This workshop is organized as part of the 49th Annual Conference of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS 2027). Workshop Description: Information Structure (IS) is a broad domain of linguistic inquiry, addressing how speakers organize and present information in discourse. Crucially, languages employ a wide range of strategies across (morpho)syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and prosody to package information within discourse (Féry and Krifka, 2008; Féry and Ishihara, 2016). Despite a substantial

The 5th International Conference on Discourse Pragmatics (ICDP-5) will be held online from 16 to 18 October 2026. The theme of the conference is “(Im)politeness in Changing Communicative Worlds.” Over the past decades, (im)politeness has become one of the most dynamic research areas in pragmatics and discourse studies. Moving beyond early face-based models, recent research has increasingly focused on how (im)politeness is negotiated in interaction through emotion, power, identity, relational

This workshop is organized by Marianna Lohmann and Barbara Schlücker (Freie Universität Berlin) as part of the 49th Annual Conference of the German Linguistic Society (49. Jahrestagung der DGfS 2027 „Sprache unter dem Mikroskop – Beobachtung, Analyse, Theorie“), which will take place in Jena from 3 to 5 March 2027. Workshop Description: Copular clauses are simple syntactic structures. They consist minimally of a (referential) NP as subject and a (non-verbal) predicate which, in many language

“Natural languages offer a variety of means not only to describe our world by making a claim with specific truth conditions, but also to address the validity of the claim and highlight its truth itself.” (Müller 2024: 577) There is however only limited research on the means that languages other than German and English use for such truth highlighting, or verum marking (most notably, Gutzmann et al. 2020, Kerr & van der Wal 2023, De Cia 2025). From this research, there already emerges a variety of

Meaning is not a static property of words or sentences but an emergent, context-sensitive outcome of cognitive and communicative processes. Historical semantics provides an essential backdrop for understanding how meaning emerges and transforms across time, and how changes in meaning correlate with shifts in conceptual organization and communicative practice. Rather than treating semantic change as a sequence of isolated shifts, contemporary approaches emphasize its dynamic, cognitively motivate

Language and texts have an astounding capacity to generate different meanings with every interpretation. As such, Catherine Malabou frames this regenerative capacity as “something like a scar, tugging the skin of a text to distribute its meaning differently, to reveal within it a new organization, to make possibly in the very text different movements and different effects of truth.” She defines plasticity as “this regenerative force of reading” (29). Form, whether textual, oral, pictorial, artef

Co-organised by the International Linguistic Society and DELAD (Database Enterprise for Language and Speech Disorders) Language disorders affect individuals across all ages and languages. While many are congenital and emerge in early childhood, others develop later in life as a result of neurological conditions, illness, or injury. Addressing this global and multilingual reality requires robust, well-documented, and ethically managed language disorder corpora. This special session focuses

We invite submissions for a workshop on (the relationship between) at-issueness and commitment in natural language semantics, pragmatics, psycholinguistics, philosophy of language, and related fields. At-issueness and commitment are central notions in the analysis of meaning and discourse, each widely studied in its own right. However, the relationship between the two remains unresolved. Existing findings paint a mixed picture: while pragmatic inferences such as implicatures are often associa
