2nd Call for Papers OASIS 5 (Ontology As Structured by the Interfaces with Semantics 5) will take place at the University of Edinburgh in the UK, December 3-5, 2025. The OASIS conference series aims to promote conversation across different disciplines that interface with semantics, using ontological questions as shared reference points. The broad questions in the background are these: - What basic ontological building blocks do we use to talk and think about the world? - How do these b

Preserving the original idea, the fifth edition of CIFRE is also organized by doctoral and postdoctoral students of the Department of Romance Languages, Faculty of Arts, Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic. Our objective is to provide a safe and inspiring space for the students of Master’s and Doctor’s degree of Romance Philologies where they can gain experience with presenting and defending their research topics in an international environment. It is also an opportunity to make contact w

According to the DP hypothesis, the merger of a determiner and a noun yields a determiner phrase (DP) rather than a noun phrase (nP). Focusing on Spanish, I defend the DP hypothesis but reject the notion that argumenthood is contingent upon a DP layer. Instead, I maintain that arguments can be as small as nP provided that they are c-commanded by a verb or a preposition, in which case the variables that they introduce are bound through a last-resort operation of existential closure. I then consid

Plenary presenters: - Vanessa Andreotti (University of Victoria) - Irina Golubeva (University of Maryland, Baltimore County) - Ricardo Romhild (University of Passau) In 2015, UN member states adopted Sustainable Development Goals to improve life globally by 2030. Goal 4 targets quality education for all, with emphasis on global citizenship and sustainable development. We explore: What role can intercultural communicative language education play in promoting sustainability? What might th

In the present book I unveil a constraint on the internal order of Sanskrit bahuvrīhi compounds and offer a configurational account for it. The fundamental ingredients of this account are: (i) the translation of the syntactic and semantic relations involved in Sanskrit bahuvrīhis into configurational terms; (ii) the interplay between movement and configurations (as in the theory of Dynamic Antisymmetry). By means of these two ingredients, I show that the ordering constraint on Sanskrit bahuvrīhi

We are pleased to invite submissions for a special issue of Applied Linguistics Compass exploring the role of discourse in constructing, contesting, and legitimising representations of war in the Middle East. This special issue seeks to bring together scholars working within Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) and related fields to investigate how narratives of conflict are shaped by ideological affiliations and identity positions. As wars in the Middle East remain central to global political di

EDITOR: Alan Cienki TITLE: The Cambridge Handbook of Gesture Studies PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press YEAR: 2024 SUMMARY The Cambridge Handbook of Gesture Studies is a fitting encapsulation of the state of a relatively young, interdisciplinary field of enquiry. Alan Cienki has managed the difficult task of distilling the topic while also reflecting a well-curated range of methods, voices and perspectives. An understanding of the vital role of gesture in language is essential for

We are pleased to announce the third edition of the 'Current issues in syntax, semantics, and pragmatics' workshop. Like in the previous years, the workshop will be part of the ÖLT (49th Austrian Linguistics Conference), which takes place December 5-8, 2025 in Klagenfurt, Austria. The workshop aims to create opportunities for researchers to discuss their original, unpublished work related to any of the fields mentioned in its title as well as at the interfaces. We invite submissions for oral pre

We are pleased to invite talk proposals for Arizona Linguistics Circle 18 (ALC 18). ALC 18 is an annual graduate student-run conference held at the University of Arizona. Our goal is to foster a deeper appreciation for linguistics while providing a healthy environment for academic discussion, especially as it concerns graduate student research. However, we happily invite submissions from scholars at all points in their careers, including undergraduate. The theme of this year’s conference is L

The question of how humans process social information is one of the biggest topics in cognitive science. This workshop addresses the topic from the perspective of linguistics and aims at breaking new ground by bringing together the two very different perspectives of sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology on the one hand and formal syntax and semantics on the other hand. Confirmed Speakers: Elin McCready (ICREA/Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) Emma Moore (University of Sheffield) Pa

DiversiPHy is pleased to announce a free online vowel plotting tool: the Vowel Map-o-lator (https://linguisticking.com/VowelMapolator.html) This tool is intended for students with little to no coding background such as introductory phonetics students, introductory sociolinguistics students, or honors/thesis students whose specialty is not in phonetics. With this tool, students and instructors can easily plot vowels and update visualizations as parameters in the plot change (e.g. transform the

Long-distance dependencies remain a central area of investigation across linguistic fields: syntax, semantics, pragmatics and language acqusition. They pose fundamental questions about clause structure, locality, and cross-linguistic variation, while also providing a rich opportunity for experimental work. This workshop invites contributions that address movement and agreement across clause boundaries, with a focus on the mechanisms and constraints that govern such dependencies. We invite
