Keynote lecture title: Some reflections on the link between psycho-/neurolinguistic methodologies and linguistic structures
Abstract Keynote M.Carmen Parafita Couto
M. Carmen Parafita Couto (Leiden University Center for Linguistics, Heritage Linguistics Lab, Leiden institute for Brain and Cognition) studies the impact of multilingualism and language contact on language structure. Her main line of research focuses on uncovering the linguistic patterns and strategies used by multilinguals as they switch seamlessly between their languages (code-switching), combining methodological tools ranging from corpus data to behavioural methods, and more recently also electrophysiological measures.

Dr. Alfonso Sánchez-Moya
Department of Government Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Harvard University, USA
Keynote lecture title: LEIDE Project: Communication, emotion and identity in L2 Spanish acquisition and learning
Abstract Alfonso Sánchez-Moya et LEIDE
Access to keynote recording:
Alfonso Sánchez-Moya is currently a RCC Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Government (FAS). Embedded in the socio-cognitive approach to the understanding of discourse, his research explores linguistic mechanisms employed to represent social groups at risk (such as female survivors of partner violence in the UK or undocumented immigrants in the US), paying special attention to the connections between language, ideology and power. His research is methodologically influenced by techniques and tools in corpus linguistics (such as sentiment analysis) and relies on mixed-method explorations of language data. He participates in the research project Stance and Subjectivity in Discourse and collaborates as member and external advisor with the research groups Discourse and communication in English: functional and cognitive approaches (DISCOM-COGFUNC) (www.ucm.es/discom-cogfunc), GENTEXT: Gender, Language and Sexual (In)Equality Research Group (https://gentext.blogs.uv.es), and Language, Emotion and Identity (https://grupoleide.com/). Professionally, Dr Sánchez-Moya has actively contributed to the improvement of Spanish Security Forces’s linguistic skills and to teacher training courses within bilingual programmes in Madrid.
