We aim to include 12-15 typologically-diverse languages. Due to the size of the envisaged project, it would not be feasible to apply for funding for full-time research assistants to test children (or to fund a portion of each collaborator?s salary). Instead, our intention for the grant application is that each collaborator will be able to claim up to ?50k for expenses (e.g., travel, laptops, participant payments, part-time/casual researchers), with the data to be collected by a researcher who is already primarily sponsored/employed (e.g., as PhD student, postdoc or research assistant) at your institution. We will provide computerized elicitation tasks; your role (with the help of full-time research and support staff employed at our end) would be to adapt the task for your language and inflectional system and to supervise data collection (with children aged 3-6, and adults). In particular, we are looking for languages with one or more (ideally several) of the following properties: (1) uses prefixes, infixes or some combination (rather than only suffixes) to mark tense/person/number/case, (2) has low syncretism, (3) has high flexivity, (4) uses monoexponential (or separative) morphemes rather than polyexponential (or cumulative) morphemes, (5) uses isolating or nonlinear (ablaut/tonal) morphology (as opposed to/as well as concatenative morphology), (6) has multiple gender categories beyond masculine/feminine/neuter, (7) marks aspect (with or without also marking tense), (8) has dual-number (or similar), as opposed to just singular/plural, (9) has verb agreement for OBJECTs instead of/as well as SUBJECTS, (10) uses a (split-)ergative system rather than nominative-accusative, (11) has an unusually high or low number of noun cases (as opposed to the typical 6-7), (12) has case markers that can be attached to other elements of Noun Phrases, not just nouns. Ideally, the language should also have some kind of corpus that will allow us to estimate the frequency of different inflected verb and noun forms (ideally child-directed-speech, but adult-to-adult speech is also possible); and ideally you would have some experience of running production studies with the relevant population.

These morphemes categorize referents based primarily on their physical properties such as shape or consistency. Numerous Arawakan languages exhibit a complex system of multi-loci and multifunctional classifiers. The talks during the workshop will explore these classifier systems from various perspectives, covering both the language family as a whole and specific Arawakan languages. When: Monday, 9 September 2024, 09:40-17:00 CET Where: Maison des Sciences de l?Homme, Lyon, salle Elise Rivet & online How: The one-day workshop is designed to bring together researchers who are presently working on classifier systems in the Arawakan language family and to encourage open discussions about the topic. Interested people outside of Lyon are welcome to listen to the talks and join the discussions online. Registration is free, but compulsory to receive the videoconference links.

Please visit the website at ailla.utexas.org to see it for yourself. So far half of the collections have been migrated to the new repository (all the unrestricted collections), and the rest will be migrated over the summer. The legacy site is still available under a new URL in case you are looking for a specific collection that is not yet in the new repository. You can access the legacy repository at https://ailla-legacy.lib.utexas.edu/. The user accounts were not migrated from the legacy repository, so you will need to create a new one. If you had a user account in the legacy repository, it still works for that site only. We are not yet ready to accept new deposits. If you are hoping to make a deposit this year, please contact AILLA at ailla at ailla.utexas.org to be added to the wait list. Best wishes for a fruitful and/or relaxing summer!

Salos, Lithuania* The 21st International Salos Linguistics Summer School and Conference takes a turn towards methodological topics. This year, with an eye on the synergistic link to the preceding summer school, the Salos Linguistics Conference aspires to encourage discussions on how data selection, treatment, and analysis shape linguistic research outcomes. The use of empirical data in today?s linguistics varies greatly; thus, we invite scholars from all frameworks of linguistic research to give talks on a variety of methodological questions. Moreover, in line with the traditional openness of the Salos community, we also welcome presentations that showcase results from all frameworks of linguistic research, ideally presented in light of the empirical data chosen for the study or with a reflection on how the results may have been shaped by the choice and treatment of the data. The topics for abstracts include, but are not limited to, the following themes: - methodological issues of linguistic fieldwork - issues related to data annotation - empirical database development projects and their reusability - issues of application of statistical methods for linguistic analysis - studies on little/poorly-documented languages and language varieties, such as - dialects and other non standard varieties, along with research methodologies *The deadline for submitting abstracts has been extended until May 31st.* Please apply by submitting your abstract here: https://forms.gle/zJSCU4QPPMLAyKoA9 More information can be found here: https://www.academiasalensis.org/en/conference-and-summer-school/2024-conference/ Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by June 16th. Registration for participants without a paper will begin in June.
