LABORATORY OF KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER AND INNOVATION IN LANGUAGE SCIENCES AND COMMUNICATION
The TiLc&Com Language and Communication Sciences Laboratory is an international space for research, innovation, production and knowledge transfer in the field of language and communication sciences.
The laboratory was set up in 2013 on the initiative of Professor Marta Tordesillas, who had already been working on all this content for years, and with the participation of various professors, researchers and doctoral students from the Departement of French Philology of the UAM's Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, as well as from other universities, bodies and associations of national and international scope. The laboratory is made up of various members of the consolidated LAEC (Linguistique Argumentative et Énonciative et Culture Française, HUM F-070) research group of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, recognised and emerging in 2009 and consolidated in 2018, a group with which the laboratory shares and develops numerous research topics and innovation and knowledge transfer actions.
After decades of work in language sciences and general argumentative and enunciative linguistics (Marta Tordesillas) and years of study and research in argumentative and enunciative semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis and emotional linguistics (Marta Tordesillas, Lorenza Berlanga, Aránzazu Gil Casadomet), corpus linguistics, cognitive linguistics, native and foreign language acquisition, bilingualism (Gema Sanz), literature and communication studies (Pilar Suárez and Marta Tordesillas); corpus linguistics, cognitive linguistics, native and foreign language acquisition, bilingualism (Gema Sanz), literature and communication studies (Pilar Suárez and Marta Tordesillas), as well as other research in computer science and corpus linguistics (Gema Sanz, Aranzazu Gil Casadomet, Marta Tordesillas), various research projects, doctoral theses and scientific works have been carried out, which have broadened and renewed the perspective of the description of language, language and communication. In view of the success of the results, various members of the LAEC have joined forces to develop the TiLc-Com laboratory, with a growing interest in knowledge transfer in language and communication sciences, and to create a scientific structure to bring together, make visible and disseminate their research and methodologies, and to promote a space for scientific exchange.
