Language variation and change has been a major focus of linguistic research for decades, and empirical approaches to language variation can strongly benefit from systematic manipulation of variables. The goal of ExAPP is to gather scholars employing experimental methods to investigate linguistic variation. We welcome abstracts for posters and papers that cover aspects of variation on all linguistic levels, and the perception as well as the production thereof. These include, but are not limited t

2nd Call for Papers: Research on young second language (L2) learners, as well as young learner (inter-)language specifically, has gained increasing attention in recent years, driven by calls for greater diversity and representativeness in both Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and Learner Corpus Research (LCR). Although a growing number of learner corpora are available (Fernández & Davis, 2021), corpora representing young learner language, broadly defined, remain comparatively rare. While emp

Nearly half a century has passed since the earliest formulations of the Null Subject Parameter in generative linguistics. In that time, much has been discovered about how and when arguments may remain silent cross-linguistically, but much remains unclear. The aim of this workshop is to take stock of what has been learned, and to propose new ideas and new directions for the study of what have variously been called “null” or “unexpressed” arguments, “pro-drop”, “argument ellipsis” and more. We we

The conference invites researchers, professors, and students to submit proposals for presentations in French or English on all areas of linguistics.

Furthermore, recently, the most frequent discussion among academics and industry revolves around the danger of AI encroaching on the pr
