Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics

Call Deadline: 08-Oct-2025

Final Call for Papers:
The 34th edition of the Conference of the Student Organization of
Linguistics in Europe (ConSOLE) will take place on January 28-30,
2025, at IUSS Pavia (Italy).
ConSOLE is an annual conference for graduate (Master, PhD) and
advanced undergraduate (Bachelor) students of Linguistics. It aims to
provide students worldwide with the opportunity to present their
research to an international audience. More information about SOLE
(Student Organization of Linguistics in Europe), previous conferences,
as well as the ConSOLE proceedings published by the SOLE board can be
found at: https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/events/series/sole
Confirmed Invited Speakers:
- Anna Maria Di Sciullo (UQAM)
- Andrea Moro (IUSS Pavia, Scuola Normale Superiore)
- Gilliam Ramchand (Oxford)
- Vieri Samek-Lodovici (UCL)
- Marco Tettamanti (Milan Bicocca)
Submission Instructions:
For the main session, we invite abstract submissions for both oral
presentations (20-minute talk plus additional 10 minutes for questions
and discussion) and poster presentations. We welcome abstracts from a
wide range of linguistic subfields (e.g., language acquisition,
morphology, phonetics/ phonology, semantics/ pragmatics, syntax) and
methodologies (e.g., computational, experimental, fieldwork,
theoretical).
The theme of this edition of ConSOLE is movement. Movement is, in many
theoretical traditions, one of the most fundamental and far-reaching
notions in linguistics: it captures the fact that units of language
are not always interpreted where they are pronounced, nor pronounced
where they are first merged. Displacement, reordering, and shifting
can be observed at many levels of grammar, from word-internal
morphology to large-scale syntactic configurations, and in certain
phonological and semantic phenomena as well.
What makes movement so intriguing is both its pervasiveness and its
diversity. Syntactic theories account for phenomena like wh-movement,
topicalization, scrambling, or raising by invoking displacement
operations, while phonologists have described processes such as tone
shift, metathesis, and prosodic restructuring in movement-like or
reordering terms. In syntax-semantics interface research, covert
movement has been hypothesized as a way of modeling scope and binding.
Morphological systems, too, may exhibit movement-like effects, for
instance in affix placement and alignment. Finally, from a
computational perspective, movement phenomena present important
challenges for parsing algorithms and machine learning models, which
must handle non-local dependencies and long-distance relationships
between elements.
This year?s theme aims to encourage a conversation across domains. Why
is movement such a pervasive property of language? What motivates it,
and what role does it play in grammar and interpretation? Is there
unified notion of movement underlying its many manifestations, or are
we dealing with distinct mechanisms that only appear similar? How do
locality conditions, intervention effects, and interface restrictions
shape the possibilities for movement? What do typological and
experimental data tell us about the universality or variation of
movement phenomena?
ConSOLE34 will also host a Neurolinguistics Workshop (keynote speaker:
Marco Tettamanti), welcoming cutting-edge research in
neurolinguistics, language acquisition, and cognitive science,
focusing on the neural foundations and developmental trajectories
underlying language abilities, throughout the lifespan. To apply,
visit https://console34.github.io/workshop/
Travel Grants:
The organizing committee will allocate part of the conference budget
to travel grants for student presenters (both oral presentations and
posters). These grants will be assigned via an internal selection
process based on qualitative and demographic criteria to ensure fair
and equitable distribution of available funds. For more informations,
visit: https://console34.github.io/grants/
Submission Criteria (Main Session):
- Only original research that has not been published or accepted for
publication at the time of submission can be presented.
- Language for the abstracts and presentations should be English.
- One author may submit at most one abstract as sole author and one
abstract as co-author (or two co-authored abstracts).
- Authors should specify whether they would like to be considered for

Call Deadline: 26-Oct-2025

2nd Call for Papers:
As part of the Marie Sk?odowska-Curie ONISILOS COFUND project
?Gradience in Polarity Morphology and Diglossia? (GraPMoD, Agreement
No. 101034403), we are pleased to announce a two-day symposium. The
Symposium on Empirical Approaches to Meaning and Structure (SEAMS)
will take place on site at the University of Cyprus in Nicosia on
November 21?23, 2025.
SEAMS will be a hybrid event, allowing participation and attendance
from colleagues worldwide. It is designed as a forum for exchanging
ideas and advancing our understanding of how empirical research can
shed light on meaning and structure. We invite abstracts that address
any topic relevant to empirical methods of meaning and structure
across multiple language families.
Invited Speakers:
- Benjamin Spector (CNRS & ?cole Normale Sup?rieure)
- Masaya Yoshida (ICREA & Universitat Aut?noma de Barcelona)
- Spyros Armostis (University of Cyprus)
- Paolo Morosi (Universitat Aut?noma de Barcelona)
Description:
SEAMS brings together researchers who use empirical methods to
investigate structure and meaning in language, with an intended focus
on understudied or minority languages. The symposium aims to promote
the inclusion of diverse data sources that are often underrepresented
in theoretical debates. Such contributions are especially valuable for
testing the robustness of existing frameworks, uncovering new
empirical generalizations, and expanding our understanding of the
cognitive and social dimensions of language. By highlighting a broad
range of methodologies, from experimental techniques (e.g.,
eye-tracking, self-paced reading, neuroimaging, acceptability rating)
to corpus studies and computational modeling, SEAMS aims to foster
dialogue across theoretical and methodological traditions. We
encourage contributions that provide empirical insights as well as
explore how such evidence informs linguistic theory, supports
cross-linguistic comparison, and connects with related disciplines.
We welcome contributions from any linguistic subfield, including, but
not limited to, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, psycholinguistics,
neurolinguistics, corpus linguistics, historical linguistics,
typology, and computational linguistics.
Symposium language: English
Call for Submissions:
We accept submissions for oral presentations in two categories:
 - Long talks (30 minutes + 10 minutes for discussion)
 - Short talks (20 minutes + 5 minutes for discussion)
Submission Guidelines:
 - Abstracts should be no longer than 1 A4 page of text, with an
optional second page for data, figures, and references.
 - Abstract text must be single-spaced, 11pt Arial, with 1-inch (2.54
cm) margins on each side.
 - The abstract title must be in 12pt Arial, bold.
 - Submissions must be in PDF and fully anonymous (no self-identifying
information in the abstract of the PDF file metadata).
 - Abstracts must be written in English.
 - Please send your abstract in PDF format to seams2025 at ucy.ac.cy .
 - In the body of the submission email, please include: author
name(s), affiliation(s), and presentation preference (in-person or
online, long or short).

