Confs: Workshop at SinFonIJA 19: Deverbal Nominalizations and Participles

Thu, 03/05/2026 - 07:05
Deverbal nominalisations and participles are among the most intensively studied representatives of so-called mixed categories. At least since Chomsky (1970), they have played a central role in debates on how syntax, morphology, and semantics interact in word formation. They occupy a theoretical middle ground between verbs and nouns/adjectives: they may preserve argument structure, aspectual interpretation, and event semantics, while simultaneously exhibiting nominal or adjectival morphology and

Confs: Workshop at SinFonIJA 19: Cliticization in Slavic and beyond. Theory, Data and Change

Thu, 03/05/2026 - 06:05
Clitics are a highly prominent category in Slavic languages, which raises fundamental questions about the interfaces between syntax, morphology, phonology, and information structure. They occupy a theoretical middle ground between words and affixes, and their placement often reflects complex interactions among syntactic position, prosodic structure, and discourse-related constraints (Franks & King 2000; Bošković 2001, 2008, 2016; Milićević 2023, a.m.o.). Slavic languages, with their rich clitic

Software: Elisheet: A Google Sheets–Based Tool for Linguistic Elicitation and Audio Data Collection

Wed, 03/04/2026 - 19:05
As a linguist engaged extensively in fieldwork and linguistic elicitation (wordlists, paradigms, sentence frames, and more), I began to notice a recurring pattern: most of us prepare our elicitation materials in spreadsheets. That observation led to a simple question: Why not let the spreadsheet become the elicitation sheet? From that idea, I developed Elisheet — a Google Sheets–based script designed to support structured linguistic elicitation and audio data collection directly within a spre
