Confs: What African Languages Can Teach Us About (Synchronic and Diachronic) Phonology
The historical relation between African languages and general phonology has been a mutually beneficial one: African languages have contributed to the development of phonology in quite central ways, and developments in phonological theory have in turn improved our understanding of the many fascinating complexities of African phonological systems.
This conference brings together 13 specialists of African linguistics and phonology to discuss the many contributions of African languages to the fie
FYI: Invited talk (Online / at Université Grenoble Alpes), 1 June 2026 - Bernhard Nickel (Harvard Philosophy Department) - "True Ideological Beliefs?"
ABSTRACT
On a pejorative use of the term, ideological beliefs are mistaken or misguided in ways that help sustain unjust social and political arrangements. Some cases, such as beliefs that treat historically contingent facts as natural or inevitable, are easy to diagnose as simply false.
More recently, however, attention has turned to generic generalizations about social groups. They appear to go beyond mere statistical description in ways that can support policies, yet they also stop short of

Summer Schools: School on Analytical Connectionism
Focus: This year's edition has a topical focus on language acquisition. We will discuss questions like: How can structured linguistic knowledge emerge during learning from naturalistic input? What principles govern the representation of this structured linguistic knowledge in neural systems? How do these principles enable compositionality and other forms of generalisation in language? And, in answering these questions, can we move from empirical demonstrations with neural networks toward mathema

Confs: Bridging the Linguistic Evidence Gap: Research on Language Development of Newly Arrived Migrant Students in European Schools
In many countries, newly arrived migrant students (NAMS) constitute a significant and growing share of the school population, making their educational integration a pressing concern for schools, policymakers, and researchers alike. European countries differ considerably in how they organise the school-based integration of NAMS: while some favour direct inclusion in mainstream classrooms from the outset, many employ separate or preparatory instructional settings in which newly arrived students re