Linguistic Field(s): Morphology; Typology

Call Deadline: 31-Oct-2025

Call for Papers:
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, Lu?s 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
        b.      type ? *typic, typical
        c.      character ? *characterist, characteristic
This special workshop focuses on instances of complex affix formation
in inflection, i.e., on the situation where more than one affix is
needed to create a particular form inside a paradigm and the
properties of the derived form are such that a micromorphological
account seems preferable. Cases of this type have not so far attracted
sufficient attention where it comes to inflection, and our workshop
aims to fill this gap.
We welcome abstracts dealing with the following issues:
 - Case studies of micromorphology in inflection, including
suprasegmental morphemes and circumfixes
 - Functional and diachronic motivations of micromorphology
 - Evidence for/against micromorphological analyses of specific
phenomena
 - Resolution of conceptual issues arising from non-simplex
inflectional morphology
The workshop is not restricted to any specific theoretical framework.
Abstract Submission:
The workshop forms part of the 22nd International Morphology Meeting
to be held in Budapest, May 28?31, 2026. Every talk will be allotted
30 minutes in total (20 minutes talk + 10 minutes discussion).
Submissions are limited to a maximum of one individual and one joint
abstract per author or two joint abstracts per author, and this
constraint includes submission to the main session and other
workshops. Abstracts should be anonymous, written in English and not
exceed 2 A4 pages (Times New Roman, 12pt font, single line spacing,
2.5-inch margins).
Please send your submission to Ora Matushansky,
ora.matushansky at cnrs.fr, by October 31, 2025. Notification will be
provided in December 2025.

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics

Call Deadline: 06-Oct-2025

Call for Papers:
SciProdLLM 2025 is a forum for presenting and discussing research on
integrating large language models (LLMs) into the typical research
workflow: from ideation to experimentation to scientific writing, with
a particular focus on human-centered approaches that ensure ethical
and responsible use of LLMs. We also invite work that evaluates the
quality of LLM-assisted research workflows and the resulting outputs.
We welcome submissions on any aspect of human-LLM collaboration for
science production, evaluation of LLMs for science production, and/or
evaluation of LLM-assisted scientific papers. Relevant topics include,
but are not limited to, the following:
 - Guiding idea generation through user feedback
 - Automated experimentation following the experimental workflow used
by human scientists (e.g., the workflow from data preprocessing to
comparison to baselines)
 - Human-curated datasets of scientific papers for fine-tuning LLMs
for generating ideas and paper content (text, figures, tables, etc.)
 - Human-LLM co-authored peer reviews (e.g., LLM-assisted peer review
platforms)
 - Benchmark datasets for evaluating LLMs on idea generation,
experimentation, multimodal content generation, or scientific writing
 - Evaluation metrics for detecting problematic papers (e.g., those
containing suspicious citations or tortured phrases)
 - Statistical analyses of collections of LLM-assisted papers (e.g.,
on topics, citations, or retractions)
Submission Instructions:
SciProdLLM 2025 welcomes long and short papers. Long papers may
consist of up to 8 pages of content, plus unlimited pages of
references. Short papers may consist of up to 4 pages of content, plus
unlimited pages of references. Both types of submissions must follow
the same requirements and procedures as for IJCNLP-AACL 2025 main
conference papers:
https://2025.aaclnet.org/calls/main_conference_papers
Note that papers submitted as non-archival will be allocated
presentation time at the workshop but will not be included in the
proceedings.
There are three supported submission modes:
- Direct submissions: Direct submissions will receive up to three
double-blind reviews, and a final decision on acceptance from the
workshop organizers.  Direct submissions should be made through the

From: Peter Cyrus [pcyrus at musa.bet]
Subject: Ease of Acquisition: Comparing Musa to the IPA


The Musa Academy is offering to sponsor a study comparing the ease of
learning the Musa Alphabet to learning the IPA.
The Musa Academy is a Public Benefit Corporation dedicated to the
development and promotion of a Universal Alphabet.  You can read all
about the Musa Alphabet at www.musa.bet.  One particular use of Musa
is to transcribe pronunciation, for example in dictionaries, reference
material, educational material, phrase books and tourist guides, maps
and signs, in the press, and even in academic linguistics.  In that
role, which we call the Universal Phonetic Alphabet, it?s described at
www.upa.bet.
Musa offers several advantages over the IPA, but the most important is
how easy it is to learn, to remember, and to use.  The difficulty of
the IPA is its fatal flaw, the reason it?s not more widely used.
Since Musa is completely featural and somewhat iconic, it?s much
easier.  But how much, exactly?  We don?t know, and we?d like to find
out.
The proposed study should focus on the simplest and most important
task of a UPA: to guide unprepared readers to a correct pronunciation
of names, words, and short phrases, both in English (e.g. comfortable,
hyperbole, anemone) and in foreign languages (e.g. Reims, M?nchen,
Gij?n, Kyiv, Gu?zh?u).  Because learning material for both the IPA and
Musa is most available in English, it?s OK for the study to be
restricted  to English speakers, both native and L2.
The main challenges in designing such a study are measuring the
quality of the subjects? pronunciations, choosing how the two
alphabets are learned, and measuring the effort involved.  If you have
good ideas on how those challenges can be handled, you?re a good
candidate to conduct this study.
Your proposal should include methodology, budget, and schedule, and
should plan to include subjects from a variety of backgrounds.  You
will retain all rights to publish.  Of course, the Musa Academy will
furnish all the Musa resources you need.

