Meeting Description:

5th International Symposium Language for International Communication. Linking
Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Language for Specific Purposes in the Era of
Multilingualism and Technologies

The Department of English Studies and the Centre for Applied Linguistics in
cooperation with the Department of Romance Studies at the Faculty of
Humanities of the University of Latvia are pleased to announce the 5th
International Symposium on Language for International Communication to be held
online from Riga on April 28-29, 2022.

The symposium invites the debate on new perspectives and developments in
research on Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) and specialised discourse and
welcomes contributions from such fields as terminology, genre studies,
discourse studies, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, to mention some. The scholars
are encouraged to share their insights into the aims and methods of current
research on LSP and specialised discourse, by reviewing LSP status and
emergent issues. The symposium aims at gaining a holistic overview of
state-of-the-art research in LSP area.

The symposium aims at bringing together scholars, practitioners and emerging
researchers in LSP as well as language technology product developers and
providers. The participants are invited to share their research and practical
know-how of teaching LSP to students of different training programmes,
connecting the language classroom with workplace relevance. The forum for
young researchers will be held in conjunction with the symposium and as such
will provide students and junior researchers with the opportunity to present
their research and receive feedback from experienced scholars.
