Dear Colleagues,

Building on the success of the previous seven conferences, the Institute of Linguistics at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Poland, is organising the 8th meeting of Linguistics Beyond and Within – International Linguistics Conference in Lublin. The conference, to be held ONLINE on 14–15 October 2021, will be hosted by the Department of Applied Linguistics, the Department of Theoretical Linguistics, the Department of Contrastive English-Polish Studies and the Department of Celtic Studies. This year the talks will be guided by the following leitmotif:

HIERARCHIES, BOUNDARIES AND CONTINUA IN LINGUISTICS

As previously, we would like to invite scholars with innovative approaches to linguistics viewed from a range of intra- and interdisciplinary perspectives. We wish to encourage all linguists representing various theoretical models and practical applications to present their contributions during online sessions in the following research areas:

- theoretical linguistics: phonetics & phonology, morphology, semantics, syntax, corpus studies;
- applied linguistics: language teaching & language acquisition, pragmatics, discourse analysis, translation studies, socio- and psycholinguistics.

Each paper presentation in an online session will be scheduled for a 20-minute talk followed by a 10-minute discussion. The language of the conference is English.
