Call for Papers: This workshop is organized as part of the DGfS 49th Annual Conference 2027 'Language under the Microscope – Observation, Analysis, Theory' Workshop Description: Clitic pronouns and agreement markers are traditionally treated as distinct elements of grammar: clitics as (deficient) pronouns, agreement as a purely morphological reflex of syntactic relations.

The topics represent the intricate syntax of South Asian languages. They are also topics that Prof. Probal Dasgupta had researched on during his lifetime, among many other grammatical aspects. We or

We are pleased to announce that the 7th Phonetics and Phonology in Europe conference (PaPE 2027) will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, from June 14 to June 17, 2027. PaPE is an interdisciplinary forum for research on all areas of phonetics and phonology, with a special focus on the relationship between the two. It promotes discussion of phonetics and/or phonology and their related areas, from multiple perspectives such as experimental phonetics, laboratory phonology, formal phonology, neurolinguisti

Culture is an essential component of language learning and our languages are a vitally important part of who we are. The setting of our second international symposium brings to mind the interconnections between freedom, language, and culture throughout history and today. As you consider some of the suggested stands, or create your own, we invite you to think about how these themes (culture, longevity, liberation) relate to freedom movements throughout the development of societies and to the ways

Title: Explaining the emergence of pragmatic markers: Cooptation, pragmaticalization, constructionalization? Panel organizers: Wiltrud Mihatsch (Tübingen), Inga Hennecke (Tübingen), Gunther Kaltenböck (Graz), Stefan Schneider (Graz) Pragmatic markers, a heterogeneous class of extra-clausal expressions including discourse markers, stance adverbials, interjections, and formulae of social exchange, occupy a peculiar position in linguistic analysis. While their functional properties are relative

This panel focuses on the study of word searches as interactional phenomena that affect the progressivity of turns, sequences, and activities. In contrast to cognitive approaches, which treat troubles in turn production, such as speech perturbations or hesitations, primarily as rooted in individual, cognitive processes (e.g. Levelt 1983; Goodglass et al. 1989), conversation-analytic research has investigated word searches as a particular type of repair (e.g. Schegloff et al. 1977) and emphasised

IPAbet is a fast and memorable keyboard for typing the International Phonetic Alphabet, directly in any application. It is a normal US keyboard: unshifted keys type plain US characters, while IPA symbols take at most two keystrokes, using familiar spellings and romanization conventions — s⇧H → ʃ (as in "sh"), t⇧H → θ, n⇧G → ŋ, 2⇧H → ʔ (from the Arabic chat alphabet). Diacritics are dead keys on the Option layer, like the standard accent keys. Every symbol on the IPA chart is covered — pulmonic a

This handbook draws together international perspectives on technology and its application to language teaching and learning, written and edited by leading scholars in the field. It meets the increasing demand for pedagogically-informed online language instruction, which is particularly important in the context of the effects that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on the education sector on a global scale, as well as exploring language learning in informal and non-formal contexts.
