The 4th edition of the Many Paths to Language conference focuses on meaningful differences in the way children acquire language. It will explore multiple sources of variation in early language development, including: children’s linguistic and cultural environments, their cognitive maturation, and the structural properties of the languages they are acquiring, alongside the implications of this variation for the mechanisms that drive and support native language acquisition, given the overall robus

Deverbal nominalisations and participles are among the most intensively studied representatives of so-called mixed categories. At least since Chomsky (1970), they have played a central role in debates on how syntax, morphology, and semantics interact in word formation. They occupy a theoretical middle ground between verbs and nouns/adjectives: they may preserve argument structure, aspectual interpretation, and event semantics, while simultaneously exhibiting nominal or adjectival morphology and

Clitics are a highly prominent category in Slavic languages, which raises fundamental questions about the interfaces between syntax, morphology, phonology, and information structure. They occupy a theoretical middle ground between words and affixes, and their placement often reflects complex interactions among syntactic position, prosodic structure, and discourse-related constraints (Franks & King 2000; Bošković 2001, 2008, 2016; Milićević 2023, a.m.o.). Slavic languages, with their rich clitic

The contemporary world is marked by a state of ongoing tension, no longer driven by isolated crises, but by the convergence and interplay of multiple, simultaneous crises: pandemics, war, migration, climate catastrophes, economic instability, disinformation, and the erosion of social trust. This polycrisis has become a new paradigm of experiencing reality — complex, unpredictable, and difficult to articulate in simple terms. In this context, language gains critical importance — not only as a to
