Last week, Anna Furtado participated in the XXI Euralex International Congress on Lexicography and Semantics in Cavtat/Dubrovnik, Croatia, organised by the Institute for the Croatian Language (8–12 October 2024). She presented a poster project titled May There Be Light! Chellenges in identifying and describing neologisms in multilingual Laudato Sì, a Letter by Pope Francis.
The paper explored how terms from other domains, such as ecology, undergo semantic shift in Laudato Sì to portray the view of the Catholic Church’s on climate change. The conference was a great opportunity to interact with others working on terminology and lexicography, by bringing new methodologies to the study and description of general and specialised languages.
