Detailed description.

The aim of the activity is to promote academic exchange between professors linked to ABRALIN’s Thematic Committees. In this edition, ONLY coordinators or members of the Thematic Commissions may submit a proposal, and only one, provided that they meet the following requirements: have a doctoral degree, be affiliated with Postgraduate Programmes and be in good standing with ABRALIN, with the 2025 annual dues paid.

Each round table must have four (4) participants nominated exclusively by the thematic committees, including the facilitator. All must be affiliated with different teaching/research institutions. All members indicated in the proposal must be regularly registered for the event.

ABRALIN’s board of directors will select up to six proposals to compose the event’s final programme. Priority will be given to proposals that promote dialogue between researchers from different Thematic Committees. The proposals will be assessed by the Board of Directors based on the criteria of originality and relevance of the theme, clarity and coherence of the scope, diversity and geographical scope of the participants.

The purpose of the Thematic Symposia (TS) is to promote advanced discussions on the topics proposed; for this reason, the participation of experienced researchers is encouraged. The proposal must have two members, all of whom must hold a doctoral degree, be affiliated with different teaching/research institutions and be in good standing with ABRALIN, with the 2025 annual dues paid.

The thematic symposia will last 2.5 hours. The symposium coordinators will select the papers to be presented. The papers submitted to the thematic symposia will be assessed by the respective coordinators. Proposals can be submitted for one of the two types of thematic symposium

a) submitting abstracts. In this modality, papers for presentation at the congress
must be submitted as abstracts, containing the definition of the topic, objectives, theoretical and methodological framework, results, and conclusion. The TS can be held in person or online.

b) submitting full papers. Proposals for this type of symposium must be
submitted in advance by the coordinators as a Thematic Issue proposal to the journal Cadernos de Linguística (CadLin), at https://cadernos.abralin.org/index.php/cadernos/theme. The TS organisers will be designated as guest editors and will be responsible for conducting the editorial process, assisted by the journal’s technical team. Submissions for this modality must include the full text of the paper, and the presentation will take place in person.

The 14th INTERAB will also host Satellite Events. These events will be held in person and operate independently, with their own organising committee and programme. The Satellite Event will take place in the same venue as the congress, either across two sessions on the same day or on separate days. Events may accept proposals for presentation. Proposals for SE must be submitted via the same platform as the 14th INTERAB. Submissions to Satellite Events will be reviewed by their respective organisers. There will be up to two satellite events, and ABRALIN will only provide the physical space and basic technological equipment (projector, sound system and microphone), and will not cover any expenses for proposers or participants. Moreover, proposers must be ABRALIN members with their 2025 membership dues paid. As a counterpart, Satellite Events must acknowledge the association in all promotional materials and in any resulting publications.

Symposia are spaces dedicated to the presentation, exchange, and discussion of completed or ongoing research. Their goal is to bring together researchers whose work makes significant contributions to various thematic areas within Linguistics.

Abstracts submitted for paper presentations in the thematic symposia must consist of a single paragraph of 300 to 500 words, preceded by a title and followed by 3 to 5 keywords. The abstract should clearly present the research problem or question under investigation, objectives, theoretical framework, methodological procedures, and the resulting findings, implications, or future directions, using language appropriate to the academic genre. The work must be based on scientific research relevant to the scope of the selected symposium and may originate from individual studies or collaborative projects. For the submission of full papers to the thematic symposia—intended for publication in a Thematic Issue of Cadernos de Linguística (CadLin), participants must follow the journal’s guidelines and requirements: https://cadernos.abralin.org

This activity is open to researchers, higher education and basic education teachers, as well as master’s and doctoral students, provided they are ABRALIN members with their 2025 membership dues paid. A maximum of four co-authors will be accepted per submission.

The purpose of this type of activity is to bridge the gap between academic research and teaching practice through the presentation of teaching materials developed as part of projects, primarily from Professional Master’s degrees in Language Studies or related fields. Proposals should demonstrate the application of linguistic concepts or phenomena studied in educational contexts. Presentations may take the form of pedagogical experience reports or accounts of interventions carried out in institutional settings (such as schools, libraries, or NGOs) or within the community.

The work must be submitted in the form of an abstract of between 300 and 500 words, written in a single paragraph, preceded by a title and followed by three to five key words. The text should clearly present the problem or issue addressed, the objectives of the work, the theoretical framework, the methodological procedures adopted, the results achieved and the pedagogical implications or recommendations resulting from the proposal. It is essential that the abstract adopts the linguistic register appropriate to the academic genre and highlights the effective contribution of the research to the teaching of linguistic topics.

Researchers, higher education and basic education teachers, as well as master’s and doctoral students, can take part in this activity, as long as they are ABRALIN members and have paid their 2025 annual dues.

The aim of this modality is to promote interest in linguistics through the presentation of technological products, physical or digital, aimed at teaching or scientific dissemination of the area. Priority will be given to proposals from Professional Master’s degrees and scientific and technological innovation or undergraduate research programmes – which have generated materials aimed at teaching or mediating linguistic knowledge in different contexts. Proposals should demonstrate the applicability of linguistic concepts, and may dialogue with areas such as Education, Health, Technology and Communication, among others. Submissions will be accepted if they present products such as games, digital platforms, videos, podcasts, teaching modules, pedagogical notebooks, etc.

The abstract must have a title, be written in a single paragraph, be between 300 and 500 words long and include three to five keywords. It must also contain a clear and well-founded presentation of the concept addressed, a definition of the target audience, objectives, methodology, results and implications. Selection will be subject to the availability of space and the criteria defined by the scientific committee.

Researchers, teachers in higher education and basic education, as well as master’s and doctoral students, can take part in this activity, as long as they are ABRALIN members and have paid their 2025 annual dues.

The aim of the Poster Sessions is to disseminate, discuss and deepen the research developed by professors, researchers and especially students from the different theoretical areas represented by ABRALIN. This type of participation will welcome submissions from the event’s thematic areas. There will be two categories a) Academic Poster and b) Young Researcher Poster. To present this second type, which is aimed at high school students, the proposal must be submitted by the supervisor. In addition, in this second case, there is no need to be an ABRALIN member.

The mentoring will seek to connect people who want to pursue an academic career or rethink their career path with more experienced researchers. This activity will be aimed  at those who are looking for guidance on master’s and doctoral programmes, want to choose a research area, need support to plan a post-doctorate or want to discuss new possibilities in their academic career. To participate, those interested must submit an expanded abstract or a research project.

For submission, the proposal must be presented in the form of an expanded abstract, containing the title, name of the proposer, institutional affiliation and academic qualifications. The text should present the topic and the research problem, highlighting its theoretical, social or educational relevance, as well as the objectives of the study, the theoretical framework adopted and the methodology proposed or under development. Partial or expected results and expected contributions to the field should be included where appropriate. It is essential that the text explains the main challenges faced or the aspects of the project on which you wish to receive guidance during the mentoring, such as the delimitation of the corpus, theoretical deepening, methodological strategy or data analysis. At the end, the bibliographical references used should be included, in accordance with the rules adopted by the event.

Basic education teachers can take part in this activity, as well as undergraduate or master’s students, provided they are ABRALIN members and have paid their 2025 annual membership dues.
