Funded by the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation, the workshops engaged over 120 undergraduate and postgraduate students from a wide range of disciplines, including Education, Cultural Studies, Engineering, and Electronics.<\/p><p>Students were introduced to foundational concepts and analytical methods from Cognitive Linguistics and Forensic Linguistics through a blend of lectures, interactive discussions, and applied tasks. A key feature of the project was its emphasis on interdisciplinary application, encouraging students to explore how linguistic analysis could inform their own academic fields. This student-centred, practice-based approach not only fostered meaningful engagement across disciplines but also highlighted the broader relevance of linguistic analysis in diverse educational and professional contexts.<\/p><h3>Full project title<\/h3><p>Contemporary Approaches to Linguistics<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
