At least since Keenan (1976), prototypical subjects have been defined in terms of coding and behavioral properties, such as case marking, clause-initial position, subject-verb inversion, conjunction reduction, raising, and control. These diagnostics have been successfully applied to several languages and have thus led to the discovery of non-canonically case-marked subjects in Icelandic (Andrews 1976, Thráinsson 1976, inter alia) and the South Asian languages (Masica 1976, Kachru, Kachru & Bhati

Schulaustausch lebt von Interaktion, doch entsteht diese nicht immer von selbst. Beobachtungen legten in diesem Zusammenhang offen, dass es Schüler*innen insbesondere in frühen Phasen des Fremdsprachenlernens schwerfällt, mit Austauschpartner*innen in Kontakt zu treten. Um solchen Unsicherheiten zu begegnen und mehrsprachige Austauschinteraktionen zu fördern, wurde im Rahmen einer Aktionsforschung ein Schreibprojekt entwickelt, das sich an den Austauschphasen orientiert und an den Unsicherheiten

Taal als muur: een sociolinguïstisch onderzoek naar taal en cultuur van de mennonietengemeenschap Salamanca in Bacalar, Quintana Roo, Mexico De Ooltkolonia mennonieten in Salamanca en elders in heel Amerika zijn radicaal behoudende nakomelingen van doopsgezinden uit de 16de-eeuwse Nederlanden en het 17de- en 18de-eeuwse Pools/Pruisische deltagebied rondom Gdansk. Hun afgezonderde levensorde baseert deze landbouwgemeenschap op de leerstellingen van de Friese predikant Menno Simons. Met het

This thesis investigates syntactic complexity in Russian Sign Language (RSL) and Sign Language of the Netherlands (Nederlandse Gebarentaal, NGT), focusing on two types of complex constructions: complement clauses and relative clauses. A combination of corpus analysis and experimental methods (elicitation and acceptability judgments) is employed to examine these structures in both languages. The study of complement clauses reveals both cross-linguistic parallels and points of divergence. In bo

In this book, feminisation – the marking of female sex on personal nouns – in Dutch and German is investigated contrastively, diachronically, and corpus-linguistically. The corpus-based approach entails a theoretical and methodological shift from a structuralist and essentialist approach to the interplay of language and sex to a poststructuralist, usage-based and holistic perspective, which has long been lacking from the scientific domain of Gender Linguistics. Starting from the observation t

Tras el éxito de la sesión monográfica del Simposio SEL 2025 celebrado en Salamanca, nos proponemos avanzar en la exploración de las correlaciones entre la variación lingüística y el contacto lingüístico y/o las actitudes lingüísticas, considerados motores clave del cambio lingüístico (Bloomfield, 1933; Johnstone, Andrus & Danielson, 2006; Labov, 1963, 2001). Las contribuciones presentadas en aquella sesión pusieron de manifiesto la relevancia fundamental del contacto (Poplack & Levey, 2010) y/o

A PhD position is available at the Center for the Study of Language and Society at the University of Bern. The successful candidate will conduct research on the perceived credibility of foreign-accented speakers in courtroom contexts (the specific accent/language combinations studied to be determined in consultation with the successful applicant). Using virtual reality to elicit attitudinal responses within information-rich environments, the PhD project will identify how social and role-linked s

We are conducting a meta-analysis on studies that have examined semantic context effects, namely the effects of semantic category and semantic associativity, in the picture-word interference (PWI) paradigm in children. For this purpose, we would be most grateful if you would share with us information about any relevant unpublished studies, whether a grey paper, preprint, or raw data. Eligibility criteria include: - data from PWI studies examining the effect of semantic interference - data
