*LANGUAGE, LITERATURE, AND INDUSTRY*

Linking language and literature – or any other branch of arts and 
humanities – with industry is certainly not as incongruous as it may at 
first glance appear. It was, after all, due to both industrious work and 
industrial endeavours of people such as Johannes Gutenberg and William 
Caxton that books were given a printed form and found a wider 
readership. It was also the Industrial Revolution that made languages 
lexically richer, introducing new words to represent the new industrial 
reality. While the meaning of the term ‘industry’ has somewhat changed 
over time and expanded to encompass not only diligence or manufacture 
but also different branches of business and economy, its connection with 
languages and literatures remains firm, if not even more fully 
developed. Today we speak of language industry, which among other fields 
of study includes translation and communication, or entertainment 
industry, which is, like all good literature, based on good stories. 
Machine participation in the provision of language services is a reality 
of the modern world, and the globalisation process has created the need 
for the standardisation and certification of these services. With all 
this in mind, our aim for this conference is to gather researchers who 
will examine various aspects of the relationship between language, 
literature, and industry as fields of human effort and achievement. We 
invite contributions inspired by the following topics and areas of research:

·Industrial revolutions and language

·Industrial revolutions and literature

·Cultural and creative industries

·Literature and the poetics of work

·Translation, literacy, and book industry

·Automation in language services

·Industry-specific languages

·Knowledge production and management

·Standardisation and certification of language services

·Contemporary sociology and labour market

·Aspects of media and entertainment industries

·Other