From: Karin Plijnaar [karin.plijnaar at benjamins.nl]
Subject: Editorial change JB journal LangCT


Language, Context and Text: The Social Semiotics Forum welcomes new
co-Editor Akila Sellami Baklouti (University of Sfax, Tunisia) as the
successor of Geoff Williams (University of British Columbia, Canada)
who is stepping down. Geoff founded the journal together with Xuanwei
Peng, and his involvement to date has been instrumental in getting the
journal established; we owe him a great debt of gratitude.
Akila will join the editorial team that continues to consist of
co-Editor Xingwei Miao (Beijing Normal University, China), Associate
Editor He Huang (Beijing Normal University, China), and Review Editor
Derek Irwin (University of Nottingham Ningbo, China).
LangCT is an international, refereed journal with a focus on the use,
critique and development of social semiotics as originally proposed by
the British linguist M.A.K. Halliday. It is dedicated to new
theoretical and empirical work in systemic functional linguistics
(SFL) concerning any language. Additionally, there is a deep interest
in studies of other modalities that use a social semiotic approach and
are directly related to SFL. Social semiotic studies of inter-modal
relations between language and other meaning systems are of particular
interest, as are transdisciplinary studies in which language use plays
a key role. The journal encourages the presentation and critique of
new theoretical proposals through careful scholarly analysis, testing
of the implications of proposals and presentation of alternative
viewpoints broadly within the SFL framework.

Call Deadline: 31-Dec-2025

Taiwan Journal of TESOL calls for submissions to a special issue with
the theme "Global Englishes and Generative AI: Opportunities and
Challenges for TESOL Teacher Education"
Guest Editors:
Yeu-Ting Liu, National Taiwan Normal University, Taiwan
yeutingliu at gapps.ntnu.edu.tw
Keith M. Graham, National Taiwan Normal University, Taiwan

Please find the full call for papers for the special issue here:
https://www.tjtesol.org/index.php/news/501-call-for-paper-for-the-special-issue-spring-2027.html
Objectives and Focus:
This special issue will:
- examine the integration of Global Englishes Language Teaching (GELT)
perspectives with GenAI frameworks in preservice teacher preparation
programs
- investigate how teacher educators are preparing preservice teachers
to critically evaluate and integrate GenAI tools through a
GELT-informed glocalized lens, considering both opportunities for
curriculum innovation and potential risks such as bias or loss of
teacher agency
- highlight innovative approaches to incorporating glocalization
within teacher education curriculum for using technology in language
teaching
- highlight innovative approaches that show how GELT actively
contributes to glocalized curriculum design and how GenAI can either
facilitate or hinder these processes
Potential Topics:
We invite submissions on topics such as
- strategies for teaching ethical and critical GenAI use in GELT
lesson planning and instruction
- approaches to leveraging GenAI for GELT-driven curriculum innovation
(e.g., adapting global ELT resources to local contexts, designing
multilingual and culturally responsive materials, supporting inclusive
practices)
- approaches to examining GenAI as a barrier to GELT (e.g.,
reinforcing ?standard English? norms, algorithmic bias, constraining
teacher agency)
- assessment strategies for evaluating preservice teachers? GELT and
GenAI competencies
Proposal Submission:
Abstract Submission Deadline: December 31, 2025
Prospective authors should submit an abstract that includes the
following:

15th Historical Sociolinguistics Network Conference
Short Title: HiSoN 2026
Theme: Spoken and written discourse in historical sources

Date: 28-Sep-2026 - 30-Sep-2026
Location: Salzburg, Austria

Linguistics; Pragmatics; Sociolinguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics

Submission Deadline: 15-Dec-2025

The 15th Historical Sociolinguistics Network (HiSoN) Conference will
take place at the University of Salzburg (Austria) from 28 ? 30
September 2026.
Confirmed plenary speakers are:
Prof Joseph Salmons (University of Wisconsin, Madison, US)
Prof Micha? G?uszkowski (Toru? University, Poland)
Prof Sybille Gro?e (Heidelberg University, Germany)
The 2026 conference theme is "Spoken and written discourse in
historical sources".
Historical sociolinguistics naturally draws its data mainly from
sources that have been transmitted in handwriting or print.
Nevertheless, since its very beginning, historical sociolinguistics
has been concerned with reconstructing and investigating not only
written but also spoken discourse (cf. Schneider 2013). This is
achieved by taking into account historical sources that, for various
reasons, are characterised by a particular proximity to spoken
language, be they speech-based (e.g. interrogation records, minutes of
parliamentary sessions), speech-purposed (e.g. sermons, drama texts)
or speech-like sources (e.g. private correspondence, diaries) (cf.
Culpeper & Kyt? 2010).
At the same time, written sources lacking a close link with spoken
language, and especially printed texts, have long been recognised as
crucial for standardisation processes, a key topic in historical
sociolinguistics, and can be shown to evince forms of change unrelated
to change in spoken language. When investigating language variation
and change in the past, it has proven useful for historical
sociolinguistics to abstract away from the binary distinction between
written and spoken code and to focus on the positioning of historical
sources on a conceptual continuum between informality and formality or
between ?language of immediacy? and ?language of distance? (Koch &
Oesterreicher 1985/2012).
This broadening of perspective has also led to an appreciation of
formerly neglected or even ignored historical sources for research
into fields such as historical language variation and change,
sociolinguistics, sociopragmatics, social dialectology, or discourse
analysis. In addition, historical sociolinguistics benefits from
advances in computer technology, which facilitate the creation,
annotation and (partially) automated analysis of new text corpora ? be
they oriented towards linguistic or metalinguistic evidence. There has
probably never been a better time to explore the entire spectrum of
spoken and written discourse in historical sources. We therefore
invite proposals on this theme.
Topics that fall within the scope of this theme include but are not
limited to:
 - Orality and writtenness / language of immediacy and language of
distance
 - Informal and formal texts from the past
 - Speech-based, speech-purposed and speech-like historical sources
 - Standardisation of spoken and written language
 - Language history from above and from below
 - Historical pragmatics and discourse analysis
 - Historical text types, registers, genres and domains
 - Discourse traditions
 - Formulaic language
 - Metalinguistic discourse(s)
 - Positioning, indexicality, enregisterment
 - Multilingualism and code-switching
 - Multimodality
 - Methodological advances (corpus building, transcription of
historical sources, (semi-)automated analyses etc.)
 - Experienced and inexperienced writers in language history
All papers need to include historical as well as sociolinguistic
aspects. We welcome abstracts for two different formats (individual
papers and thematic panels):
Individual papers are formal presentations on original research by one
or more authors, who will be allotted 30-minute slots at the
conference (20 minutes for presentation plus 10 minutes for
discussion). Abstracts for individual paper presentations must not
exceed 500 words (incl. title and references).
Thematic panels, roundtables or workshops should follow the 30-minute
structure of the conference. We strongly prefer shorter, focused
events (e.g. an introductory paper, 3?4 papers by different
contributors, and a final discussion). Panel convenors are expected to
invite contributors and discussants in advance and submit one full
proposal. This proposal includes the overall aims and rationale of the
event (max. 500 words) as well as the names, affiliations, and short
abstracts of 200?300 words for each contribution (incl. introductory
paper and/or final discussion). Please note that panel convenors take
active responsibility for the quality of all contributions and are
expected to guide their invited participants through the formal
process as well as to chair the panel.
Abstract Submission:
Abstracts should be submitted through EasyAbs maintained by the
LINGUIST List. Please ensure that the abstract is properly anonymised
in order to allow for blind review.
The call opens on 1 October 2025.
Please submit your abstract by 15 December 2025.
Notification of acceptance by 15 March 2026.

