YLMP Conference

On 19–21 May 2023 the Faculty of English is hosting the 8th Young Linguists’ Meeting in Poznań (YLMP) conference.

YLMP is a congress organized by and for young linguists who appreciate the significance of interdisciplinary research and therefore want to go beyond the traditional branches of linguistics. We believe that the connection between linguistics and other fields of study, such as psychology or sociology, is both crucial and pervasive. Our goal is to present the advantages of an integrated approach and emphasize its importance for contemporary linguistic research.

YLMP 2023 has the honorary patronage of the Mayor of Poznań, Mr Jacek Jaśkowiak, and of the Rector of Adam Mickiewicz University, Prof. Bogumiła Kaniewska.

Plenary lectures:

  • Jo Angouri (University of Warwick): “From interaction analysis to policy change: Putting sociolinguistic research at the centre of the impact agenda”
  • Sharon O’Brien (Dublin City University): “Translation and interpreting as essential crisis communication tools”
  • Trena Paulus (East Tennessee State University & Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań): “How a crisis is discursively constructed through social media conversations”
  • Guillaume Thierry (Bangor University & Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań): “Risk taking and lying: How bilinguals can perceive or select their languages strategically – Implications for language use in situations of conflict”

  • Mathew Cieśla (University of Alabama & Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań): “An introduction to PsychoPy experiment builder for linguistics research”
  • Trena Paulus (East Tennessee State University & Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań): “Using ATLAS.ti software to qualitatively analyze social media data”
