Putu Pramania Adnyana, Assistant Professor from Indonesia, specializes in metaphor studies, Korean linguistics, and critical metaphor analysis. Her research examines how metaphor operates as both a cognitive and discursive tool in shaping social values and media representations, particularly in South Korean contexts. Her doctoral work explored metaphors of the ideal body in Korean newspapers, highlighting the relationship between language, ideology, and power.
She is also developing a corpus-based approach to studying tourism and cultural discourse, with emerging interests in how language constructs images of identity, heritage, and place. Through integrating conceptual metaphor theory, critical analysis, and corpus linguistics, Putu contributes to interdisciplinary discussions on language, culture, and meaning.

Andrea, a lecturer in linguistics specializing in Dutch semantics, pragmatics, and sociolinguistics, investigates how meaning is constructed and how language use is constantly influenced by social and cultural contexts. Her specific interest in sociolinguistics arises from her belief that all aspects of our environment—from daily interactions to public and digital communication—represent significant material for analysis and can serve as a corpus.
The influence of culture on language has various consequences, including shifts in meaning, language variation, and changing expressions of identity and power relations. She wants to make these dynamics accessible not only within academic education but also in broader social contexts to anyone with an interest in language and society.
