Beschreibung: PhrasaLex is a workshop series that brings together experts from the fields of (computer-based) lexicography, lexicography for NLP, phraseology, cognitive linguistics, language acquisition, and language teaching. Its aim is to reflect on theoretical and methodological aspects related to the phraseological nature of language, the interdependence of lexis and grammar, and the implications of these perspectives for the design of (learner) dictionaries. Visit https://www.phrasalex.net/ for more background information on the workshop series. As part of the EUROPHRAS Conference 2027, PhrasaLex IV is particularly intended to discuss current and future perspectives on phraseology as the backbone of general-language and specialized lexicography.

Valentina Piunno is Associate Professor in Linguistics at the University of Bergamo (Italy). Her research interests include the study of the lexicon at the semantics-syntax interface, synchronic and diachronic approaches to comparative linguistics, combinatorial lexicography, corpus linguistics, and the application of computational technologies to linguistic research. Since 2024, she has been responsible for the project DiaBerg: I dialetti bergamaschi in rete, aimed at preserving, promoting, and disseminating the linguistic and cultural heritage of the Bergamasque dialects. She has also participated in national research projects, including CombiNet (2013–16), dedicated to the development of a combinatorial dictionary of Italian, and the PNRR project CHANGES – Cultural Heritage Active Innovation for Sustainable Society (2022–25). She is the author of the volume Sintagmi preposizionali con funzione aggettivale e avverbiale (LINCOM 2018) and of several publications in the field of combinatorial lexicology.

Beschreibung: Based on the conference theme (Phraseology and its Interfaces with other Disciplines), this workshop aims to explore how recent advances in the study of multimodality in communication, as well as the development of small- and large-scale multimodal corpora, can shed new light on the assumptions, analytical approaches, and scope of phraseology as a discipline. To this end, the workshop will provide opportunities for joint discussion and hands-on activities centred on the following thematic strands, integrating perspectives and tools from phraseology, multimodality (particularly, gesture analysis), cognitive linguistics, pragmatics, and corpus linguistics:

• (a) Beyond the "multi-word frame": multimodal constructions in grammar, discourse, and interaction
• (b) Constructional and phraseological approaches to multimodal communication
• (c) Big multimodal datasets for 'expanded' phraseology research
• (d) Phraseology in multimodal interactional datasets

Workshopleitung: Inés Olza (Universidad de Navarra)

Eingeladene/r Experte/-in für den einführenden Impulsvortrag (Keynote): (Information folgt)

Inés Olza is Senior Researcher in Language and Cognition at the Institute for Culture and Society (ICS) of the University of Navarra (UNav, Spain), where she leads the Multimodal Pragmatics Lab for the cognitive and pragmatic study of human multimodal communication. She is also Principal Investigator of the Knowledge Generation Project MultiDeMe to analyze the multimodal patterns for disagreement and mediation in human interaction, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and EU/FEDER Funds (PID2022-143052NB-I00), and she directs the CoCoMInt Network on conflict communication and mediation in interaction, which manages scientific collaboration among 11 research teams in 10 Spanish universities. She is a member of the Red Hen Lab, a distributed laboratory for research on multimodal communication; the Pamplona node of PRESEEA, and the Iberus Action Cluster Cognition in Action (Grupo ICON). Her research focuses on figurative language, gesture, phraseology and interactional dynamics from the perspective of Pragmatics, Cognitive Linguistics and Multimodality.

Beschreibung: When investigating formulaicity in SLA, Myles and Cordier (2017) distinguish two approaches: linguistic, learner-external approaches and psycholinguistic, learner-internal approaches. The former focus on formulaic sequences (FS) present in the input learners are exposed to (e.g., idioms, idiomatic expressions, collocations); the latter concern FS that are stored and/or processed holistically by learners. Distinguishing these related yet conceptually distinct phenomena is particularly relevant to second language (L2) learning. Although externally defined FS are largely stored and processed holistically by L1 speakers, research yields a mixed picture for L2 learners. This calls for more research on how FS are represented in the L2 – specifically, how chunking processes operate in L2 learning – rather than only on whether learners do or do not acquire externally defined FS (Myles & Cordier 2017). The identification of externally defined FS typically involves examining formulaic language in various corpora of the target language, however FS produced by learners may differ from those identified in this way. This workshop will present and discuss different theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches, e.g., a processability perspective (Lenzing 2015) and usage-based approaches (Köylü et al. 2024), to identifying formulaicity in L2 learners, from beginners to more advanced learners. Building on this, the workshop will address how formulaicity can be incorporated into L2 teaching.
