Dear colleague,
I hope this message finds you well. We would like to invite you to join us on December 2, 2024, for an extraordinary hybrid event: the International Conference in Linguistics, Translation Studies, and Artificial Intelligence – A Synergy Applied to BE + V-ing.
This conference will explore everyday utterances like “Let’s give Chris a big hand! He goes away 8,000 pounds better off! / $8,000 richer!” and “She’s buying her clothes from Harrod’s.” These real-life examples challenge the traditional interpretation of the simple and BE + V-ing forms as representing habits or actions in progress. Instead, as brilliantly demonstrated by Henri Adamczewski in the 1970s , meta-operational linguistics offers a powerful alternative with rules that have no exceptions, providing a fresh perspective on the English verb system.
With this in mind, our conference subtitle declares, "THE PROGRESSIVE FORM IS DEAD", and invites us all to ask, "WHAT DOES OPERATOR BE + V-ING REALLY DENOTE?" Our eight invited speakers will guide us through "LINGUISTIC ANALYSES, MULTILINGUAL APPROACHES & AI" to delve deeper into these questions.
Please find attached the event program, a brochure introducing the speakers and their topics, and the event poster. Feel free to share this message and the attached documents with colleagues and contacts who may benefit from attending.
The event is free for both in-person attendees at the Château de Pau (where complimentary coffee and croissants await!) and online participants via this link or by scanning the QR code below.
Thank you for contributing to making this conference an enriching success for all!

Il a fallu adapter le site Crelingua.fr qui était décrit dans une très ancienne version de Joomla devenue incompatible avec l'environnement technique de notre hébergeur pour le faire migrer vers la toute dernière version. Il s'agit d'une migration majeure qui a imposé quelques adaptations.
Le site n'est pas encore capable d'envoyer et de recevoir des mails et nous avons momentanément masqué les menus destinés à poser des questions au président de l'association Jean-Pierre Gabilan ou au webmestre Henri Sirot
N'hésitez pas à signaler tout dysfonctionnement ou toute anomalie au Webmestre qui est ouvert à toutes les suggestions. Ecrivez lui à l'adresse :
