Calls: 53rd Poznań Linguistic Meeting Thematic Session: Rethinking the semantics of classifiers

The LINGUIST List - Tue, 03/25/2025 - 22:05
2nd Call for Papers: Most studies on classifiers focus on how to use formal criteria to distinguish between different morphosyntactic subtypes based on the contexts in which classifiers appear. Commonly distinguished types include numeral classifiers, as well as noun classifiers, possessive classifiers, verbal classifiers, deictic classifiers and locative classifiers (Aikhenvald 2000). In contrast, relatively little attention has been devoted to the nature of semantic categorization. Examples

Books: Towards a label-less grammar: Wall (2025)

The LINGUIST List - Tue, 03/25/2025 - 21:05
In generative syntactic theory, four types of (sub)labels have formed a cornerstone of current approaches: lexical category labels, functional category labels, X-bar-theoretic sublabels and uninterpretable features. This is despite the fact that all these labels are arguably at odds with the modern generative enterprise, the Minimalist Program. Further, recent approaches which aim to reduce these (sub)labels usually only focus on one of them. In contrast, the current dissertation proposes a n

Books: The pre‑Roman elements of the Sardinian lexicon: Swanenvleugel (2025)

The LINGUIST List - Tue, 03/25/2025 - 21:05
The Sardinian language descends from Latin, introduced to Sardinia following the Roman conquest in 238 BCE. Yet, parts of the Sardinian vocabulary cannot be explained from a Latin perspective and may instead reflect remnants of extinct languages once native to the island. This dissertation aims to uncover Sardinia’s linguistic prehistory by systematically examining these non-inherited words. Through phonological and morphological analysis, it reconstructs several properties of the pre-Roman Sard

Books: Multimodal mockery in face-to-face interaction: de Vries (2025)

The LINGUIST List - Tue, 03/25/2025 - 20:05
This dissertation investigates the ubiquitous phenomenon of mockery as a case study of complex stancetaking. The starting point is the observation that stancetaking, the expression of our attitudes toward the world around us, is inherently multimodal. What is missing, however, is a multimodal and interactional analysis of more complex forms of stancetaking. Mockery presents an intriguing case to explore this, as it involves a layered constellation in which a stance on a serious layer is heighten

The LINGUIST List - Tue, 03/25/2025 - 20:05
Much of the research on minority and understudied languages focuses on language policy and politics (maintenance, endangerment, and revitalization). In this Specil Issue, a spotlight has been placed on the special theoretical import of these languages, and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the language faculty and the linguistic landscape. In recent decades, and especially recently, researchers are appreciating just how many understudied languages exist, this includes many en

Review: Historical Linguistics, Semantics, Text/Corpus Linguistics: Sampson (2025)

The LINGUIST List - Mon, 03/24/2025 - 20:05
SUMMARY Stephen Huebscher seeks to shed new light on a central problem in the linguistic description of Biblical Hebrew through statistical examination of verb usage in one Old Testament book. The main contrast in the Hebrew inflection system is between two ways of conjugating verbs for person and number: the Suffix and the Prefix conjugations. The contrast clearly relates in some way to TAM (tense, aspect, and modality) issues; it is complicated by the fact that when a verb is preceded by
