Dear all,
The end of 2024 has been very active at EURALEX, for example you can now find
EURALEX 2024 proceedings on the website (they have already been indexed by
SCOPUS), and the videorecordings from the 2024 Congress (presentations and
pre-conference workshops) have been made available at the Videolectures website
(https://videolectures.net/events/euralex2024_cavtat).
We are now pleased to announce the launch of our new webinar series.
EURALEX Talks is a series of online webinars featuring invited experts in the
field of lexicography. These sessions are free and open to everyone. They
explore a wide variety of topics related to language and lexicography. Each
talk lasts approximately 40 minutes, followed by questions and discussion. Join
us on Tuesday 28 January 2025 at 16.00 (CET) for our first talk, which will be
given by Pamela Faber. Zoom link: https://uni-lj-si.zoom.us/j/8569694820.
The Language of Love Fraud: Frames of Deception
The language of love fraud is a unique example of an online linguistic
deception. Using a fabricated identity, the fraudster creates the illusion of a
romantic relationship between himself and the victim, solely through language.
This deception is often successful because of the fraudster’s lexical choices
(soulmate, cherish, adore, sacred vow, etc.) which override his flawed syntax
and activate a frame of romantic love in her mind.
Biodata
Pamela Faber is Professor Emeritus in Translation and Interpreting at the
University of Granada (Spain). She is the founder of the LexiCon research
group, with whom she has carried out various nationally-funded research
projects on Frame-Based Terminology, the approach to terminology that she
created and developed. One of the results of these projects is EcoLexicon
(ecolexicon.ugr.es), a terminological knowledge base on environmental science.
She has more than 150 articles, book chapters, and books, which have
inspired researchers throughout the world to explore specialized knowledge from
a frame-based perspective.
Looking forward to seeing you online. Please forward the announcement to other
mailing lists and colleagues who might be interested.
Best wishes
Iztok Kosem
EURALEX President
