Call for Papers: As recent advances in AI and large language models continue to reshape language research, LLU 2026 aims to foster dialogue between AI scientists and linguists on research and applications related to language learning, representation, and understanding. Jointly organized by the Institute of Linguistics, Academia Sinica (ILAS) and the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics (NINJAL), LLU 2026 welcomes submissions presenting ideas, approaches, and findings from

Call for Papers: The Department of Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting of the Ionian University invites submissions for TIERA 2026: Translating and Interpreting in the Era of Algorithms, an international conference dedicated to exploring the impact of artificial intelligence, large language models, machine translation, and emerging technologies on translation and interpreting research, practice, and education. The conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue among schol

The Second Workshop on Replication in the Language Sciences (WoReLa 2) focuses on building cumulative knowledge in linguistics through reproducible, robust, and replicable research findings. Building on the success of WoReLa 1 in Frankfurt, this second workshop aims to further our understanding of the factors that contribute to (a lack of) replicability in the language sciences, and to identify effective strategies to improve how linguistic research is conducted. For WoReLa 2, we particularly en

Call for Papers: “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

Session 5-LING at 25th International Congress of the German Association of Hispanic Studies (DHV), 9–13 March 2027 Session Chairs: David Paul Gerards (Mainz) and Jonas Grünke (Regensburg) The Spanish-speaking world is characterized by transatlantic mobility and situations of intense language contact, in which Spanish comes into contact with indigenous and minority languages while functioning either as the sole first language or as one of several first languages. This section focuses on the

The Arabic Linguistics Society (ALS) and the University of California, Berkeley’s department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures are pleased to announce the 40th Annual Symposium on Arabic Linguistics (ASAL40) to be held at the University of California, Berkeley from April 2 to 4, 2027. Papers are invited on topics that deal with a variety of issues in Arabic linguistics. Presentations on research in the following areas of Arabic linguistics are welcome: - Linguistic analysis (Phonology

The conference aims to bring together voices from around the world to share knowledge, experiences and transformative projects related to linguistic diversity, social cohesion, culture and innovation working on the present and future of Basque and other minoritized and minority languages around the world. It will be an opportunity to reflect collectively on how languages can help build stronger, more open and more connected communities.

Die Ziele des Workshops sind, die bereits erfolgte Forschung zu kolonialer und postkolonialer Linguistik mit einem Schwerpunkt auf deutsch(sprachig)em Kolonialismus zu würdigen, bestehende Forschungslücken identifizieren und die Möglichkeit für neue Impulse eröffnen. Der Workshop soll auch Raum bieten, um üb

Newer results on modal particles (MPs) show that they have a large variety of functions that go beyond their Common Ground-managing function in an utterance (Repp, 2013). MPs have been shown to interact with gestural information (Schoonjans, 2018), Perspectivization (Klages, 2020; Hüge, 2025), and coherence relations (Döring & Repp, 2019; Seemann, 2025). Their contribution of not-at-issue meaning has been argued to impose additional use-conditions and processing costs (Hinterwimmer & Ebert, 2018

The Young Africanists Research Network (YARN) invites submissions for the workshop Interfaces and Multimodality, to be held as part of WOCAL (12th edition), taking place in Vienna from Wednesday, July 7 to Saturday, July 10, 2027. This workshop intends to provide a venue for discussion of how African languages can contribute to the understanding of the interaction and overlap of varying linguistic domains.
