FYI: Panel at LAGB Linguistics Association of Northern Ireland and Great Britain: "Rhythms of Expression: Intersections of Music and Language across Genres"
This panel comprises a collection of 6 contributions and 2 general discussions. Our talks focus on the specific relationship between music and language. The first 3 papers report new findings in textsetting. These talks collectively argue that musical settings actively shape and expose hidden linguistic structures. The analysis of right-headed constituents in Italian pop songs (Talk 1) challenges the traditional trochaic model by showing how iambic patterns emerge under musical prominence. Simil

El pensamiento filosófico está presente, implícita o explícitamente, en la construcción, el desarrollo y la argumentación de las ciencias humanas y sociales. No son pocos los trabajos sobre filosofía en la tradición del estudio de las lenguas: la lingüística, como ciencia, participa del criterio ontológico y epistemológico en la mayor parte de los conceptos con los que opera; dentro de esta necesidad, son urgentes trabajos que estudien los fenómenos lingüísticos desde esta mirada.

Calls: Language and the Material Culture of Music (Workshop @ÖLT49) (Austria)
Call for Papers:
When linguists investigate musical culture, its discursive character is usually mostly explicated through the analysis of journalistic texts (see e.g. Bär 2024; Stöckl 2011; Thim-Mabrey 2001). This focus on finished musical works and their mediated representations, however, often obscures the creative practices and discursive dynamics ‘in the making’ beyond symbolic references – that is, language use embedded in and shaped by embodied, material interactions (cf. Peirce 1998 [

The goal of this panel is to maintain the meeting space for linguists working on ellipsis that was initiated at the LII Simposio de la SEL, held in Madrid in 2024.
