We are pleased to announce the publication of a new typological resource, the Areal Typology of Languages of the Americas (ATLAs) database. The aim of ATLAs is to capture areally relevant typological variation across North and South America, together with a baseline sample from the rest of the world. Our sample includes 325 languages worldwide, of which 220 are in the Americas. For each typological domain present in the database, we have attempted to encode as fine-grained features as possible,

The DFG-funded Research Training Group ‘Dimensions of Constructional Space’ at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg is seeking to appoint 1 doctoral researcher for project 12: ‘Frequency effects in morphology: qualitative and quantitative aspects.’ The PhD researchers will be employed on a 65% basis on an TV-L13 scale (which amounts to a starting salary of about € 3000 per month before tax) for three years, starting 1 October 2025. More details about the Projects 2025 and

I am a PhD student from the Universität Koblenz, conducting a study on the developmental trajectory of emotion concepts in late German-English bilinguals. I am currently looking for participants in the following groups: - German & English native speakers (aged 20-30), who do not speak any language other than their L1 above B1-level - German-English late bilinguals (aged 20-30), who speak both German and English at C-level, but no other language above B1-level You can participate in my s

In 2005 the American Philosophical Society launched the Lewis and Clark Fund for Exploration and Field Research. The brainchild of APS President Baruch Blumberg, the fund was created to support exploratory field studies for the collection of specimens and data and to provide the imaginative stimulus that accompanies direct observation. Since its inception, the program has been doggedly interdisciplinary and has supported over 900 projects on all seven continents in a wide-range of fields, such a

Call for Papers: 5th Bilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone World Conference https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/submit/BHL/ We are pleased to announce the 5th edition of the Bilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone World Conference (BHL), which will be held at the University of Reading from January 12 to 14, 2026. This biennial international event — previously hosted by Leiden University (2015, 2019), Florida State University (2017), and Universidad de las Américas Puebla (2024) — bri

Preamble: Many contemporary studies treat the lexicon as an autonomous entity not affected by other components of a given language (Jeżek 2016, Pustejovsky and Batiukova 2024, Talmy 2007, 2023). The aim of the workshop is to examine how functions encoded in the grammatical systems, and the forms used to encode them (i.e. syntax), interact with the lexicon. The following are some of the manifestations of the grammatical system on the lexicon that will be examined at the workshop: - One man

LeWiDi: Shared task on Learning With Disagreement - Call for participation We'd like to invite researchers in disagreement and variation to participate in the third edition of the LeWidi shared tasks held in conjunction with the NLPerspectives workshop at the EMNLP conference in Suzhou, China. The LeWiDi series is positioned within the growing body of research that questions the practice of label harmonization and the reliance on a single ground truth in AI and NLP. This year's shared ta

IWCS is a biennial conference on computational semantics. This year'svedition is organized by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. The conference is endorsed by SIGSEM, the ACL Special Interest Group on Computational Semantics. The aim of the IWCS conference is to bring together researchers interested in any aspects of the computation, annotation, extraction, representation and learning of meaning in natural language, whether this is from a lexical or structural semantic perspective.
