The 2025 PLIN Linguistic Day will take place on 18 April 2025 and will
be devoted to “Genre-based approaches to academic and specialized
languages: from analysis to pedagogy”. This day aims to provide an
overview of various recent approaches based on the concept of genre
(also addressed from the perspective of "register studies" in the
English linguistic tradition) and to offer researchers, academics and
(PhD) students an excellent opportunity to share and discuss
recent/cutting-edge genre-related research.
The PLIN Linguistic Day is organized around four keynote lectures and
poster presentations.
