The MapLE project has created a glossary of terms used in epistemicity: https://epistemicity.net/glossary/ We (Giosuè Balocco, Jenneke van der Wal, Seppo Kittilä) wanted to create some clarity in the terminology of evidentiality, egophoricity, mirativity, information structure and epistemic modality, including hyperlinks to compare the various terms. So if you’ve always wanted to know the 8 alternative names for ’non-egophoric’ or look up what ‘privileged access’ means, we hope this glossary

NFEAP this year is a chance to think about the many mythologies of EAP, academic writing, higher education pedagogy and the idea of a university itself. We could think about at least two dimensions of myth – first the idea of transcendence, an act or event that takes us to a reality deeper than the everyday; and against that, the story or idea that is pernicious but durable, misleading but stubborn. Sometimes we need to make myths; sometimes we need to bust myths. What are the myths in higher

A one-day conference ‘The role of semantics in syntax’, is to be held at Magdalen College, Oxford, on 20 June 2026. The aim of the conference is to explore ways in which the syntax of a sentence might be influenced by its semantics, in opposition to the traditional Chomskyan conception of the autonomy of syntax. The conference is inspired by two recent speculative developments: the revival of the architecture of the grammar proposed by the Generative Semanticists, which is seen in the ‘Meaning F
