Confs: Workshop at SLE 2026: Constructions With Multiple Wh-words Across Languages
Valentina Apresjan (Dartmouth College), Mikhail Kopotev (University of Helsinki), Piotr Sobotka (Polish Academy of Sciences), Mladen Uhlik (University of Ljubljana)
This workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in the syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of constructions with multiple WH-words across languages. Such constructions involve two or more WH-elements that typically distribute over different arguments or functions, rather than forming collective units (cf. Moravcsik 1978;
Calls: Workshop at the 22nd International Morphology Meeting: Micromorphology of Inflection
Final Call for Papers:
The term “micromorphology” was coined by Stump 2017b for the hypothesis that an affix can itself be morphologically complex. Variations of this hypothesis and its uses have been investigated by Bochner 1993, Soukka 2000, Luís and Spencer 2005, and Stump 2017a, b, 2023, among others. The relevant phenomenon is illustrated for derivational suffixes in (1), see Stump 2017b for the demonstration that (1) involves a complex suffix rather than iterative addition.

Our aim is to foster cross-disciplinary discussions on various types or kinds of

Calls: Syn-Thèses - "Special Issue: Standard Languages and Geographical Varieties of Europe at the Crossroads of Contact Linguistics and Historical Dialectology" (Jrnl)
In general approaches to language contact and contact-induced change, the subject of research is typically the linguistic consequences of interaction between communities speaking different languages (Goebl et al. 1996, Thomason 2001, Myers-Scotton 2002, Winford 2003, Siemund & Kintana 2008, Matras 2009, Hickey 2010, a.m.o.). Contact between geographical varieties of a language is usually analyzed under the same framework as with autonomous languages. One difference often highlighted is that borr
Calls: Lexique - "Special Issue: Language, End of Life, Death, and Bereavement" (Jrnl)
Since the advent of transdisciplinary death studies in the 1970s, a plethora of research has been conducted in the humanities and social sciences on death-related issues, including end-of-life conditions and bereavement. This research has been undertaken in fields such as anthropology, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology (see for example Thomas 1975; Aries 1977; Baudry 1999; Boltanski 2004; Molinié 2006; Clavandier 2009; Despret 2015; Boltanski 2004).
