At the end of 2021, Maria Economidou-Kogetsidis, Milica Savic, Anders Myrset and I had our first conversations about editing a book on L2 pragmatics & young language learners. In our blog entry we explain why we felt that this book was needed: channelviewpublications.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/y...

We are deeply worried about recent developments on some social media platforms that no longer prohibit insults based on a person's appearance, ethnic or national background, gender, health, religion, or sexual orientation.
We are committed to a respectful communication style.

Circumstances in many places all over the world have been challenging in 2024. I wish all of us a peaceful, happy and healthy 2025, and hope that we will experience a renewed appreciation for democratic processes, kindness, and living in harmony with each other & nature in the new year.

Interesting research project focusing on openings & closures of "academic degree programs (BA, MA, minors, majors, PhD) in languages or linguistics, literatures and cultural studies, translation or interpreting studies, and language teaching offered in university language centers" in Europe.
Universities all over Europe are cutting language programs and closing the doors to the world. We want to get a more complete picture: where, when, why?
If you know of any such cases, please tell us (and share the link with your language and linguistics contacts)!

Over the years, I have frequently referred to "Let's talk and talk about it" by Willis Edmondson & Juliane House (1981), which had been out of print for some time. I was delighted to come across "Expressions, Speech Acts & Discourse" by Edmondson, House & Kadar published in 2023 by CUP.
