Call for Papers: The Leibniz-Centre for General Linguistics (ZAS) in Berlin is pleased to announce a workshop to be held June 19th-20th, 2025, generously supported in part by the van Riemsdijk Foundation (VRF), with the title Clausal Complementation Across Categories.​ Invited Speakers: Nikos Angelopoulos (CNRS) Johanna Benz (UPenn) Kajsa Djärv (Edinburgh) Kalle Müller (CNRS) This workshop focuses on the relationship between clause-embedding attitude predicates and the clauses with

Call for Papers: According to Cangemi and Bauman (2020), “few concepts in phonetics and phonology research are as widely used and as vaguely defined as is the notion of prominence”. The authors argue, however, that the integration of phonetics and phonology in the study of linguistic prominence is crucial. Indeed, the two disciplines are often used to put certain elements forward (being thus more prominent) in speech. Similar processes on other linguistic levels can be witnessed, as for insta

PRELIMINARIES I need to begin my review by saying something about how I am reviewing this handbook. Most handbooks have several characteristics that set them apart from other books, including other books that are reviewed here at Linguist List: 1) Handbooks tend to be quite large. The Oxford Handbook of Word Classes reviewed here weighs in at 45 chapters and more than a thousand pages. This precludes my giving the usual chapter-by-chapter summary, since that would take more space than t

SUMMARY Section 1: Introduction The author situates her discussion on VMC (video-mediated communication) in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, highlighting how this event accelerated the adoption of technology and revealed the challenges and opportunities it presents. She also emphasizes the need for further research to fully understand the interactional dynamics specific to VMC. Indeed, she points out that while pedagogical and technical aspects have been extensively documented by rese

SUMMARY The book called ‘Self- and Other-Reference in Social Contexts’ is a collection of high-quality studies within the Pragmatics & Beyond New Series that encompasses the richness of Pragmatics as an interdisciplinary field, along with Discourse Analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis. The book is a collection of eight chapters, where each chapter covers a full study that is connected to self- and other-reference. Chapter 1. ‘Self- and Other-Reference in Social Contexts: From global to

Phonetics - the study and classification of speech sounds - is a major sub-discipline of linguistics. Bringing together a team of internationally renowned phoneticians, this handbook provides comprehensive coverage of the most recent, cutting-edge work in the field, and focuses on the most widely-debated contemporary issues. Chapters are divided into five thematic areas: segmental production, prosodic production, measuring speech, audition and perception, and applications of phonetics. Each chap

Sentence comprehension - the way we process and understand spoken and written language - is a central and important area of research within psycholinguistics. This book explores the contribution of computational linguistics to the field, showing how computational models of sentence processing can help scientists in their investigation of human cognitive processes. It presents the leading computational model of retrieval processes in sentence processing, the Lewis and Vasishth cue-based retrieval

Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767–1835), an early pioneer in the philosophy of language, linguistic and educational theory, was not only one of the first European linguists to identify human language as a rule-governed system –the foundational premise of Noam Chomsky's generative theory – or to reflect on cognition in studying language; he was also a major scholar of Indigenous American languages. However, with his famous naturalist brother Alexander 'stealing the show,' Humboldt's contributions to lingu

Although it feels like we live in a time of seeming hopelessness, this pioneering book illustrates what language can teach us about the practice, logic, and feasibility of hope in the twenty-first century. Silva and Lee highlight how people living in Brazilian urban peripheries, who have grown accustomed to unrelenting prejudice and violence on an everyday basis, use language to survive and imagine futures that are worth aspiring to. In so doing, this book foregrounds how language becomes a matte

This Element offers a comprehensive account of the unprecedented spread of English as a global language by taking historical, sociolinguistic, and pedagogical perspectives. To realize this mission, it opens with an accessible discussion of the historical trajectory of the English language with qualitative and quantitative connections to its contemporary diversity in terms of forms, roles, functions, uses, users, and contexts of English as a global and multilingual franca. Built upon this synchro

The Center for Advanced Language Proficiency Education and Research (CALPER) at Penn State University is pleased to host a free webinar series taking place each spring, titled “Advances in World Language Pedagogy-The CALPER Professional Development Webinars”. These webinars will be led by specialists with expertise in a variety of pedagogical approaches that can be used to support and enhance the teaching and learning of world languages, including less commonly taught languages. The schedule
