Call for Papers: Symposium webpage with preliminary program: https://elenlefoll.quarto.pub/textbooklanguage2025/. About the Symposium: Foreign language teaching and reference works play a crucial role in institutionalised foreign language teaching and are known to constitute an important source of learners’ foreign language (e.g., Huang 2019). However, multiple studies suggest that the language of these textbooks often differs considerably from the kind of language typically used in commu

The research project 'Fragments: Constructionalising Non-Canonical Expressions in English' at the University of Vigo (https://lvtc.uvigo.es/fragments), funded by the Spanish Research Agency (MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033; grant PID2020-117541GB-I00, PI: Javier Pérez-Guerra), is pleased to announce the release of six outreach video clips, now publicly available at https://www.youtube.com/@LVTC_uvigo/playlists

Invited speaker: Pavel Iosad (University of Edinburgh) Morphological alternations can be realized through the concatenation of affixes, or through non-concatenative processes that do not involve the addition of segmental material, such as modifications of suprasegmental features (e.g. length or tone), or the featural constituents of segments (e.g. vowel height, consonantal manner of articulation). The two nouns below, from Nuer (a West Nilotic language of South Sudan and Ethiopia), illustrate

The rapid expansion of language policy and planning over the course of the last decades has led to a breadth of concepts, phenomena, and processes vying for attention in the field. Attempts at integrating and balancing all of these priorities have led some researchers to ask, “what isn’t language policy?” (Johnson, 2012, p. 9). While the work of early scholars was “technical, oriented toward problem-solving, and pragmatic in its goals” (Ricento, 2000, p. 198), this was critiqued by later scholar

2nd Call for Papers: The question of how humans process social information is one of the biggest topics in cognitive science. This workshop addresses the topic from the perspective of linguistics and aims at breaking new ground by bringing together the two very different perspectives of sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology on the one hand and formal syntax and semantics on the other hand. Confirmed Speakers: Elin McCready (ICREA/Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) Emma Moore (Univ

Organisers: Iris Kamil, Letizia Cerqueglini Call deadline: 1 November 2025 It is by now well-established that the domains of human language rarely exist on their own: syntax, semantics, morphology, phonology, and pragmatics regularly interact with one another on what is known as the interfaces of grammar. The study of the various interfaces is vast, and several frameworks of theoretical linguistic research seek to formalize them, for instance Distributed Morphology, Halle & Marantz 199; Para

What makes literature and art the distinct kinds of entities they are? Previous attempts to prove that artworks and literary texts are formally and structurally distinguishable from other objects have been misinterpreted to mean that any distinction between art and non-art must be largely sociological. This book takes a radically new approach to this long-standing question. Shifting the focus from the artwork itself to art as a case of human agency, it sets out a groundbreaking theory of literat
