Dear colleagues and friends of functional linguistics,

we are honoured to present the first Circular inviting you to the 45th Colloquium of the International Society for Functional Linguistics (SILF – Société Internationale de Linguistique Fonctionnelle). The next year of this significant meeting gathering linguists and philologists from all around the world takes place in the Czech Republic at Palacký University in Olomouc, Faculty of Arts, on 2–5 October 2024.

In close collaboration with the SILF office, the organizers from Palacký University have defined two main conference topics – Language and Media and Europe of Languages. Additionally, the conference participants are invited to present their papers in the thematic session called Grammaticalization and Dynamic Synchrony and in the workshop devoted to semiotics, as well as to introduce individual topics broadening horizons in various linguistic disciplines.

Further details can be found in the attached files and in other sections of this conference website.

We look forward to meeting you in Olomouc.
