Sociolinguistics conference, June 3 and 4
Seminar -
International conference in Human Capital, Languages, New Literacies: Theories, Policies, and Impacts at the URV, with participation by members of our department.
REAL (Research group "Economics, policy analysis, and language") in cooperation with Ulster University, Universitat de Barcelona, and Universitat Rovira i Virgili organizes an interdisciplinary symposium on 2-4 June 2024 at Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain.
The symposium aims to discuss the relationship between languages and human capital in the widest possible sense, while paying attention also to the new forms of literacies that the digital revolution has brought about. Contributions to the symposium can cover theoretical and empirical research on the topic, or the practical implications in terms of language policy and impact. The symposium is interdisciplinary, and contributions are accepted from economics, political science, sociology, law, sociolinguistics and applied linguistics.
Nune Ayvazyan, Lidia Gallego and Anthony Pym gave talks on the impact of automation on translation skills, to an audience of internationally prestigious sociolinguists, economists and political scientists.
