The survey will take a few minutes. Everyone is welcome to participate, regardless of their native langauge(s). Note that we would like you to evaluate intelligibility (how ea

We are seeking contributions for an edited volume centered around the study of the language of monsters and the monstrous, analyzing media representations of the language of non-human entities to shed light on othering, defamiliarization, dehumanization, and the linguistics of the non-human.

PhonolEEGy3 The goal of the PhonolEEGy conference is to intersect experimental research based on EEG / MEG with phonological theory. While EEG / MEG-based research concerning linguistically relevant sound and its patterning (phonology) is growing, work that explicitly addresses phonological theory is still relatively limited. The conference aims at promoting EEG / MEG-based experimental evidence as it informs phonological theory to grow the intersection of these fields. The conference will

Call for Papers: This issue explores how different theoretical traditions have conceptualized the generative capacities of language and thought, and how these ideas intersect with contemporary developments in AI. We will focus on the frameworks of Noam Chomsky, Gustave Guillaume, Antoine Culioli, Algirdas Julien Greimas, and Joseph Courtés, each offering a distinct perspective on the generative processes underpinning meaning construction. At the core of Noam Chomsky's transformational-gene

Sprache fungiert nicht nur als Instrument der Verständigung, sondern auch als ein wirkungsvolles Mittel sozialer Strukturierung. Sie kann Gemeinschaften formen und Identitäten festigen, zugleich aber auch Grenzen markieren und Exklusionsmechanismen verstärken. Durch spezifische Diskurspraktiken, Terminologien oder sprachliche Kodierungen werden Zugehörigkeiten definiert und Grenzen gezogen – teils subtil, teils mit explizit ausgrenzender Intention. In der zehnten Innsbrucker Winterschool „Pot

Dear linguists, I am looking for funny situations that you encountered in the use and misuse of markers of mirativity (surprise) and epistemic modality (possibility and certainty). Perhaps you have a fieldwork situation, or an issue that second-language learners encounter? The goal is to use these as illustrations in an online course about the broader field of epistemicity (the knowledge of speaker and addressee as expressed in the linguistically), so that participants in the course see
