The question of how humans process social information is one of the biggest topics in cognitive science. This workshop addresses the topic from the perspective of linguistics and aims at breaking new ground by bringing together the two very different perspectives of sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology on the one hand and formal syntax and semantics on the other hand. Confirmed Speakers: Elin McCready (ICREA/Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) Emma Moore (University of Sheffield) Pa

Long-distance dependencies remain a central area of investigation across linguistic fields: syntax, semantics, pragmatics and language acqusition. They pose fundamental questions about clause structure, locality, and cross-linguistic variation, while also providing a rich opportunity for experimental work. This workshop invites contributions that address movement and agreement across clause boundaries, with a focus on the mechanisms and constraints that govern such dependencies. We invite

SciProdLLM 2025 is a forum for presenting and discussing research on integrating large language models (LLMs) into the typical research workflow: from ideation to experimentation to scientific writing, with a particular focus on human-centered approaches that ensure ethical and responsible use of LLMs. We also invite work that evaluates the quality of LLM-assisted research workflows and the resulting outputs. We welcome submissions on any aspect of human-LLM collaboration for science producti

Anglistics.org is delighted to announce its upcoming International Conference on English Studies, bringing together scholars, researchers, and practitioners from around the world to engage in dynamic conversations across language, literature, theatre, and cultural studies. We welcome proposals for articles, reviews, and research notes that approach these fields from fresh, innovative, and interdisciplinary perspectives. Publication Opportunity: All participants will have the opportunity t

Background: Language and identity are deeply and strongly interconnected. In today’s world marked by globalization, digital communication, migration (both forced and voluntary), accessibility of cultural exchange, power dynamics, this relationship is more complex and dynamic than ever. Identity is a complex construct that has given rise to a range of views and perspectives. Within the essentialist framework, it is perceived as fixed and naturally determined. Constructivists, however, consider i

When linguists investigate musical culture, its discursive character is usually mostly explicated through the analysis of journalistic texts (see e.g. Bär 2024; Stöckl 2011; Thim-Mabrey 2001). This focus on finished musical works and their mediated representations, however, often obscures the creative practices and discursive dynamics ‘in the making’ beyond symbolic references – that is, language use embedded in and shaped by embodied, material interactions (cf. Peirce 1998 [1894]). In contrast,

We are happy to announce that the 13th edition of the International Word Processing Conference (WoProc 2026) will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from 6–8 July 2026. WoProc 2026 continues the legacy of the International Morphological Processing Conference (MoProc)—a biennial event that, since 1999, has brought together researchers from around the world to exchange ideas and discuss advances in morphological processing. As in the previous edition (WoProc 2024 in Belgrade), the scope of the

Meeting Description: Since Downing's (1970) seminal work on English intonational phrases (IPs), a growing body of literature has shown that selected types of subordinate clauses can clearly form their own IPs. As for English, it has been generally observed that adverbial clauses are prosodically integrated into the matrix clause when they appear in their base position or attach to a position that is in the scope of the main verb. For example, Downing (1970: 82) observes that temporal "while"-

Meeting Description: Over the past years, the international scientific network "Adverbial Clauses and Subordinate Dependency Relationships", funded by the German Science Foundation (grant no. 455700544), has brought together a growing body of scholars to investigate the structure, function, and variation of adverbial clauses from a range of theoretical and empirical perspectives. The conferences have addressed their syntax, semantics, prosody, diachrony, typology, and cross-linguistic variation

Meeting Description: Subordinate clauses are among the most prominent linguistic phenomena illustrating the capacity of a computational mechanism to generate recursive structures. A central question in this domain is whether all subordination strategies can be reduced to a single abstract structure. This issue has inspired several productive lines of inquiry. One influential hypothesis is that complement clauses, particularly those embedded under factive predicates, may be analyzed as a subty

No wonder sugar is on everyone’s lips (pun intended): it is just an omnipresent item and a hotly debated topic. But there are many facets to it: sugar is an agricultural product, a food item, a nutrient, and a biochemical component of our bodies. The meanings of sugar are thus constructed in many different discourses, with different aspects being foregrounded. Many of these aspects are problematic and controversial, whether the role of slavery and the exploitation of people and the environment i

The main aim of the Workshop on Linguistic Variation at Interfaces III – VARINT26 is to widen our understanding of the empirical phenomena displaying linguistic variation, their relevance for the design of the overall grammatical architecture, and the current status of approaches to variation in terms of (micro) parameters and networks. Descriptive-formal generative approaches to variation are founded on the hypothesis that variation among languages is understood as the interaction between a
