CISMA 2025 Theme: Unveiling the Power of Technology and Corpora in Discourse, Translation and Interpreting

CISMA 2025 focuses on the transformative impact of corpora, big data, and technology in advancing discourse studies, language sciences, T & I and interdisciplinary research. The conference underscores the critical role of corpus linguistics, natural language processing (NLP), and big data analytics in addressing contemporary challenges and uncovering opportunities in the humanities and social sciences. The CISMA emphasizes the integration of computational methods, critical discourse analysis, and corpus-based approaches to enhance our understanding of language use, discourse practices, and societal dynamics. By bridging traditional methodologies with cutting-edge technologies, CISMA 2025 aims to redefine research paradigms and foster innovations across academic and professional domains.

We are delighted to announce that selected papers from the conference will be published in the peer-reviewed journal “Corpus-Based Studies Across Humanities” by De Gruyter. This prestigious journal champions the advancement of research at the intersection of corpora, language sciences, and the humanities.
