    Plenary session of the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Ad orbem per linguas. To the World through Languages” 14 May 2026

      

     

    On 14 May 2026, on the occasion of celebrating the Day of Science in Ukraine, the scientific platform “Ad orbem per linguas. To the World through Languages” commenced its work at Kyiv National Linguistic University as a venue for presenting innovations and technology transfer into various spheres of educational and professional activity.

    The moderator of the event, Associate Professor Hanna ZINCHENKO, noted that the principal activities of this platform include the International Scientific and Practical Conference, round tables, panel discussions, and sectional meetings.

    The plenary session of the International Scientific and Practical Conference, dedicated this year to commemorating the memory of the outstanding Ukrainian linguist Heorhii Heorhiiovych Pocheptsov on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth, was opened by Acting Rector, Professor Sergii SOROKIN.

    In his welcoming address, Professor Sergii SOROKIN expressed his gratitude to the organisers, guests, and participants of the conference, whose representation continues to grow every year, attesting to the popularity of the platform “Ad orbem per linguas. To the World through Languages” both among higher education institutions and other organisations in Ukraine and abroad, including the United States of America, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Ireland, the Republic of Lithuania, and others.

    Roman VASKO, Advisor to the Rector of KNLU, Doctor of Philological Sciences, Professor, shared his recollections of the life and scholarly-academic path of Heorhii Pocheptsov and emphasised that Professor H.H. Pocheptsov was and remains in our memory as the founder of KNLU’s scholarly schools.

    The foreign participants of the conference delivered engaging presentations. Professor Thom GENCARELLI (Manhattan University) proposed for discussion the topical issue “Evolution, Revolution, and Re/evolution: A Media Ecological Analysis of Our 21st Century Media Environment,” which aroused considerable interest among all participants and stimulated discussion concerning the transformation of the contemporary media environment and the evolution of the means of human communication. The scholar analysed the key stages in the development of communication technologies, from oral speech and writing to digital media, and outlined the impact of new information technologies on contemporary society and human thinking.

    Sociologist and Senior Researcher at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder), Susann WORSCHECH, focused on the analytics and statistics of issues addressed in the presentation “Illuminating the Blind Spot? The Thorny Path to Establishing Ukrainian Studies: The Case of Germany 1991–2025.” In particular, attention was paid to the difficulties of institutionalising this field and the growing interest in Ukrainian studies within the European academic space.

    Professor Daniel RELLSTAB (University of Education Schwäbisch Gmünd) addressed the issue of interaction between humans and artificial intelligence in his presentation “Speech Acts, Artificial Intelligence, and the Semiotics of Charles S. Peirce.” Drawing on the semiotic theory of Charles Peirce, the scholar analysed the nature of speech acts and emphasised the fundamental differences between human communication and AI-generated text production. Particular attention was devoted to issues of critical thinking, interpretation of meaning, and the limits of the use of LLM technologies in the contemporary educational and information environment.

    The plenary session concluded with a ceremonial awarding of KNLU academic and teaching staff, students, postgraduate students, and doctoral candidates for their significant scholarly achievements during the 2025–2026 academic year.

    Vice-Rector for Research, Professor Alla KOROLYOVA, expresses her gratitude to the Organising Committee, guests, speakers, and participants of the scientific platform “Ad orbem per linguas. To the World through Languages” for their cooperation and creative dialogue.
