Stavros Assimakopoulos is an Associate Professor of Sociolinguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, School of English), while also serving as an Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Malta (Institute of Linguistics and Language Technology). Since earning his PhD at the University of Edinburgh, his research trajectory has grown to be characterised by an interdisciplinary - and digitally-informed - perspective that connects the social study of language and theoretical pragmatics, all the while leveraging the framework of critical discourse studies to examine the interrelation between individual meaning-making and collective ideologies. His scholarship explores a wide thematic spectrum, ranging from the discursive mechanics of (online) hate speech, racism, and LGBTphobia to theoretical inquiries into relevance theory and the semantics-pragmatics interface. This work has featured in major international outlets, most recently culminating in the monograph Speech Act Theory: Between Narrow and Broad Pragmatics (Cambridge University Press, 2025). His commitment to the field additionally extends to editorial stewardship, as co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Pragmatics and co-editor of the CADAAD Journal. Finally, he has spearheaded and participated in several high-impact national and EU-funded research projects.
