The conference considers all aspects of the linguistic and sociolinguistic competences and practices of bi-/multilingual speakers who cross existing social and linguistic boundaries, adopting or adapting themselves to new and overlapping linguistic spaces. We invite papers in all areas of research in bi-/multilingualism, whether or not linked directly to the overarching conference theme, including, but not limited to, linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, clinical

Introduction The digital revolution is transforming language learning and teaching, driven by rapid advancements in technology. As language educators and researchers, we stand at the forefront of this transformation, tasked with harnessing the potential of technology to enhance second language acquisition. The intersection of technology and language learning has the potential to either revolutionize or replicate existing pedagogical practices, depending on how thoughtfully we design and apply t

I’m excited to announce a fun project that students in my lab and I have been developing this year — A YouTube channel called HELLO Lab Presents (https://www.youtube.com/@TheHELLOLab). Our goal is to provide parents with evidence-based ‘edutainment’ on language development and related topics that they have questions (and sometimes misinformation) about. The videos are also a tribute to the work you have contributed to the ever-growing and ever-changing body of knowledge. Here’s what we have

Ph.D. positions in Linguistics Description: The DFG-funded Emmy Noether group “Socially relevant pragmatic inference”, hosted by the University of Tübingen” (PI Dr. Asya Achimova), is inviting applications for a 3-year PhD position in Linguistics (65%, TV-L 13 scale, approximately €3.000 per month before taxes and obligatory insurances). The project combines experimental and computational approaches to the study of inferences that speakers and listeners draw in the course of communication. I

Description: The successful candidate will contribute to the teaching, research, and academic service activities of the department, with a primary focus on delivering high-quality instruction in linguistics and supporting the development of undergraduate and/or graduate programs.

Call for Papers: The CLDC provides a forum for researchers interested in language, discourse, and cognition to present new findings, exchange innovative ideas, and share approaches across disciplines. Topics relevant to these areas, as well as interdisciplinary studies stimulated over the past years, have given rise to a growing body of critical insights, making CLDC an important event in the field of cognitive linguistics in East Asia. Building on this tradition, studies presented at CLDC

Throughout the history of humanity, we are constantly recording, documenting, remembering. We catalog on cave walls, on wax tablets and wooden boards, on animal skins, on paper, and now, on electronic devices. Everything that we know and remember today is such because it was made to exist. But how about what wasn’t? In this issue, we are re-remembering what was left out: the lost, the overlooked, the forgotten. Our understanding is shaped as much by what is neglected as by what is preserved,

Computational modelling has long been a highly influential research method in the study of human language processing. In the last decade or so, the impact of computational simulations has further increased with the availability of models with human-scale knowledge of language statistics and the development of powerful linking functions (based on, for instance, information theory and distributional semantics) between model predictions and human processing, as well as the availability of large-sca