Date: 02-Sep-2026 - 05-Sep-2026
Location: Innsbruck, Austria
Meeting URL:
https://www.uibk.ac.at/de/congress/kontrastivelinguistik2026/

Linguistic Field(s): Morphology; Phonology; Pragmatics; Semantics;
Text/Corpus Linguistics

Submission Deadline: 31-Jan-2026

In 2008, the Departments of Romance Studies and of Translation and
Interpreting at the University of Innsbruck assumed responsibility for
this series of conferences, originally founded in 1987 by Professor
Gerd Wotjak in Leipzig. It is one of the few international events
dedicated entirely to contrastive linguistics. As in previous
editions, papers may address both theoretical and applied aspects of
contrastive linguistics between Romance languages and German, as well
as between different Romance languages. Contributions focusing on
contrasts between Romance languages and other languages are also
welcome. We invite all interested scholars to submit proposals for one
of the following panels (submissions on other relevant topics will
also be considered):
1. Contrastive morphology, syntax and onomastics
2. Contrastive lexicology, semantics and phraseology
3. Contrastive text and discourse linguistics, pragmatics and
conversation analysis
4. Contrastive phonetics/phonology, sociolinguistics and variational
linguistics
5. Contrastive applications in translation and interpreting, and in
language teaching
The conference languages are German and all Romance languages.
The submission of abstracts (in the language of the presentation; up
to 300 words + max. 5 bibliographical references), and the
registration are carried out via our ConfTool:
https://www.conftool.com/kontrastivelinguistik2026
Our website:

