The goal of this panel is to maintain the meeting space for linguists working on ellipsis that was initiated at the LII Simposio de la SEL, held in Madrid in 2024.

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

Calls: Panel at LIV Simposio de la Sociedad Española de Lingüística: The Morphosyntax of Proper Names
Description:
During the last years there has been a growing interest in the study of the morphosyntactic behaviour of proper names (Ackermann & Schlücker 2017; Dammel & Handschuh 2019; Caro Reina & Helmbrecht 2022; Stolz & Nintemann 2024). From a typological perspective, it has been shown that proper names can, to varying degrees, morphosyntactically differ from common nouns. As a consequence, some scholars speak of a special onymic grammar (Nübling et al. 2015) while others propose a special a
