The Polish Academy of Sciences Scientific Centre in Paris and the
Institute of Linguistics of the University of Silesia in Katowice
cordially invite you to the academic conference entitled:
In Collaboration on Cooperation: Research in Linguistics Within
French-polish Teams
9–10 July 2026
Scientific Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences
74 Rue Lauriston, 75116 Paris, France
Contemporary scientific research increasingly relies on international
collaboration. This is not merely a passing trend but a response to
the complex, transnational challenges facing research today.
International cooperation enhances the quality of research, promotes
the circulation of methods, and enables the development of projects of
a scale and impact difficult to achieve at the national level.
Linguistics is no exception. As a discipline focused on the study of
language, it naturally benefits from cross-border collaboration:
research on a given language often transcends national boundaries and
is enriched by contributions from foreign research centres.
Dynamic and multifaceted, French-Polish cooperation is expressed in
several subfields of linguistics, including contrastive studies,
lexicography and lexicology, the didactics of French as a foreign
language, language acquisition, and bilingualism. This collaboration
concerns not only collective publications and projects funded through
national and international grants, but also teaching, notably through
Erasmus+ mobility programmes and joint doctoral training under
cotutelle arrangements.
The proposed conference will constitute the first event entirely
devoted to French-Polish scientific cooperation in linguistics. It
will provide an opportunity to present a wide range of collaborative
projects, showcase results from mixed research teams, exchange views
on current issues and trends, strengthen existing ties, and foster the
emergence of new forms of collaboration. The proposed thematic areas
are open-ended and do not exhaust the research issues addressed:
1. Scientific collaboration as a research subject
The first area concerns scientific collaboration, understood as an
autonomous research subject. It encompasses the study of the forms,
modes, and dynamics of cooperation in linguistics, particularly within
French-Polish research teams. Within this axis, the issues of
collaborative publishing practices and interdisciplinarity, which can
characterise team-based research projects, can be addressed.
2. International collaboration: institutional mechanisms, funding,
mobility, research institutions, and scientific networks
The second topic is part of an institutional and structural reflection
on international collaboration in linguistics. Within this area, it is
proposed to analyse the institutional frameworks of scientific
cooperation, the mechanisms of research funding and support (mobility,
scholarships, joint supervision of doctoral theses, etc.), as well as
policies for the internationalisation of research and higher
education. Particular attention may be paid to the role of
universities, research institutes, and scientific networks, as well as
to support mechanisms for early-career researchers involved in
international projects.
3. Linguistics in the face of contemporary challenges
The third topic proposes a reflection on the role of linguistics in
relation to contemporary challenges, in the context of collaborative
practices. It may address issues related to digital humanities and
collaborative tools, the circulation of data, methods, and knowledge,
and the societal impact of research in linguistics. Particular
attention is recommended to phenomena related to the use of artificial
intelligence and to ethical issues in collaborative research, such as
ghostwriting. Contributions addressing the use of inclusive language
in research and scholarly production, as well as inclusivity in
research more broadly, are also welcome.
4. Dissemination and valorisation of the results of research
The fourth topic adopts both a practical and an empirical perspective.
It is devoted to the presentation of research conducted within a
Franco-Polish collaborative framework. It particularly invites
international teams to present ongoing or completed projects, as well
as results stemming from collective research. A reflective dimension
is also encouraged: special attention may be given to dissemination
practices, open access and research valorisation, publication
strategies, and language and journal choices for scientific output.
The issue of researcher visibility may also be addressed.
5. French and Polish in a contrastive perspective and within the
framework of intercultural communication
This fifth thematic area is devoted to contrastive research on French
and Polish. It includes papers from various subdisciplines of
linguistics, such as lexicology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics,
discourse analysis, and applied linguistics, focusing on the
description and analysis of similarities and differences between the
two languages. This area also welcomes contributions adopting a
cultural and intercultural perspective, particularly with regard to
discourse, the conceptualization of meaning, communicative norms, and
the socio-cultural determinants shaping the functioning of French and
Polish. Submitted papers may result from collaborative or individual
research, with a view to their possible continuation within future
joint research projects.
6. French and Polish in a translation studies and didactic perspective
This sixth thematic area focuses on research in translation studies
and foreign language didactics, with particular emphasis on the
French–Polish and Polish–French language pair. It addresses linguistic
analyses of the translation process, as well as translation techniques
in written, audiovisual, and oral translation. This area also includes
issues related to the teaching of French and Polish as foreign
languages, as well as the use of digital tools and new technologies in
language education. It is open to both collaborative research papers
and individual studies, which may serve as a starting point for
further joint research initiatives.
