Traditionally, the study of grammatical behavior across languages has focused almost exclusively on morphological properties, including inflection, derivation, and word-class composition (Matthews 1974, 1991). Later developments in linguistic theory shifted attention to sentence structure through Phrase Structure Grammar (Chomsky 1957), followed by an emphasis on the distinction between competence and performance (Chomsky 1965). This latter perspective positioned linguistics as primarily concern

Conference Topic: The central theme of the conference addresses the link between identity and the digital sphere, particularly how various identities are discursively constructed and performed within the diverse constraints and affordances of various digital platforms. The papers presented at the conference will apply various approaches to digitally-mediated discourse analysis, including multimodal studies, critical linguistics, sociopragmatics, corpus-assisted discourse analysis etc. that pr

We invite submissions for the workshop Theoretical Linguistics at School, which aims to promote the integration of theoretical linguistics into secondary education. In the Netherlands, upcoming curriculum reforms for Dutch and modern foreign languages (SLO 2024/2025) mark a significant paradigm shift. Traditionally, these subjects have focused primarily on language proficiency, with limited attention to linguistic reasoning. The new learning objectives explicitly include “considering form an

Communication is essential to tourism. International tourism, particularly, is situated at the crossroads of language, culture, marketing communication, and “worldmaking”. As destinations compete for visibility in an increasingly global and digital environment, where traveller expectations shift rapidly, where the challenges for destinations in terms of sustainability and managing tourism responsibility become imperative, the ability to mediate experiences and translate local identity into co

Description: Whistled languages offer a natural laboratory for studying how human speech can be acoustically reduced yet remain intelligible. This interdisciplinary workshop explores their phonetic, phonological, and neurocognitive dimensions across the world—from Greek Sfyria to Silbo Gomero and Tashlhiyt Berber. By integrating acoustic analysis, typology, and recent EEG and behavioral findings, the meeting investigates how left- and right-hemispheric processes cooperate in decoding melodic s

The 9th International H-INET Conference marks a decade of H-INET activities, celebrating ten years of collaboration, research, and innovation in language education. Organized in collaboration with the Israeli Forum of Academic Writing (IFAW), this special anniversary conference brings together language educators, researchers, and practitioners to explore new perspectives on language teaching and learning in rapidly changing educational, technological, and social contexts. Day 1 (September 6) wil

Argumentaire: La poésie française est souvent étudiée dans la continuité de ses fondements antiques, grecs et latins, en particulier sur les plans thématiques et génériques. En revanche, le recours des poètes à l’étymologie a fait l’objet d’études plus sporadiques ou intégrées à de plus vastes enquêtes linguistiques (Rigolot 1977 ; Demonet 1992), alors que l’histoire d’un mot, depuis son berceau grec ou latin principalement, a de longue date passionné les poètes. Ces journées d’étude proposent

Edith W. Clowes conceptualises post-Soviet culture in Russia on the Edge: Imagined Geographies and Post-Soviet Identity (Cornell University Press, 2011) and “The Return of Eurasia: Imagining Empire in Post-Soviet Russia” (Ab Imperio, 3 (2005), 69–96). Clowes’s article shifts imperial imaginaries and frames the Black Sea as a dynamic cultural site rather than a periphery. Positioned at the intersection of empires, languages, and shifting cultural hegemonies, the Black Sea constitutes a complex

Contemporary migration is a phenomenon shaped by histories of displacement, changing work opportunities, geopolitical shifts, global inequalities, and the climate emergency. As people migrate, they navigate new social, cultural, political, and linguistic terrains. A large proportion of people who migrate for better opportunities elsewhere tend to be at the mercy of forces of power both at the origin and in the destination. In the process, their identities are reshaped across roots (heritage and

The study of cross-linguistic variability between languages has been a central question in linguistic theory and has delivered important insights into language. This focus on cross-linguistic variation is essential for formulating and testing linguistic theories: A theory of grammar should be a theory of all possible human grammars. Similarly, a theory of the psychology of language should be based on cross-linguistic evidence: Although grammars are language-specific, speakers' minds and brains a

Following the 1st International Conference on Contemporary Spanish Bilingual Lexicography held at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Granada on June 2023, we are pleased to announce the 2nd International Conference on Contemporary Bilingual Spanish Lexicography (BIL.LEX26).
