Linguistic enclaves and/or islands are communities whose spoken variety differs from that of the surrounding majority, often preserved through geographical, social, or political separation. Whether they are long-established diaspora varieties, historical settler languages, or indigenous communities encircled by an official standard language, enclave languages offer rich insights in a variety of linguistic issues. Having long coexisted in regions of intense multilingualism, migration, and shif

GloSoc6 is the sixth edition of the conference series focusing on mainstreaming lesser-known sociolinguistic research. It will take place at the University of Verona, Italy, from 23 to 25 June 2027.This edition’s theme is 'nonverbal communication in everyday interaction', focusing on the body as a silent communicator. While spoken language is commonly analysed linguistically, such analyses capture only part of how people create and convey meaning. Indeed, spoken communication relies heavily o

Workshop organizers: - Maik Thalmann (Ruhr University Bochum) - Daniel Gutzmann (Ruhr University Bochum) Invited speakers: - Cornelia Ebert (University of Frankfurt) - David Beaver (University of Graz) Workshop Description: At-issueness as a category of linguistic description reflects the intuition that the meaning of an utterance can be partitioned into foregrounded (at-issue) and backgrounded (non-at-issue) contents. To date, the at-issue/non-at-issue divide has been fruitfull

One of the central goals of syntactic typology is to reduce complex linguistic phenomena—and the often fine-grained variation they exhibit across languages—to a set of simpler underlying mechanisms. This enterprise involves deriving a wide range of syntactic constructions from constrained sets of features or other syntactic primitives that can combine in different constellations across languages. In this workshop, to be held at DGfS 2027 in Jena, we zoom in on these primitives and ask two interr

The Second Workshop on Replication in the Language Sciences (WoReLa 2) focuses on building cumulative knowledge in linguistics through reproducible, robust, and replicable research findings. Building on the success of WoReLa 1 in Frankfurt, this second workshop aims to further our understanding of the factors that contribute to (a lack of) replicability in the language sciences, and to identify effective strategies to improve how linguistic research is conducted. For WoReLa 2, we particularly en
