Newer results on modal particles (MPs) show that they have a large variety of functions that go beyond their Common Ground-managing function in an utterance (Repp, 2013). MPs have been shown to interact with gestural information (Schoonjans, 2018), Perspectivization (Klages, 2020; Hüge, 2025), and coherence relations (Döring & Repp, 2019; Seemann, 2025). Their contribution of not-at-issue meaning has been argued to impose additional use-conditions and processing costs (Hinterwimmer & Ebert, 2018

Convenor: Jesús Olguín-Martínez (University of Hong Kong) Location: University of Hong Kong Linguistics Department Date: 2-3-March-2027 Description. Different linguistic theories have established boundaries among grammatical domains (Diessel 2019, 2023).

Although research within this linguistic framework has deepened our understanding of language as an em

From Migritude to Fémigritude: African Women Writers Theorizing Migration and Displacement Inspired by Jacques Chevrier's notion of migritude, which identifies a body of African writing concerned with migration, exile, and displacement (Chevrier 97-102), and building on Filomina Chioma Steady's conception of African feminism as rooted in women's material realities, survival, and collective well-being (Steady 8-15), this panel proposes fémigritude as a framework for reading African women's lit

Krefeld & Pustka 2010; Boutier, Hadermann & Van Acker 2013;

La compréhension de l’oral constitue une des compétences fondamentales dans l’apprentissage des langues (Gadet et Guérin, 2008, Zoghlami et Hilton, 2021). Malgré sa complexité et son intérêt, elle gagnerait toutefois à faire l’objet de davantage de recherches (Vandergrift and Goh, 2012 ; Wolf et al., 2019 ; He et al., 2022), notamment en raison de la diversification des supports et canaux par lesquels transitent les intrants langagiers (contextes officiels ou formels – i.e. radio, TV, conférence
