In 2005 the American Philosophical Society launched the Lewis and Clark Fund for Exploration and Field Research. The brainchild of APS President Baruch Blumberg, the fund was created to support exploratory field studies for the collection of specimens and data and to provide the imaginative stimulus that accompanies direct observation. Since its inception, the program has been doggedly interdisciplinary and has supported over 900 projects on all seven continents in a wide-range of fields, such a

Preamble: Many contemporary studies treat the lexicon as an autonomous entity not affected by other components of a given language (Jeżek 2016, Pustejovsky and Batiukova 2024, Talmy 2007, 2023). The aim of the workshop is to examine how functions encoded in the grammatical systems, and the forms used to encode them (i.e. syntax), interact with the lexicon. The following are some of the manifestations of the grammatical system on the lexicon that will be examined at the workshop: - One man

LeWiDi: Shared task on Learning With Disagreement - Call for participation We'd like to invite researchers in disagreement and variation to participate in the third edition of the LeWidi shared tasks held in conjunction with the NLPerspectives workshop at the EMNLP conference in Suzhou, China.

Call for Papers in International Sign (IS): https://s.gwdg.de/ZZsMdS (Note: Link opens MP4 video file.) Background: The world’s different sign languages offer a unique perspective on the human capacity for language and their rigorous scientific study within linguistics since the 60s of the past century has provided a multitude of novel insights. Some of these have significantly and lastingly changed how we conceptualize and investigate our species’ faculty of language: We now understand la
