With the support of a Dissemination Conference Grant, Giovanni Tallarico delivered a talk titled “La variation au cœur des recherches sur l’innovation lexicale: le réseau ENEOLI” at the 27e colloque annuel de l’AFLS: Laissez les bon(s) temps rouler! Français et créoles entre héritage(s) et avenir(s), which took place at the Tulane University, New Orleans.

The presentation showcased the Action’s structure, achievements and objectives to date, thus enhancing the Action’s visibility at the international level.

The attendees, consisting of researchers from Europe, the United States, and Canada, responded positively to the presentation. They were particularly impressed by the Action’s broad scope, the diverse research efforts within the working groups (WGs), and the multilingual strategies, especially those implemented in WG1. The presentation successfully raised awareness about the significance of lexical innovation within the French-speaking research community, potentially attracting new members from both COST Member countries and International Partner Countries.

Additionally, a reception was held as a conference side-event at the French General Consulate in New Orleans. This gathering provided an opportunity to further promote the Action’s goals at an institutional level, fostering connections and enhancing visibility within the diplomatic community.
