Meeting Description:

39. Romanistiktag Universität Konstanz | 22.–25. September 2025
Constancy and change through new technologies: Linguistic impact of
new technologies in the workplace

The starting point of this section is the impact of new technologies
on language, linguistic practices and communicative routines in the
workplace. Technical innovations such as translation services, which
are based on neural networks and other artificial intelligence
processes, have significantly improved the quality of translations. In
addition to translation and language learning apps, collaborative
tools such as MS Teams are now an integral part of everyday
(professional) life and are changing communication and interaction
processes. This also leads to a profound impact on linguistic
practices and communicative routines, which we will examine using the
workplace and vocational training as examples. Thus, the section is
located in the field of Workplace Studies, “which investigate work,
technology and interaction in complex organizations” (Knoblauch/Heath
1999: 163, our translation) and interactional linguistics, which lies
at the interface between linguistics and conversation analysis, and
focuses on the analysis of interactional language. This is defined as
“language use that is based on a sequentially structured,
collaborative and situation-specific construction of meaning and
structure” (Imo/Lanwer 2019: 2, our translation). Besides the
(multimodal) analysis of face-to-face communication or telephone
calls, various forms of digital communication such as video
conferencing, chat communication or voice messages have also come into
research focus in recent years.

(....)

The objective of the section is a broad theoretical and methodological
exploration of the interface between Workplace Studies and Digital
Humanities, which includes all Romance language and cultures. The
following topics and aspects can be analyzed diachronically and
synchronically, in multilingual workplaces or in workplaces with
monolingual language ideologies:

 Analyzing interactional phenomena from a multimodal perspective
 Analyzing written and oral computer-mediated language-in-interaction
(short messages, chat histories, emails, communication in
collaboration software such as MS Teams)
 New resources, corpora or databases of interactional language in
everyday, professional or institutional contexts
 Consideration of „intermediary objects“ (Jeantet 1998; Vinck 1999)
and the role of material objects in complex work processes
 Multimodal analysis of digital or hybrid teaching/learning scenarios
 Analyzing the role of new technologies in vocational education and
training
 Insight into the (digitally-supported) communicative practice of
(multilingual) companies or institutions (e.g. operating
internationally or in border regions)

The submission of an abstract is possible until 31.12.2024. It should
include your name(s) and affiliation(s) as well as the title of your
contribution and it can contain a maximum of 4000 characters,
including spaces and bibliography.
