Dear colleague,<br>
<br>
The University of Potsdam, in cooperation with REAL (Research group<br>
?Economics, policy analysis, and language?)<br>
<<a data-auth="NotApplicable" class="OWAAutoLink" id="OWA35d3b084-2499-fd0c-45ec-0bf83ab77bbd" href="https://www.ulster.ac.uk/research/topic/social-work-and-social-policy/research-themes/public-administration/research/real-group">https://www.ulster.ac.uk/research/topic/social-work-and-social-policy/research-themes/public-administration/research/real-group</a>>,<br>
Ulster University, Andr?ssy-Universit?t Budapest, and IPSA RC50 - The<br>
politics of languages, organises the "/Sixth REAL Symposium on Language<br>
Economics and Policy/" on 4?5 June 2026.<br>
<br>
The REAL symposia aim to discuss all aspects of language economics and<br>
language policy; and corresponding contributions are welcome. Especially<br>
welcome are papers that address the role of language skills within the<br>
context of increasing mobility, for instance in migration, in the labor<br>
market, and in education. Contributions to the symposium can cover<br>
theoretical and empirical research, or the practical implications in<br>
terms of language policy and impact. The symposium is interdisciplinary,<br>
and contributions are accepted from economics, political science,<br>
sociology, sociolinguistics, law, and related field<br>
<br>
Those interested in presenting a paper should send an abstract of no<br>
more than 500 words to: "bengt-arne.wickstroem@aub.eu" *Deadline:<br>
February 1, 2026*<br>
<br>
/Keynote speakers/<br>
<br>
* Mette Foged (University of Copenhagen): ?Effects of language<br>
training and barriers to language learning in migration contexts?<br>
* Carsten Quell (Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat): ?Reconciling<br>
competing objectives in public policy: Language policy in a diverse<br>

<br>
Advocacy Delivers: Language Education Wins in FY26 Minibus, WLARA Funding<br>
Increase<br>
<br>
[T]he House and Senate Appropriations Committees released a four bill FY26<br>
?minibus? appropriations bill that contains final compromise funding levels<br>
for the Departments of Defense Labor, HHS, and Education. The great news is<br>
that the World Language Advancement and Readiness Grants program at the<br>
Department of Defense was not only preserved but received a 50% increase.<br>
Additionally, key K-12 programs that the Trump Administration proposed for<br>
elimination ? including Title II-A (professional development), Title III<br>
(English language acquisition), Title IV-A (flexible block grant), Native<br>
Hawaiian Education and Alaska Native Education ? were retained and all<br>
would receive level funding over last year. In higher education, Title<br>
VI/Fulbright-Hays, which the Administration had also sought to defund, was<br>
preserved but did sustain a $5 million cut. The Native American Language<br>
Resource Center received a small increase. The House and Senate are<br>
expected to move this package before January 30th, when the current<br>
Continuing Resolution, which is keeping the government open, runs out.<br>

Translators are losing jobs to AI that produces "consistently mediocre<br>
results"<br>
<br>
Analysis suggests a 70% chance of automation for interpreters and<br>
translators. Rates for AI post-editing have cratered to 50-70% of what<br>
human translation used to pay ? typically $0.05-$0.15 per word compared to<br>
$0.15-$0.30 for human work. Many translators describe a dramatic disruption<br>
in wages and working conditions since OpenAI's rise.<br>

ICE Shootings Are Freaking Out the GOP. They?re Afraid to Tell Trump.<br>
<br>
Because of the unflinching personal loyalty he demands, and punishment<br>
he?ll administer on public dissenters, leading GOP officials speak in<br>
rhetorical code... This all begs the question of why, if the president is<br>
so responsive to the press narrative, more in his party don?t speak out in<br>
ways that will shape the story. They are, but you have to know how to<br>
decipher their language.<br>

Mott Poll Report<br>
<br>
The curse of children swearing<br>
<br>
Children learn new words and expressions from a variety of sources. This<br>
can include swear words, which may surprise or concern parents. The C.S.<br>
Mott Children?s Hospital National Poll on Children?s Health asked a<br>
national sample of parents of children 6-17 years about their attitudes and<br>
experiences around children swearing.<br>
<br>
In describing their own view of children using swear words, 47% of parents<br>
think it is never okay, 35% feel it depends on the situation, 12% think it<br>
depends on the word, and 6% say swear words are no big deal. Parents of<br>
teens (13-17 years) are more likely to say it depends on the situation,<br>
while parents of younger children (6-12 years) are more likely to say<br>
swearing is never okay.<br>
<br>
Most parents say their child never (44%) or rarely (32%) swears; however,<br>
24% say their child swears occasionally or frequently. Parents are more<br>
likely to report swearing at least occasionally for teens (37%) vs. younger<br>
children (14%).<br>
<br>
Parents report different reasons for children swearing: out of habit (41%),<br>
to fit in with other kids (37%), to be funny (36%), or to get attention<br>
(21%), or because ?it?s just the way kids talk these days? (27%). Parents<br>
attribute teen swearing to their teen trying to fit in, and swearing among<br>
younger children as their child trying to be funny or get attention.<br>
<br>

<br>
Summary:<br>
Volume 1 critically rethinks protest as a central sociolinguistic practice<br>
rather than an exception to an imagined social order. Drawing on<br>
transdisciplinary and various case studies ? from the Arab revolutions to<br>
Hong Kong?s Lennon Walls and South Africa?s student uprisings ? this volume<br>
explores how language, embodiment, and space intersect in acts of<br>
resistance. It is the first of a two-volume set that reshapes the field?s<br>
understanding of language in times of crisis and uprising.<br>
<br>
In Volume 2, scholars explore the complex intersections between protest,<br>
language, and decolonial thought. It challenges dominant linguistic<br>
ideologies by uncovering how language is wielded, contested, and reimagined<br>
in protests against racial, gendered, and colonial violence. From Black<br>
feminist activism in the U.S. to anti-mining movements in South Africa and<br>
pandemic protests in Chile, the chapters examine how diverse (embodied)<br>
linguistic practices resist dominant power structures and give voice to<br>
marginalized communities.<br>

Dear colleague,<br>
<br>
I am writing to seek your engagement on an extremely important federal<br>
policy issue. As you may have seen, the U.S. Department of Education is<br>
working on regulations to implement the budget reconciliation bill passed<br>
last July (the "One Big Beautiful Bill" or OB3). These regulations exclude<br>
education students from the "professional student? category.<br>
<br>
This exclusion has profound symbolic and practical implications for our<br>
profession, students, and programs. It sends the horrible message that the<br>
federal government does not consider educators to be professionals. And,<br>
crucially, it cuts off our students from needed access to federal student<br>
loans, threatening their ability to enroll or remain in our<br>
post-baccalaureate programs.<br>
<br>
The Department of Education has published the Proposed Rule<br>

inviting public comment by March 2, 2026. We must flood the Department with<br>
comments explaining the impact of this policy and seeking inclusion of all<br>
post-baccalaureate education students in the professional student category.<br>

have access to the financial aid they need:<br>
