This workshop aims at bringing these two strands together, with a focus on delimitation problems between asyndetic complementation, qu

Speech perception seems to be rather effortless, yet a number of neural and cognitive processes are involved in mapping the acoustics of spoken language to meaning. These processes have been investigated extensively to date, but little is known about how they differ across individuals in clinical and non-clinical populations. Research on variability in speech perception provides important insights into our understanding of normal and impaired language processing and is critical for planning inte

I'm writing to remind you of an Algonquian reading group we began last year and are continuing this year: We (Natalie Weber and Shanti Ulfsbjorninn) are writing to invite you to join a monthly reading group on Algonquian morphophonology. We believe there many interesting phonological generalizations in Algonquian languages, many of which are not well-known outside the narrow Algonquianist community. Here's a space to discuss them! For this semester we plan to workshop current manuscripts f

Discourse particles are a key component of natural language, connecting structural and semantic content with speaker stance, discourse structuring, and pragmatic meaning. They have been described as elements that contribute little to truth-conditional content but are crucial for managing interaction and guiding interpretation. While particles in some languages have received sustained attention, there remains a lot to be learnt about their role in natural language more generally. This workshop

16th International Conference of the Association for Linguistic Typology Diversity in Systemic Expansion and Contraction (WS2) Workshop organizers: Oliver Bond and Dávid Győrfi The grammatical systems of languages – such as case, gender or TAM systems – can vary considerably in terms of the core distinctions they make (and the exponents thereof) even in closely related languages. In the most striking cases, some family members have systems that encode a handful of cross-linguistically fami

Call for Papers: In a world characterised by the presence of multiple, simultaneous and overlapping crises, language and communication have an increasingly important role. For example, in the context of large-scale, societal crises, effective communication during and about a crisis keeps people calm and informed by carefully controlling the flow of information, and by providing guidelines and directions that are understood and accepted by all segments of the populace. Similarly, during organ
