Workshop at the 16th International Conference of the Association for Linguistic Typology Convenors: Laura Becker (University of Freiburg) & Naomi Peck (University of Freiburg) Workshop Description: The Written Bias in Typology Most languages are primarily spoken, with only a minority of languages or speaker communities developing a writing system.

Background: To what degree a given variety of human language is similar to or different from another variety has been a topic of great interest, not only to linguists but also to the general public. With the advent of big data and computational tools in language science, we can now address this perennial question in ways that were not possible or realistic before. In this proposed workshop, we will venture into the many dimensions of cross-linguistic distance, the quantifiable degree of dissi

The term “micromorphology” was coined by Stump 2017b for the hypothesis that an affix can itself be morphologically complex. Variations of this hypothesis and its uses have been investigated by Bochner 1993, Soukka 2000, Luís and Spencer 2005, and Stump 2017a, b, 2023, among others. The relevant phenomenon is illustrated for derivational suffixes in (1), see Stump 2017b for the demonstration that (1) involves a complex suffix rather than iterative addition. (1) a. whimsy → *whimsic, whimsical

The notion of finiteness involves a grouping of verb forms into two classes, finite versus nonfinite (Koptjevskaja-Tamm 1999: 147). The term itself goes back to the Latin finitus, the perfective participle of the verb finio, ‘finish, limit’ (Nikolaeva 2007: 1), illustrating the traditional view that finite verb forms are ‘limited’ by categories such as person, number, tense or mood, etc., while nonfinite verb forms (e.g., infinitive, participles, gerunds) are not marked for these categories. The

The 25th Arbeitstagung zur Gesprächsforschung (Conference on Discourse and Conversation Analysis) will take place from 25-27 March 2026 at the Leibniz Institute for the German Language (IDS) in Mannheim, Germany.

This symposium aims at bringing together researchers working on World Englishes (especially those focusing on varieties of English other than the “inner circle” varieties of the British Isles and North America) in staged and mediatized performances. While it cannot be said that such a perspective has hitherto been ignored in linguistic research (see Lee & Kachru 2006; Moody 2021), it is evident that pop cultural artifacts serving entertainment and recreational purposes, such as films and TV seri
