Meeting Description:

The 23rd International Conference on Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP
2022) will take place at the NOVA University in Lisbon, Portugal.

Under this year’s motto “Shaping knowledge through language: LSP in theory and
practice”, it aims to provide a meeting and sharing point to showcase the
current and most recent LSP-related theoretical and methodological
perspectives, oriented towards knowledge organisation in the digital age.

This conference seeks to gather not only language specialists but also experts
from multiple areas and activities, whose methods of organising knowledge and
their respective discourses in a specialised context introduce new research
and/or applications that permeate the main challenges of the 21st century.

These challenges involve, on the one hand, resorting to the appropriate
discourse according to the – previously defined and segmented – target
audience and, on the other hand, also bringing citizens into the debate,
offering them the means to access reliable, useful, and reusable information.
The complexity increases when communication becomes multilingual,
multicultural, and when the areas of knowledge are transdisciplinary.

In a multilingual, multicultural, and digital world, LSP play a crucial role
as vehicles of specialised information in a wide range of communication
contexts. Intended to be applied in various professional areas –
communication, education, translation, among others -, LSP are not only
complex in conceptual terms but they can also be terminologically unstable,
which, in turn, has consequences for knowledge sharing.

The exploration of the proposed theme may follow a theoretical and/or
methodological path in various fields of application, from organising and
representing knowledge for linguistic purposes to specialised communication
and translation. Monitoring, observation, and/or evaluation processes of the
collected linguistic data will also be relevant, with the aim of creating
linguistic and/or didactic resources.

On the other hand, efficiency in communication is directly dependent on the
adequacy of the discourse to the target audience, who may or may not comprise
specialists. This fact leads us to think and rethink the processes of
popularisation and linguistic mediation: (i) what are the needs of the target
audience? (ii) what methods can be used to collect and learn about the
efficiency of the communication process? (iii) how does one negotiate and
co-create with the audience, taking up the challenge of co-constructing
knowledge? (iv) finally, how can LSP adapt to new forms of digital
communication, especially taking into account the ongoing demands of digital
transition?

Any of these approaches offers a wide range of opportunities for innovative
research that responds to current challenges regarding knowledge sharing and,
in addition, aimed at meeting the needs and expectations of citizens in
general in what concerns the relevance and clarity of communication, which
necessarily requires the development of new methodological practices in LSP.
