Call for Papers: Virtually all phonological theorizing references phonological typology in some respect. For example, cross-linguistic tendencies are routinely invoked in support of claims about markedness and the constraint set. At the same time, there remain major divides in the field with respect to evidential and explanatory standards. Researchers often operate under distinct formal assumptions about levels of representation, the nature of phonological alternations, and the relationship b

Viewpoint is the locus of consciousness in a given space or conceptual model of the world. Human beings make use of several linguistic resources to project their own viewpoint as well as viewpoints of other entities. These resources are organized into “semiotic channels” which are categories based on the mode of information being conveyed. These channels run the gamut from the manipulation of the acoustic signal to the choice and arrangement of words and even facial expressions and gestures. The

Call for Papers: The Practice of Arguing Together: Argumentation as Social Competency in Higher Education These days, it is not enough for students to just know their field. The challenges we face – such political polarization or climate change – do not respect disciplinary boundaries. In that respect, scholars have pointed to the role of higher education institutions to educate “future-ready graduates” (la Cara et al. 2023). HEIs are expected to help students develop so-called “21st-century
