Oriental Meetings in Sosnowiec (Sosnowieckie Spotkania Orientalistyczne) is an interdisciplinary academic conference promoting intercultural dialogue, addressed to young scholars, including postgraduate and graduate students, whose research interests focus on the languages, literatures and cultures of Oriental countries, especially Arabic-speaking countries, Central Asian countries, China, Japan and India organized by the Institute of Linguistics of the University of Silesia in Katowice (Poland)
Background:
The study of how the human brain manages and uses multiple languages has been a central topic in cognition, psychology, and psycholinguistics for decades. Different aspects of how bilinguals activate and control their different languages, which cognitive skills are enhanced during this mental juggling, and what are the limits to the processes of language switching and mixing are a few of the topics that have been at the forefront of such research (Blanco-Elorrieta & Pylkk盲nen 2017
Lexicography and lexicology are inherently tied to how language is used, perceived, and conventionalised. The 16th International Conference on Historical Lexicography and Lexicology (ICHLL 16) invites scholars to explore how, across time, these disciplines have described, explained, and theorised the processes through which linguistic forms become established, conventional, and meaningful.
The conference theme focuses on the historical dynamics of usage, understood not as conformity to norms

From voice assistants and generative AI to the evolving relationships between humans and their animal companions, language-based communication with non-humans is becoming an increasingly common feature of the everyday. In response, we are seeing a surge in research from linguistics to philosophy to the social sciences, investigating the meanings, quandaries, and realities of this new communicative terrain. This conference aims to build a bridge between the predominantly distinct fields of human鈥�

We are inviting native English speakers to take part in a brief online study about how people perceive and evaluate English sentences.
We are currently conducting an experiment comparing how native and non-native speakers judge English sentences.
Data from native speakers will serve as baseline data for comparison with second-language learners鈥� responses, helping us better understand how people use their linguistic knowledge when evaluating sentences.