Author(s): Javier E. D?az-Vera

Reviewer: Heli Tissari

SUMMARY
As the title of the book indicates, D?az-Vera is not only interested
in the lexical semantics of positive emotions in Old English, but in
how speakers of Old English experienced and understood positive
emotions and how their experience and understanding of them changed in
the course of time. This can be nicely summarized in D?az-Vera?s own
words; he says that he combines ?methods from historical linguistics
and cultural psychology? (p. 290). He promotes his research by
claiming that ?positive emotions are understudied and in dire need of
systematic attention? (p. 26).
In the brief introduction to the book, D?az-Vera presents his three
main objectives. The first one is to ?reconstruct the various ways in
which Anglo-Saxon authors discussed positive emotions? (p. 2). As
regards this objective, D?az-Vera emphasizes that he is interested in
?semantic variation and change? (p. 2). The second objective is to
investigate how people thought about emotions and how they thought
about the relationships between various emotions. In this context,
D?az-Vera talks about ?folk conceptualizations? (p. 2), which reminds
me of the terms ?folk model? (K?vecses 1990: 17) and ?folk theories of
emotion? (K?vecses 2000: 114?138). The third objective is to shed
light on changes in Old English speakers? experiences of positive
emotions.
The actual research questions are introduced in the first chapter (p.
22):
?1. How was the Old English vocabulary for positive emotions
developed? What emotion concepts were considered more relevant for
communication?
2. What was the role of figurativeness (metaphor and metonymy) and
embodiment in the development of this set of expressions for positive
emotions?
3. What motifs were preferred by Anglo-Saxon authors to conceptualize
figuratively these positive emotions?
4. Do these conceptual preferences reflect concrete aspects of
Anglo-Saxon psychology and society??
To answer the first research question, D?az-Vera looks at dictionaries
of Old English and compiles lists of words used for positive emotions.
He emphasizes that this is an onomasiological approach. In other
words, he studies all the lexical items that refer to positive
emotions in Old English.
To answer the second research question, D?az-Vera groups the lexical
items according to what he calls ?etymological themes? (p. 9). He
categorises the items into literal and figurative. In Chapter One, he
paves the way for our understanding of the role of embodiment in the
birth of relevant lexical items by giving examples of what kind of
Proto-Indo-European roots developed meanings related to emotions. One
such root is *bhlei- ?to shine, glitter? that gave rise to words
denoting joy (p. 11). He explains that a person experiencing joy may
attest physical changes which suggest the conceptual domain of LIGHT.
To continue with the third research question, D?az-Vera studies the
lexical items in context to identify conceptual metaphors. As to the
fourth research question, he considers ?predominant beliefs regarding
positive emotions according to the various theories of the mind that
coexisted in Anglo-Saxon England? (p. 46). He illustrates this
approach in chapter three by discussing ten emotion expressions from
the Thesaurus of Old English that are categorised under ?08.01.01.01
Ardour, fervour, strong feeling?. He gives examples of such words in
context and explains how they relate to what he calls ?cardiocentric
imagery?, that is, the idea that emotions are located in the heart or,
more generally, in the breast. Interestingly, his investigation
suggests that positive emotions such as pride, interest, and joy could
become too intense and thus uncomfortable, even leading to negative
emotions. The only exception is Christian love, whose intensity can
grow without such limitations.
To return to Chapter One, D?az-Vera also discusses previous research
and arrives at the decision to also consider his data in terms of the
Geneva Emotion Wheel (version 3.0, henceforth GEW) introduced by
Scherer (2005; see also Scherer, Schuman, Fontaine & Soriano 2013).
D?az-Vera explains that the GEW classifies emotions according to the
dimensions of intensity, ?[v]alence or agreeableness of the
situation?, and ?[i]nfluence/control over the situation? (p. 23). He
returns to this theme in Chapter Five, where he discusses what he
calls ?clusters of meaning?, based on the ?motifs suggested by the
metonymies, synaesthesias, and metaphors? (p. 242) that he discusses
in connection with the lexical items in Chapter Four. I will return to
this. To conclude my summary of Chapter One, D?az-Vera also discusses
the nonverbal expression of positive emotions there, such as ?fast
speech rate?, ?large smile?, and ?upwards bodily movements? for joy
(p. 30).
In the second chapter, D?az-Vera explains his choice of data. He
explains that he has ?created [his] own annotated version of the
Dictionary of Old English Corpus? (p. 32). The idea behind this is to
cover as much data as possible. He then explains how he has identified
and classified positive emotions. In brief, his classification is
based on the ?ten positive emotion families proposed by the authors of
the GEW? (p. 33) on the one hand, and on Old English Dictionaries,
including the Thesaurus of Old English, on the other hand. He
dedicates several pages in the chapter to illustrating that this was
not a simple task. Of special interest to metaphor scholars is
D?az-Vera?s Table 8, ?Overall semantic classification of emotion
expressions based on source domains? (p. 40), where he summarizes his
understanding of the continuum from literal to metonymic to
metaphorical meanings. Chapter Two ends with sections on ?Corpus
annotation and markup? and ?The search process?, specifying what kind
of things D?az-Vera could search for in the corpus with the help of
corpus analysis software.
I have already mentioned Chapter Three, which discusses ?Rivalling
cultural models for positive emotions in Old English texts?. Here,
D?az-Vera returns to ?folk conceptualizations? (p. 2), which he now
calls ?folk models? and compares with scientific knowledge. He writes,
above all, about the humoral theory and about the idea that emotions
can be experienced as heat inside the body.
Chapter Four, ?The expression of positive emotions in Old English?
(pp. 66?241), forms the bulk of the book. There, D?az-Vera discusses
each of the emotion families in turn: INTEREST, AMUSEMENT, PRIDE, JOY,
SENSORY PLEASURE, CONTENTMENT, LOVE, ADMIRATION, RELIEF, and
COMPASSION. Instead of discussing the families in alphabetical order,
he follows the GEW clockwise, beginning from the ?emotion family with
the highest subjective degree of control and power by the subject
affected by this emotion, i.e. interest? (p. 66). He first introduces
interest by defining what it is and discussing what kind of nonverbal
behaviour it goes together with. He then introduces the
?lexico-semantic structure of OE INTEREST?, which means that he tells
the readers how he has identified the relevant lexical items and where
they come from. He continues by discussing two distinct kinds of
interest, ?positive and negative interest?, underlining that in Old
English times, ?eagerness for knowledge? could be seen as an
?intellectual vice? (p. 69). Thereafter, he treats ?OE metaphors of
interest? such as the idea that ?this emotion was conceptualized as A
PHYSICAL FORCE by some Anglo-Saxon poets? (p. 71). Before rounding up
with a discussion, he deals with what he calls ?Minor interest
expressions?, such as the word ?carfulnes? that ?is used to gloss L
curiositas ?curiosity? in a list of sins recorded in a form of
confession? (p. 73). In the discussion section, he summarizes ?Literal
and figurative expressions for INTEREST in the Old English corpus?
(table 10, p. 74). He concludes that although there is little data on
INTEREST in Old English, the results are of value.
To give another example, D?az-Vera begins his discussion of OE PRIDE
by defining it and relating it to the GEW: ?Pride is considered an
emotion with a relatively high level of control by the individual
affected by this emotion; however, pride is less controllable than
interest and amusement.? (P. 86.) He then considers the evolutionary
origins of pride and goes on to discuss its nonverbal and verbal
expressions. In the next section, he discusses how pride is presented
in the Thesaurus of Old English and quite rightly points out that OE
PRIDE has been studied by Fabiszak and Hebda (2010). Quoting their
research, he presents Table 12, which lists ?[c]auses, [behavioural]
reactions and consequences of pride in Old English religious and
