Slavic languages excel in marking deictic categories (of space, time and person) grammatically and in discourse strategies that are highly sensitive to communicative settings. In this sense, Slavic languages offer prime examples of the chosen topic of the International Congress of Linguists 2024.

Contributions are invited about Slavic languages and their varieties in synchrony and diachrony with a particular (but not exclusive) focus on the following topics:
Grammar and lexicon:
a) Verbal aspect,
b) Mood and modality,
c) Quantification and numeral systems,
Pragmatics:
d) Interface of grammatical and lexical semantics with pragmatic properties
e) Language ideology and language choice,
Discourse:
f) Othering in public mass media,
g) Language critique as social critique.

This section is open to different methods of research – empirical, theoretical, cognitive/psycholinguistic, comparative/typological, digital, and to different linguistic models.
