Meeting Description: The main focus of the NeuroD-WELL series of workshops is the early development of language in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, or at risk of developing language impairments due to familial risk or other risk factors. It is known that language deficits occur in a variety of neurodevelopmental disorders, as in intellectual disabilities, language disorder, social communication disorder, or autism spectrum disorder, as well as in at-risk groups. However, little

The study of modality in logic is as old as logic itself. Modern propositional and predicate logic replaced notions like ‘necessary’ and ‘possible’, traditionally used to define what it means for a proposition to follow from other propositions, by quantification over ways to interpret the non-logical symbols of the language. But the study of reasoning with the modalities themselves has continued in logic, with the modern tools now available. Early syntactic studies of systems for ‘strict implica

This book explores how language is used to create division and discrimination in diverse European societies by emphasizing differences in ethnicity, race, national identity, beliefs, or appearance. The authors analyze how public discourse—particularly in political and media narratives—shapes and reinforces an “us vs. them” mindset. They examine words and expressions that denigrate or marginalize specific groups in Polish, German, Czech, Slovak, and Croatian, and observe how certain communities a

Gothic is the earliest attested Germanic language. Although now extinct and without any direct modern descendants, it has left a significant imprint—particularly on the Romance languages. As such, Gothic offers invaluable source material for Indo-Europeanists, researchers of language contact, typologists, and general linguists alike. "The Etymological Gothic Dictionary Online" is a unique and comprehensive resource featuring advanced search functionalities —an essential addition to any academic

Call for Chapter Proposals Chinese Exiles’ Discourse on YouTube Editor: Dr. Winnie Seid This edited volume explores the unique political discourses of exiled Chinese YouTubers—voices that speak truths inaccessible within China due to censorship and repression. By analyzing these channels, the book seeks to shed light on new forms of counter-discourse, diasporic political engagement, and the global circulation of narratives about China. We invite proposals examining: - Individual exiled

This dissertation focuses on the central research question of how Mandarin compound words are represented during language production. Specifically, it examines whether compound words are stored in the mental lexicon in a decomposed or holistic manner. If decomposition occurs during production, at what level does it take place? Are the storage mechanisms at the lemma and lexeme levels-two stages in lexical selection-distinct? According to the theoretical model proposed by Levelt et al. (1999), de

Memory Retrieval in Dependency Resolution Beyond the Syntactic Domain Language is structured in a way that requires the establishment of linguistic dependency relations. This involves the storage and retrieval of linguistic information in memory during language processing. Linguistic rules determine which dependency relations are possible and which are not. Studying the real-time deployment of these rules has provided important insights into the retrieval mechanism underlying language process

This dissertation investigates comparative morphology in Ukrainian adjectives, adverbs, and deadjectival verbs. The comparative suffix in Ukrainian has two allomorphs: -š, as in molod-š-yj ‘younger’, and -iš, as in vesel-iš-yj ‘merrier’. I claim that the allomorph -iš is in fact comprised of two morphemes, -i and -š. I account for the comparative allomorphy in terms of root sizes using Nanosyntax. Big roots like molod take only one comparative morpheme, while smaller roots like vesel take