non-religious texts? (p. 89). He then dedicates around ten pages to
the ?lexico-semantic structure of OE PRIDE? (pp. 89?100), discussing
various lexical items referring to pride, their numbers of
occurrences, their etymologies, and their meanings in context. After
that, he focuses on the literal pride expressions ?ofermod?, ?gylp?,
?oferhygd?, ?wlanc?, and ?pryd?. He concludes that they have a
?relatively wide semantic scope? and that, although ?most of them?
have negative connotations, a ?more positive conception of pride
survives in non-religious texts and, especially, in epic poetry? (p.
105). Moreover, he deals with the triggers of pride (e.g. good looks),
behavioural reactions to pride (e.g. bragging), and metaphors and
symbols of pride (e.g. PRIDE IS SWELLING). Lastly, he provides his
readers with a discussion section which summarizes his findings and
relates them to previous research. He concludes that this analysis
?confirms the strong preference for literal emotion expressions, and
the relative importance of metonymy, rather than metaphor, in terms of
the understanding of this emotional experience? (p. 117).
In Chapter Five, D?az-Vera combines the linguistic research presented
in Chapter Four with the GEW and with previous research by Uchida and
Kitayama (2009). Based on the motifs that he has identified in his
linguistic data, he identifies six ?meaning clusters? that are:
positive hedonic experience, negative hedonic experience, personal
achievement, social harmony, transcendental reappraisal, and social
disruption (see table 24 on p. 243). He discusses each of these
meaning clusters separately, providing his readers with six figures
which show which percent of the cluster is contained by which emotion
family. For example, AMUSEMENT covers more of the cluster ?positive
hedonic experience? than any other emotion family (19.32%), while
SENSORY PLEASURE (18.33%) and JOY (17.24%) closely follow it.
INTEREST, on the other hand, is the emotion family that covers least
of the cluster ?positive hedonic experience? (0%). (Figure 2 on p.
247.)
As regards ?positive hedonic experience?, D?az-Vera points out, among
other things, that the experience can be either bodily or mental.
Similarly, when he discusses ?personal achievement?, he points out
that people could have plenty of either ?material? or ?spiritual
goods? (p. 253). ?Negative hedonic experience? plays a small role in
the conceptualization of positive emotions but can be of interest. One
relevant emotion in this regard is compassion, which yields such
motifs as PITY, MENTAL PAIN, PHYSICAL PAIN, and LAMENT (p. 249).
The cluster ?transcendental reappraisal? may not be very translucent.
D?az-Vera characterizes it as follows (p. 259): ?[T]he perceiver takes
into consideration different strategies of regulation of the emotional
experience, aimed at rethinking, hiding, or suppressing it.? Quite
fittingly, D?az-Vera discusses this cluster after ?Social harmony? and
before ?Social disruption?. The main source domains in ?Social
harmony? are KINDNESS, GRATITUDE, LOYALTY, and KINSHIP AND FRIENDSHIP
(p. 255). The emotions that can give rise to ?Social disruption?
include INTEREST (86.7%), SENSORY PLEASURE (6.49%), AMUSEMENT (3.39%),
and CONTENTMENT (2.46%) (p. 264). D?az-Vera concludes Chapter Five by
suggesting that speakers of Old English mainly understood positive
emotions as experiences that were rewarding ?either for the
individual? or ?for the entire social group? (p. 267).
In Chapter Six, he proceeds to further conclusions. An interesting
conclusion is that JOY is the ?most prototypical member of the Old
English category of positive emotions? (p. 271). D?az-Vera indeed goes
as far as to suggest that LOVE should be understood as a member of
this more general category. As regards figurative language, D?az-Vera
suggests that speakers of Old English used more literal than
figurative expressions for positive emotions. However, he also
dedicates some space to discussing the role of metonymy in the
creation of lexical items for new categories such as contentment,
relief, and compassion. He then returns to the role of intrapersonal
versus interpersonal aspects of emotions, making important
generalisations. For example, he claims that ?shared entertainment
[was] considered more hedonically pleasing than --- individual
activities guided by one?s curiosity? (p. 280) and that Old English
speakers valued virtue and ?foster[ed] an optimistic outlook towards
the future? (p. 281). Lastly in Chapter Six, D?az-Vera considers
?Conceptual variation across textual genres, individual authors, and
communities?, underlining, for example, ?lfric?s role in introducing
new ideas about emotions.
The book closes with ?Concluding remarks? where D?az-Vera emphasizes
the ?tension between the Germanic and the Christian systems of
attitudes, beliefs, values, and behaviours? (p. 289) and returns to
JOY as a central category of positive emotions. Moreover, he presents
ideas for further research, such as the idea that one could apply the
same methodology to studying Middle English. The book also includes a
lengthy list of references (pp. 293?307) and an index (pp. 309?314).
EVALUATION
I am not entirely certain whether positive emotions are in more need
of study than negative emotions. Above all, there is plenty of
research in positive psychology. Eleven years ago, Tugade, Shiota, and
Kirby noted that ?psychological research on positive emotions has
burgeoned within the past 20 years? (2014: 1). While I was writing
this review, I noticed the publication of a new book titled ?Positive
emotions? (Fredrickson 2025). However, I agree that positive emotions
are an important topic for study,  because, for example, they ?promote
resilience? (Fredrickson 2025: 1), and it is excellent that linguists
are contributing to this topic.
While D?az-Vera?s book makes very interesting reading, I had some
difficulties following the argument. For example, it took me some time
to realize that D?az-Vera based the clusters of meaning on Uchida and
Kitayama?s work (2009). While Uchida and Kitayama (2009) are credited
for their work in the beginning of the book (pp. 15, 17?18), several
other authors are also discussed, so that I was at first not able to
see what was most central to the development of D?az-Vera?s own
method. I would have liked to read more about why he arrived at this
choice.
To give another example, on page 19 D?az-Vera introduces what he calls
?three structural levels? of analysis: ?(i) lexemes > expressions;
(ii) expressions > source domains; and (iii) source domains > meaning
clusters.? This division is central to his analysis, but it was
difficult for me to relate it to the research questions since these
were only introduced later. Also, a separate chapter was dedicated to
annotating the corpus, but there was no explicit mention of ?three
structural levels? there. Instead, the chapter delves, among other
things, into detail concerning the tagging of the data that is not
explicitly revisited anywhere in the book.
In brief, I would say that D?az-Vera could have been even clearer
about the main choices he made and perhaps downplayed some other
detail. However, my general impression of the book is that it is
balanced and well-written.
There is no doubt that D?az-Vera?s book is the result of much hard
work. D?az-Vera himself talks about a ?decade of research? (p. VII).
Based solely on the amount of data D?az-Vera has covered, it can be
said that the book has plenty of value. It also has value because it
is a systematic overview of positive emotions in Old English. It is a
repository of knowledge; anyone interested in any positive emotion in
Old English should use it as a reference work. I am now especially
referring to Chapter Four, which I have covered rather superficially,
and the fact that it discusses ten emotion families in detail. As
someone interested in the language of emotions, I especially
appreciate the inclusion of not only JOY, LOVE and PRIDE in the book,
but also such lesser studied historical emotions as INTEREST, SENSORY
PLEASURE, and RELIEF. As D?az-Vera suggests, the book sets an example
of what could be done with another historical variety of English.
It can also be said that D?az-Vera achieves a synthesis in the book,
in Chapters Five and Six. He is able to successfully combine his
linguistic analysis with psychological models. He can explain not only
what kind of expressions Old English speakers used about positive
emotions but also how they thought about and evaluated positive
emotions. This achievement is relevant not only to medieval scholars
but also to  scholars of emotion more generally, and especially to the
comparison of languages and cultures.

