Confirmed Speakers: Anna Papafragou (University of Pennsylvania) Devyani Sharma (University of Oxford) Sandrine Zufferey (University of Bern) After the successful workshop Social Meaning and Grammar, which took place in Zürich in February 2026 (https://www.ds.uzh.ch/de/tagungen/social-meaning-and-grammar.html) we are now moving on to the second round. The term ‘social’ plays a central role in the acquisition and learning literature in general (e.g., in broad topics such as social cognition

This collected volume combines firmly-grounded theoretical perspectives with historical empirical data from different West Iberian languages (Portuguese, Galician, Asturleonese and Spanish) to deepen our understanding of linguistic divergence in typologically related languages. It is divided into four sections: nominal, verbal and clausal domains, negation and polarity. While varied in their theoretical approach, contributions all serve to examine different aspects of the overarching issue of

Die Zunahme extremistischer Ideologien in öffentlichen wie semi-privaten Diskursräumen stellt Gesellschaften vor erhebliche Herausforderungen. Während die Inhalte extremistischer Positionen prominent erforscht sind, bleibt ihre pragmatische Dimension – die sprachlichen Vollzüge, Interaktionsmuster und multimodalen kommunikativen Formate – ein dringliches Desiderat. Vor diesem Hintergrund fragt die ALP-Jahrestagung 2027 danach, wie extremistische Weltbilder im sprachlichen Handeln hervorgebrac

Since the start of history, human beings have proved themselves as seekers yearning for an elusive and often mysterious good that will answer our ultimate existential questions and help us find a sense of purpose in life. Folk tales, legends and myths abound in the epic and sometimes mock-heroic adventures of ordinary people and official heroes who dedicate their quest to treasures made of gold, fame or kingly power. What are the outcomes of their wanderings and brave endeavours: contentment or

Communication has never occupied such a pervasive and immediate place in human life. The rapid development and diffusion of language modeling and communication technologies has created conditions in which linguistic interactions unfold within a dense web of social settings, contextual signals, and digital platforms that continually reshape language use. These conditions underscore the need for foundational research on language use as it emerges from unprecedented levels of complexity. A centr

Each year, the French National Centre for Research CNRS launches a call for applications for permanent full-time positions in research at a junior level, usually including 3 positions in linguistics. This is highly competitive (84 candidates last year). The positions are generally advertised by mid-December, and the application needs to be submitted by early January. Short-listed candidates are interviewed between March and May, and the final results are published in July. Knowledge of French is

The Metagram seminar is a monthly seminar on questions of grammaticography and metagrammaticography. The seminar takes place the second Tuesday of each month, Feb-May and Sept-Dec, in hybrid mode. Linguists who have written significant reference grammars are invited to discuss their grammaticographical practices and experiences. They are asked to address a list of topics, covering questions such as structuring schemes, influences, use of exemplification, integration of the corpus into the gramm

I am writing to share TAPA (Toolkit for Acoustic-Phonetic Analysis), an open-source pipeline for extracting acoustic-phonetic measurements from naturalistic, multi-speaker audio. The accompanying paper has been accepted for publication in Behavior Research Methods.   Analyzing a single recording can be laborious. For researchers working with long-form audio, or without a team of trained annotators, that cost is out of reach, and current funding conditions have made the bottleneck more pronounc

This monograph examines sources of variation in the grammars of heritage speakers, focusing on word order in Turkish and Kurmanji Kurdish as heritage languages in the contexts of majority German and majority Turkish. By bringing together the relatively well-studied case of heritage Turkish and the less extensively researched case of heritage Kurdish, the study develops a comparative framework for identifying mechanisms that shape heritage grammars. It evaluates several explanatory factors, inclu
