Call for Abstracts: This Digital Studies in Language and Literature Special Issue invites work that explores how GenAI literacy is defined, measured, and promoted within language and literature classrooms. We seek contributions that move beyond speculative frameworks to offer empirical insights. This includes research that validates instruments for measuring GenAI literacy, explores interventions targeting GenAI literacy, and investigates how GenAI develops overtime in learners. This may also i

Meeting Description: Since Downing's (1970) seminal work on English intonational phrases (IPs), a growing body of literature has shown that selected types of subordinate clauses can clearly form their own IPs. As for English, it has been generally observed that adverbial clauses are prosodically integrated into the matrix clause when they appear in their base position or attach to a position that is in the scope of the main verb. For example, Downing (1970: 82) observes that temporal "while"-

Meeting Description: Over the past years, the international scientific network "Adverbial Clauses and Subordinate Dependency Relationships", funded by the German Science Foundation (grant no. 455700544), has brought together a growing body of scholars to investigate the structure, function, and variation of adverbial clauses from a range of theoretical and empirical perspectives. The conferences have addressed their syntax, semantics, prosody, diachrony, typology, and cross-linguistic variation

Meeting Description: Subordinate clauses are among the most prominent linguistic phenomena illustrating the capacity of a computational mechanism to generate recursive structures. A central question in this domain is whether all subordination strategies can be reduced to a single abstract structure. This issue has inspired several productive lines of inquiry. One influential hypothesis is that complement clauses, particularly those embedded under factive predicates, may be analyzed as a subty

No wonder sugar is on everyone’s lips (pun intended): it is just an omnipresent item and a hotly debated topic. But there are many facets to it: sugar is an agricultural product, a food item, a nutrient, and a biochemical component of our bodies. The meanings of sugar are thus constructed in many different discourses, with different aspects being foregrounded. Many of these aspects are problematic and controversial, whether the role of slavery and the exploitation of people and the environment i

The main aim of the Workshop on Linguistic Variation at Interfaces III – VARINT26 is to widen our understanding of the empirical phenomena displaying linguistic variation, their relevance for the design of the overall grammatical architecture, and the current status of approaches to variation in terms of (micro) parameters and networks. Descriptive-formal generative approaches to variation are founded on the hypothesis that variation among languages is understood as the interaction between a

Does Brazilian Portuguese allow P-stranding?A syntactic and lexical argument for P-orphaning Hi everyone, I’m preparing to present a version of my MA thesis this October at the Konstanz Linguistics Conference and would really appreciate your thoughts and feedback before then. The topic concerns the syntax of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) prepositions that appear without adjacent complements — often analyzed as P-stranding, but I argue these are better analyzed as P-orphaning, involving a lexic

Call for Papers: Queer Linguistics applies insights from Queer Theory to linguistics. More specifically, it seeks to explore the intersections of language and social identity informed by a non-binary, social constructionist and interactional perspective on gender and sexuality. Queer linguistic research investigates how speakers use language to subvert and reconfigure linguistic and socio-cultural hegemonies. As a growing area of inquiry, it critically explores variation, creativity, and the