ABOUT THE REVIEWER
Dr. Heli Tissari teaches English linguistics at Ume? University in
Sweden. She is interested in the language of emotion and, in
particular, words and metaphors for emotions, as well as other
expressions with words for emotions (such as ?I fear that?). At the
time she was writing this review, she was also teaching a course on
words and metaphors for emotions in English. Her latest publication
was a joint article on affect expressions occurring in people?s
written stories about the music of video games.

2nd Call for Papers:
Submission Deadline Extended to 1st November 2025
The 8th International Conference on Ecolinguistics will take place
from 9th to 11th July?2026 in Rennes, France. We want to discuss and
practice approaches to the ecolinguistic commitment for sustainable
futures and ecojustice with a special focus on multilingual and
multisensory encounters. ICE 8 aims to provide a dynamic and
stimulating space for sharing ecolinguistic research and practices.
Ecolinguistics, a discipline first consolidated in the 1990s and a
research field which has been rapidly expanding in the last ten years,
takes special interest in language and ecology, with a particular
attention to the interconnections between language and natural
ecology. However, terms such as language, nature, or ecology have
different connotations for researchers and schools of thought. By
exploring the role of language in the life sustaining interactions of
humans, other species and the physical environment, ecolinguists
question boundaries and definitions of and between language and
non-language, humans and non-humans, or humans and environment.
Moving beyond traditional sociolinguistic concerns that have tended to
use ecology as a metaphor for theorizing language contact and change,
ecolinguists investigate how human linguistic activity impacts the
wider ecological relationships of interdependence that human beings
inhabit and depend on for their well-being and survival (Steffensen
2024). This ?inclusive? (Cornips 2019) perspective of ecolinguistics
calls for approaches to language research that reconceptualize
language, not as an anthropocentric capacity that separates humans
from the more-than-human world, but as an earthly practice that
entangles human beings with other species and ecosystems we share the
planet with in myriad ways. This work is important as ever as we find
ourselves living through what environmental scientists describe as a
?polycrisis? involving a nexus of escalating ecological catastrophes
brought about by extractive and exploitative modes of human relations
with the earth. Recognizing the immensity of the environmental
challenges we face today, ecolinguists are shedding light on the
diversity of linguistic practices that shape human interactions with
natural ecologies. These include relationships of control and
commodification as well as of care and flourishing cohabitation. While
early work focused primarily on critical analyses of environmental
texts, contemporary ecolinguistics has expanded to include:
 - Studies of how multisensory and embodied discourse mediates
real-world encounters between human and non-human actors;
 - Explorations of how emerging ecomedia and digital linguistic
practices make beneficial ecological actions, identities and
communities more or less possible;
 - Posthumanist and post-anthropocentric approaches to linguistics
that investigate language itself as an ecological phenomenon
co-constituted through diverse human relationships with other species
and places;
 - Decolonial and Southern approaches in ecolinguistics that examine
how local and Indigenous languaging practices work outside of dominant
colonial language ideologies that have historically served to sever
human relations from the wider ecological contexts they depend on.
 - Cognitive perspectives that view language, not as a bounded entity
located inside the head, but as a distributed activity that only
emerges from the dynamic interactions among human and non-human
bodies, minds, and their shared ecological contexts.
By bringing these various theoretical and methodological approaches
into conversation, ICE 8 aims to explore how different
conceptualizations of the language-ecology relationship can inform
both scholarly understanding and practical responses to contemporary
environmental challenges. We particularly welcome contributions that:
 - Bridge traditional discourse analytic approaches in ecolinguistics
with newer theoretical frameworks including multisensorial, material,
embodied, posthumanist and digital approaches
 - Study how language mediates situated human interactions with other
species and ecosystems
 - Investigate how decolonial and Southern environmental knowledge and
values manifest in speaking and listening practices, and consider
Indigenous and non-Western theoretical perspectives on language and
discourse
 - Explore interdisciplinary approaches combining linguistic analysis
with insights from environmental sciences, anthropology, cognitive
science, and other relevant fields
 - Examine historical and contemporary discourses in promoting
environmental awareness and activism
 - Analyze the role of language ideologies in challenging or
reinforcing destructive human relationships with nature
 - Develop new theoretical and methodological frameworks for
understanding language-ecology relationships.
The conference will bring into conversation and joint practice
ecolinguistic approaches fostering diversity, including language
diversity and bio-cultural diversity. The conference aims to be
multilingual, multimodal, and multisensory. Therefore, the organising
committee is dedicated to two guiding principles. First, we plan a
creative and active conference. This means adding discussion time,
workshops, artistic performances, and excursions alongside more
classic presentation formats. Second, our aim is to make ICE?8 a truly
multilingual conference, so we will experiment with translation and
interpretation. We are particularly looking forward to receiving
contributions in marginalised languages in academia, including
regional languages and minority languages. Further, we encourage
contributions that are well-grounded in ecological issues and
questions.
During ICE 8, we are also interested in imagining answers to the
following questions and discussing the following subjects, either in
the form of individual presentations, workshops, dialogue, or artistic
contributions:
 - How can we enable perspectives for action and positive change in
our contemporary world?
 - How can we move past eco-anxiety to climate hope?
 - How can we introduce new stories of development?
 - How can we enable the participation in ecolinguistic research of
those not included in academia (children, elderly, non-humans)?
 - What role can we attribute to AI and new digital technologies in
establishing new stories and positive change?
 - How can we de-center accounts of ecolinguistics from different
regions and language-backgrounds?
 - What place could we assign to multispecies communication and
multispecies ethnography in ecolinguistics?
 - How do environmental activists, scientists and ecolinguists work
together?
 - How can language policies rely on or include ecolinguistic
principles to foster multilingualism and a knowledge of the
environment that would help protect it?
 - How does or can language (re)shape social-ecological?power
relations?
 - How does the concept of eco-translation (as defined in Cronin,
2017) travel and make a contribution to theories and practices of
translation that can induce ecological thoughts and behaviours?
 - How should we teach ecolinguistics and/or include ecolinguistics in
the teaching of other subjects?
Multilingual Conference Approach:
As it may be relevant to show that we can both make a plea for
multilingualism and experience it ourselves, the double objective of
the following suggestions is having the participants in the conference
hear languages other than French and English, and also ensuring
inter-comprehension between the largest possible number of
participants. We suggest therefore several means of making the
conference truly multilingual to authors and moderators:
Depending on available interpreters or facilitators, organisation,
budget, and declared wishes of attendants:
We may offer workshops in French and English.
Some discussions or workshops could take place in one language and be
reported to the rest of the participants in French or English.
We will offer on-site or remote interpretation for some paper
presentation sessions or individual talks. In such cases,
presentations and/or any preparation document should be sent in
advance to the organisers for interpreters (the deadline will be
communicated when the submissions to be interpreted are accepted by
the scientific committee).
If the latter possibility proves too difficult or expensive to offer
for some languages or if they find it more convenient, authors
themselves could make their talk multilingual in several ways:
Flipped conference: You could decide to record your talk before the
conference, in English, French, German, Italian or Spanish, and send
the video before 19th?December?2025, so that it could be subtitled
into French and/or English, perhaps German, Italian and/or Spanish, by
students of the Master?s Degree in Translation and Interpretation of
Rennes?2 University. Authors of such videos commit themselves 1)?to
limit the duration of their video to 15?min., 2)?to send the script of
their video through the website of the conference to make subtitling
easier; 3)?to be available for an exchange with participants during
the conference in July 2026, either on site or online.
Own interpreter: You can come with your own interpreter, who will
interpret consecutively (more or less long parts of the discourse)
into French or English for the audience. You should then announce it
in your paper proposal, and the programme would provide more time for
such presentations.
Multilingual presentations: You can offer conferences in one language
with a slide presentation in another, and even change these languages
at one point in the presentation.
Possibilities of being active during the conference:
The organisers invite participants with and without their own
contribution. All participants are invited to join one or several
workshops. Workshop topics could include:
Co-creative Restorying Practices
Climate Hope
What do we want to eat in 2050? ? Creative writing workshop
Multispecies language landscapes
Corpus-assisted approaches to ecolinguistics
New stories "fresco"
For participants who wish to offer more, there are several other
possibilities.
With an individual presentation:
Participate with a prerecorded and translated presentation; answer
questions either remotely or during a live, on-site panel
Participate with a presentation on site
Organise a workshop
Organise a dialogue or conversation
Participate in workshops (registration with conference registration)
Participate in dialogue (registration with conference registration)
Do you want to give a presentation, organize a workshop or topical
conversation? Please provide us with an abstract by 1st November 2025!
Please note: the names and contact details of the author(s), organiser
or organising team should be provided in the submission form of the
website. They should not in any case be mentioned in the abstract,
since it will be blind-reviewed.
Individual presentations should not exceed 20 minutes. The abstract of
up to 300 words should provide details on the content of the
presentation in relation to the conference theme, specify the mode of
presentation (prerecorded, on site) and the language or languages of
presentation.
Workshops can last from two hours to a full day. The abstract of up to
500 words needs to include the following information: mode (in-person,
online), language(s) and translation / interpreting requirements,
equipment needed, duration of workshop, approximate number of
participants.
Dialogues and conversations are topical debates moderated by one or
two persons. They should last one or two hours and are supposed to
tackle a concrete question or problem. The moderator may invite one to
four guests who will make a contribution to spark a wider discussion.
The abstract of up to 300 words needs to include the following
information: main issue addressed, mode (in-person, online),
language(s) and translation  / interpreting requirements, envisaged
duration of discussion, approximate number of participants.
Artistic contributions are welcome. Please send us a short, informal
email, spelling out your idea and how it could enrich the conference.
We will try our best to accommodate creative and artistic
contributions.
While selected parts will be open to online participants, it will not
be a fully hybrid event.

