    <title>Grounded Cognition and Terminology: Exploring the role of motor simulation in processing concepts related to specialized knowledge</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume"><span xml:lang="en" lang="en">This study explores how prior sensory-motor experiences, related to occupational practice, facilitate access to domain-specific concepts and shape the processing of terminology. The objective is to investigate whether the mental representations involved in accessing specialized knowledge actively engage motor simulation, and whether the nature of this engagement varies according to level of expertise. In the first experimental phase, qualitative and quantitative methods were combined. This phase involved linguistic analysis using the methodologies of Corpus Linguistics and Textual Terminology to extract terms related to dental occupational practice and compile a list of stimuli for subsequent experimentation. In the second phase, two groups—21 experienced dental surgeons and 21 students of dental medicine—performed a speeded lexical decision task under two conditions. The Free Posture condition was designed to assess the effect of expertise, while the motor interference condition ai...</span></p>]]></description>

    <title>‘Sounds of change’: Ecolinguistic Approaches to Regional and Social Variation in Australian English</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume"><span xml:lang="en" lang="en">Australian English (AusE) has long been perceived as a relatively homogeneous variety of English. However, recent sociophonetic studies have revealed significant regional variation at both the segmental and suprasegmental levels. This study examines regional vowel variation in Australian English by leveraging the PAC-Australia oral corpus (2003–2023). Through both static and dynamic analytical methods, the study demonstrates that vowel quality in Australian English, particularly in diphthongs, varies according to regional and social contexts. This paper explores how regional and social dynamics influence the phonology of contemporary Australian English while questioning the limitations of fixed sociolinguistic frameworks in modern, rapidly evolving contexts. The study highlights the need for flexible and adaptive methodologies to analyse sociophonetic variation in increasingly mobile societies like Australia.</span></p>]]></description>

    <title>Motor Activity and Novel Word Learning in L2 </title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume"><span xml:lang="en" lang="en">Theories of embodied cognition assert that language processing and mental representations are inherently connected to the sensorimotor experiences collected during acquisition. This study investigated whether performing an iconic action with a real object could help French speakers learn Mandarin Chinese words more easily than under the other three conditions. In a between-subjects experiment, participants were randomly allocated to one of four conditions: observing a picture, observing an iconic action, performing an iconic action, and performing a meaningless action. The results showed that involving a motor trace facilitated the recognition of Mandarin Chinese words compared to solely viewing a picture. However, there was no significant difference between observing and performing an iconic action, suggesting that mere observation induces motor activity. Therefore, a physical movement might not be essential for the beneficial effects of enactment. Furthermore, imitating a meaningl...</span></p>]]></description>

    <title>On SENSORY PATH and other asymmetries in the encoding of vision and hearing: the case of English</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume"><span xml:lang="en" lang="en">The present article examines directional encoding of visual and auditory perception in English, i.e., expressions where the relationship between the experiencer and the perceived phenomenon is conveyed as a directional one (e.g., Professor McGonagall </span><em><span xml:lang="en" lang="en">shot a sharp look at Dumbledore</span></em><span xml:lang="en" lang="en">; A low, soft hooting </span><em><span xml:lang="en" lang="en">came from a dark shop)</span></em><span xml:lang="en" lang="en">.

    <title>Source-Goal and Slow-Fast Motion Expression in English, French and German Narratives: Across- and Within-Language Variations</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume"><span xml:lang="en" lang="en">The distinction between Verb-Framed and Satellite-Framed languages has been central in research on event encoding. While this distinction highlights general tendencies, recent research reveals substantial variation both within and across language types in the salience of Path, Manner and their subtypes. Path components like Source and Goal often display asymmetrical encodings, with Goal being typically expressed more frequently and diversely than Source. Similarly, Fast and Slow motion (Manner) show asymmetries in some languages. For example, in Estonian and Russian, Fast motion tends to be more salient than Slow motion, additionally co-occurring with Goal markers in the case of Estonian. The present study analyzes Frog-Story oral narratives from 36 adult speakers of French, English, and German, revealing nuanced cross-linguistic patterns. Contrary to assumptions about Goal primacy, Source encoding is more frequent than Goal across the data. A slight bias toward Fast-Motion is also ...</span></p>]]></description>

    <title>Ecolinguistics: Studying the interaction between language and the environment</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume"><span xml:lang="en" lang="en">Ecolinguistics has developed as an approach to language studies over the past fifty years. Since its beginnings in the 1970s it has applied the ecology metaphor to language in various ways to study the interaction between language and its environment. This paper will briefly trace the history of ecolinguistics and will then discuss its recent developments (Fill &#38; Penz 2018 ; Penz &#38; Fill 2022). Attempts to unify the diverse approaches have identified two and four different ways, respectively, in which the relationship between language and ecology is conceptualized. The latter applies the categories of a symbolic ecology, a natural ecology, a sociocultural ecology, and a cognitive ecology (Steffensen &#38; Fill 2014). With the publication of Stibbe’s (2015) book on </span><em><span xml:lang="en" lang="en">Ecolinguistics</span></em><span xml:lang="en" lang="en">, the field has taken a more discourse analytic turn, yet the other areas are still present.

      <p class="texte"><span xml:lang="en" lang="en">The term “cognitive linguistics” describes one of the main branches in modern linguistics and it encompasses different approaches, theories, and methodologies. The cornerstone of cognitive linguistics is the assumption that language is an integral part of human cognition. Considering that general cognition is deeply embodied and that language is an integral part of cognition, the only possible conclusion is that language is also embodied. Embodiment is a construct that cuts across many disciplines, such as cognitive science, philosophy, psychology and sociology (Wen &#38; Taylor 2021: 7) and which has gained a lot of ground in recent decad...</span></p>]]></description>

    <title>The impact of elicitation method on the expression of motion in adult native speakers and L2 learners</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">Many studies have examined Talmy’s hypotheses regarding satellite- and verb-framed languages (Path location, frequency of Manner and Path expression). They have tested these hypotheses across multiple languages and using a variety of different methodologies. However, few studies to our knowledge have compared data based on different methodologies with the specific aim to understand the potential impact of the elicitation materials and procedures on the findings reported. In this study, we will therefore compare data from native adult English and French speakers as well as English learners of French who have produced both narratives and individually elicited events based on short, animated video-clips. We ask if we are likely to find the patterns of motion expression as predicted by Talmy’s framework, in native speakers and learners and regardless of the type of elicitation method /discourse context. Results show that although expected typological tendencies are visible across native...</p>]]></description>

    <title>Seeing and Speaking: the modulation of attention on locative events</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">Locative events, e.g., the glass on the table, are verbalised differently across languages. For example, French, English, and Dutch differ with regards to what is encoded in the locative verb: Dutch specifies the disposition of the Figure via a Cardinal Posture Verb (i.e., the glass <em>stands</em> on the table), French leaves it unexpressed, and English mostly behaves like French but occasionally uses CPVs. This paper investigates the impact of these linguistic differences on the (very) perception of locative events in two different verbal contexts (one with, and one without interaction) via the analysis of the eye-movements of L1 speakers of French, English, and Dutch. We demonstrate how the conversational need for the expression of orientation influences the visual exploration of locative events within and across languages. First, our findings reveal that although linguistic preferences do not guide the speaker to pay attention to specific aspects of the event, the speakers may look beyon...</p>]]></description>
