SUMMARY (xxv, 882 pp.) This paperback is the latest edition of a valuable anthology originally published in 2018; it is the most recent among several such under the same editor/author, and incorporates the insights of those collections. As the book points out, evidentiality is a topic that is fairly newly recognized in general linguistics. It probably is still not taught in any depth to most undergraduates or even grad students; an impressionistic Google Books search of recent introductory li

The research group Formal and Computational Linguistics (ComForT) and the Center for Research in Syntax, Semantics, and Phonology (CRISSP) at KU Leuven have a vacancy for a PhD-position in formal linguistics in the project "What are theme vowels?" (WAT). The WAT-project will investigate the distribution and function of theme vowels in three Indo-European families (Romance, Germanic, and Slavic).

SUMMARY Morality is an increasingly popular topic in pragmatic and discourse studies, yet there is an ongoing gap in our understanding of how morality is enacted in everyday communicative practice. “Morality in Discourse” addresses this gap. This edited collection consists of one introductory chapter, followed by 12 chapters divided thematically into four parts: moralising in interaction; morality and narrative; the politics of morality; and digitally mediated morality. The chapters inves

Dear all, We warmly invite you to the 2025 seminar series of the Consortium on Language Variation in Input Environments Around the World (LangVIEW). The fourth talk in the series is "Segmental Acoustics of Tashlhiyt Berber’s Infant-Directed Speech: How do Caregivers Modify Vowels and Consonants in a Complex Phonological System" by Abdellah Elouatiq from the Centre for Language Studies at Radboud University Nijmegen and Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics. The abstract can be foun

https://sites.ju.edu.jo/en/Childcorpus/Home.aspx Welcome to the Child Language Corpus of Jordanian Arabic (JA)—the first large-scale, systematically compiled linguistic resource dedicated to documenting the spoken language of typically developing children in Jordan. This corpus represents a foundational step in Arabic language acquisition research, offering a rich and unprecedented dataset of natural child speech across regional, age, and gender lines. Spanning a total of approximately 50

Editorial committee: Melissa Martin-Kemel (Lyon 3 Jean Moulin University), Bérengère Lafiandra (Lyon 3 Jean Moulin University), Alma-Pierre Bonnet (Lyon 3 Jean Moulin University). Operating within the fields of narratology, political studies and discourse analysis, this special issue of Elad Silda aims to contribute to our understanding of how narratives frame the political debate today. As “one verbal technique for recapitulating past experience” (Labov & Waletzky 1967: 13), narratives const

Description: This is a 4-year predoc position (starting on 1 September 2025) during which time the successful applicant is required to contribute to the department's teaching and work on their PhD project. Applicants are expected to sumbit a proposal for a PhD project in the field of "cognitive-functional grammar".

Background: We see historical phonology as the branch of linguistics which links phonology to the past in any way. Its key concerns are (i) how and why the phonology of languages changes in diachrony, and (ii) the reconstruction of past synchronic stages of languages’ phonologies. These are inextricably linked: we need to understand what the past stages of languages were in order to understand which changes have occurred, and we need to understand which kinds of changes are possible and how t

The Steering Committee of the Conference on Methods in Dialectology and Language Diversity is pleased to announce its 19th conference, Methods XIX, to be held at the University of British Columbia at Vancouver, from 4-7 August 2026. Originally a forum for the discussion of methodological issues in dialect research, Methods conferences have progressively extended their topical range and now include the whole spectrum of regional, historical, and social language variation. The Methods series w

Linguistic research and theory construction has for a long time been conducted from a very Eurocentric perspective and mainly based on intuition. This type of armchair linguistics has been rightfully criticized, but fortunately, the last decades have seen a shift to more empirically oriented methods. Naturally, these methods were initially applied to well-known languages like English and German. However, more recently, empirical methods have also been more consistently applied to understudied la

The aim of this conference is to bring together specialists in didactics, linguistics, geography, and second language acquisition, as well as teacher trainers and secondary school teachers to discuss the teaching and learning of English as a Second Language (ESL) using a CLIL approach, in geography classes more specifically. The CEFR (2001, 2018) promotes an action-oriented perspective for the teaching of foreign languages and considers learners as social actors. This approach aims to engage

Final Call for Papers: Until recently, language resources supporting many tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and other areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been based on the assumption of a single ‘ground truth’ label sought via aggregation, adjudication, or statistical means. However, the field is increasingly focused on subjective and controversial tasks, such as quality estimation or abuse detection, in which multiple points of view may be equally valid; subjectivity, indeed,
