This volume is a collection of 21 academic papers selected from the ninth biennial Teaching and Learning Corpora conference that was held at Masaryk University in the summer of 2010. The papers were selected through a double blind reviewing process by the academic committee of the conference. The book deals with a variety of uses of language corpora in foreign or second language teaching and learning, and is divided into four parts. Sections 1 and 2 look at corpora as input, first exploring general issues of how they can inform language teaching, and second describing how this can be put into practice and evaluating concrete uses of corpora with learners. Sections 3 and 4 look at learner corpora as output: this includes comparison with native-speaker corpora to identify ‘errors’ or areas of difficulty, but also shows what learners can and do know at different levels of proficiency, and what this tells us about the learning process.

"The collective monograph is focused on the investigation of selected physiological and pathological mechanisms of voice, language and speech in the context of logopedic (speech language therapy), special edcuational and neurodevelopmental, psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic research. These are twelve selected areas of specifics and deviations of communication, including respiration, phonation and resonance, articulation, intelligibility and understanding of speech, phatic functions, lexia and pragmatics of communication, both in the context of their development and acquired and so-called symptomatic (secondary) speech disorders. Individual sub-areas were examined with a primary emphasis on speech therapy and special pedagogical diagnostics and therapy using a mixed methodological research design, using special instrumental, test, registration and specific therapeutic methods, some of which will be adapted or newly created during the project. The publication has a transdisciplinary intersectoral character – it covers both the educational and clinical and counselling environment, uses newly adapted experimental and diagnostic methods and therapeutic materials and extends the current state of knowledge in the field of determinants of development and communication disorders in its individually and situationally variable form. The presented research responds to the long-term pandemic situation, and thus to changes in the assessment of changes and deviations in communication in the context of prevention and impacts of COVID-19, including innovated research methods and its enrichment with a combination of face-to-face field and distance electronic formats."

The latest volume of OLINCO proceedings is a selected set of sixteen papers that grew from presentations at OLINCO 2023 - the international Olomouc Linguistics Colloquium held at Palacký University in June 2021. The papers collected here are unified by the topic of the colloquium: Language Use and Linguistic Structure, in that they all, in one way or the other, address the central questions of the study of human language. They all use standard scientific methodology and theory and solidly researched empirical evidence in favor of formalized structural representations of the language system.
