We are happy to announce the international conference Formulaic
Language and Construction Grammar: Applications in Translation,
Lexicography, and Foreign Language Teaching. Organized in the
framework of the research project COST-Action 22115 A Multilingual
Repository of Phraseme Constructions in Central and Eastern European
Languages (PhraConRep), this conference aims to create a space for
dialogue and scientific exchange on formulaic language in general, and
in particular on “phraseme constructions” or “constructional idioms”
in European languages. We welcome submissions from researchers
exploring these structures from both intra- and interlingual
perspectives.
Papers presented at the conference are planned to be published in an
open-access format.
Conference Topics:
Abstracts are invited for talks, panels, and posters on any topic
relevant to formulaic language and Construction Grammar (with a strong
encouragement toward a connection to PhraCons), including but not
limited to:
 - PhraCons in historical and typological linguistics
 - Empirical and cognitive approaches to PhraCons
 - The pragmatics and meaning potential of PhraCons
 -  PhraCons in human and AI translation
 - The role of PhraCons in foreign language teaching, learning,
assessment, and materials
 - Building the multilingual repository of PhraCons
 - PhraCons in digital tools, AI, databases, and language technology
 - PhraCons in social media, digital, and multimodal communication
 - PhraCons in literature, music, and popular culture
