Meeting Description:

International symposium "Ambiguity / ambivalence in linguistics (from a syntactic, semantic or enunciative point of view)", to be held at the Université de Toulon, France, on 27th and 28th November 2025.

With the support of the Babel laboratory (EA 2649) at the Université de Toulon and the ALAES (Association des Linguistes Anglicistes de l’Enseignement Supérieur, the ‘French society for the linguistics of English’)

Without excluding essentially theoretical approaches, this symposium intends to submit the concepts of ambivalence and ambiguity to the test of corpora, in order to evaluate their scope and limits in context. Consequently, the aim will be to apprehend cases of interpretative duality within a variety of oral and written corpora. These may be of various kinds (advertising, literature, political discourse, the press, computer-mediated communication, lexicographic data, etc.) This will enable a wide-ranging, cross-disciplinary exploration of these phenomena. Priority will be given to French, English and Spanish, but other languages and language families may also be considered.
