The CNRS Innovation Newsletter


The Dynamique Du Langage (DDL) laboratory was highlighted in the article Innovating in Social Sciences and Humanities, from Cybersecurity to Educational Games. This article emphasizes the importance of the social sciences and humanities in various fields, such as cybersecurity and education. Among the projects presented, the board game [kosmopoliːt], developed with Jeux Opla editions, exemplifies how gastronomy and linguistic diversity come together.

A year with CNRS


Published in September 2024, CNRS offers us a retrospective of the year 2023 in its annual report to "fully grasp the research dynamics present in our territory". On this occasion, the Dynamique Du Langage Laboratory is highlighted in the Rhône Auvergne regional supplement, thanks to the bronze medal awarded to Katarzyna Pisanski (page 11), the ERC Consolidator Grant funding for the LANGUAGE REDUX project led by Matthias Urban (page 13), and the work of Frédérique Gayraud on language and post-traumatic stress (page 20).

DAVID AND LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY


Dissemination Article | "Why should we be concerned about the imminent loss of global linguistic diversity?"

On June 7, 2024, an article titled "Per què ens hauria de preocupar la pèrdua imminent de la diversitat lingüística mundial?" was published in the Catalan online periodical VilaWeb. The article was written by David Ginebra.

In this article, David emphasizes the importance of preserving indigenous languages, which are at risk of disappearing by 50% to 90% by 2032. The loss of these languages would not only result in the disappearance of scientific, historical, and medical knowledge, but also have social impacts, such as the loss of identity, intergenerational trauma, and health issues. By preserving these languages, we also contribute to the cognitive and physical well-being of linguistic communities, while valuing their culture and identity.
