Virtually all phonological theorizing references phonological typology in some respect. For example, cross-linguistic tendencies are routinely invoked in support of claims about markedness and the constraint set. At the same time, there remain major divides in the field with respect to evidential and explanatory standards. Researchers often operate under distinct formal assumptions about levels of representation, the nature of phonological alternations, and the relationship between phonetics and

Background: We see historical phonology as the branch of linguistics which links phonology to the past in any way. Its key concerns are (i) how and why the phonology of languages changes in diachrony, and (ii) the reconstruction of past synchronic stages of languages’ phonologies. These are inextricably linked: we need to understand what the past stages of languages were in order to understand which changes have occurred, and we need to understand which kinds of changes are possible and how t

The Steering Committee of the Conference on Methods in Dialectology and Language Diversity is pleased to announce its 19th conference, Methods XIX, to be held at the University of British Columbia at Vancouver, from 4-7 August 2026.

Linguistic research and theory construction has for a long time been conducted from a very Eurocentric perspective and mainly based on intuition. This type of armchair linguistics has been rightfully criticized, but fortunately, the last decades have seen a shift to more empirically oriented methods. Naturally, these methods were initially applied to well-known languages like English and German. However, more recently, empirical methods have also been more consistently applied to understudied la

The aim of this conference is to bring together specialists in didactics, linguistics, geography, and second language acquisition, as well as teacher trainers and secondary school teachers to discuss the teaching and learning of English as a Second Language (ESL) using a CLIL approach, in geography classes more specifically. The CEFR (2001, 2018) promotes an action-oriented perspective for the teaching of foreign languages and considers learners as social actors. This approach aims to engage

Background of the Creolistics Workshop: The Creolistics Workshop series started as an initiative launched by the late Philip Baker in April 1994 with a conference at the University of Westminster, London, to provide a forum of exchange and mutual inspiration for the creolist community. The conference has since been held in London (UK), Amsterdam (NL), Giessen (D) and Aarhus (DK). After a period of inactivity, we will resume this long tradition by organising a Creolistics Workshop in Aarhus in D
