speaker population sizes, prestige asymmetries, and bilingualism levels shape... Read more
Key finding: Proposes a usage-based model conceptualizing language as radially organized networks of constructions shaped by social-pragmatic context and cognitive co-use, which reframes understanding of contact phenomena like those in... Read more

2. How does multilingualism and language contact operate within intercultural and globalized communication contexts?

This theme investigates how multilingual practices function as tools of intercultural communication amid globalization and technological advances. It examines evolving interlanguage communication paradigms, the economic and marketing dimensions affecting translation and localization, and bilingual practices fostered in educational and cross-cultural settings. The research highlights the role of language contact beyond traditional linguistic frameworks, focusing on sociocultural dynamics and communication strategies in diverse global locales.

Key finding: Identifies 'locale' as a critical interdisciplinary concept integrating sociocultural, economic, and technological parameters shaping interlanguage communication. The study demonstrates how localization and transcreation... Read more
Key finding: Empirically examines bilingual pedagogical practices as effective tools for facilitating intercultural communication under globalization, demonstrating how bilingual education and academic mobility programs at a major Russian... Read more
Key finding: Provides a sociological and cultural analysis of language contact within globalized communication, emphasizing digitalization as a catalyst for unprecedented cultural interactions. The paper underscores the tension between... Read more
Key finding: Studies interaction dynamics in European School multilingual classrooms where no single shared language exists between teachers and pupils, revealing how code-switching and other communicative strategies enable cooperation... Read more

3. What are the methodological challenges and cognitive-social mechanisms in researching language contact and multilingualism?

This theme covers methodological reflections on language contact fieldwork, theoretical conceptualizations of language as a cognitive-social phenomenon, and the integration of sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, and computational methods to understand linguistic dynamics in contact settings. Research considers how individual speaker cognition, social identity, and interactional strategies mediate contact-induced variation, encouraging interdisciplinary frameworks for capturing complex multilingual realities.

Key finding: Synthesizes research on language contact that bridges micro-level speaker interaction and macro-level sociocultural factors, demonstrating how cognitive principles, identity, and social context shape linguistic behavior and... Read more
Key finding: Reviews the evolution and broadening of language contact research from early typological and creolistic studies to modern interdisciplinary inquiries incorporating sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, and computational... Read more
Key finding: Introduces a cognitive usage-based framework for defining 'language' as fluid networks of constructions linked through usage patterns rather than fixed discrete systems. Argues that language contact phenomena result from... Read more