Subject: The Journal of Comparative Germanic Linguistics - "Syntactic Variation in Germanic Languages" (Jrnl)


Journal: The Journal of Comparative Germanic Linguistics
Issue: Syntactic Variation in Germanic Languages
Call Deadline: 30-Jun-2026

The Journal of Comparative Germanic Linguistics provides a platform
for discussion of theoretical linguistic research into the modern and
older languages and dialects of the Germanic family. Contributions
that establish robust empirical generalizations within a formal theory
of grammar that permit precise discussions are welcome. The empirical
range of the work may either involve cross-linguistic comparison
within the Germanic family or elucidate issues in Germanic linguistics
through the exemplary analysis of one Germanic language.
This Collection explores syntactic variation in Germanic languages. It
welcomes studies on both contemporary and historical varieties, aiming
to uncover how various grammatical processes reflect broader
linguistic patterns and change.
Understanding syntactic variation is key to understanding language
change. Recent developments in generative linguistics and language
contact research have introduced new tools for analyzing these
phenomena across dialects and sociolects. Future research may shed
light on cognitive aspects of syntactic variation, multilingual
syntactic choices, and the impact of language contact on grammar.
Topics of interest include:
 - Syntactic variation in Germanic dialects
 - Grammaticalization processes
 - Language contact and syntactic change
We invite submissions addressing these and related topics.

Subject: Anthropological Linguistics, General Linguistics, Philosophy of Language: Julian Steward Chair of Social Sciences, Deep Springs College


Job Location: Eastern California, USA
Web Address: http://www.deepsprings.edu
Job Title: Julian Steward Chair of Social Sciences
Job Rank: Rank Open

Minimum Education: Ph.D.

Specialty Areas: Anthropological Linguistics; General Linguistics;
Philosophy of Language

Other Specialties: Open
Description:
Deep Springs College is hiring the Julian Steward Chair of Social
Sciences to begin in August of 2026. This position is open to
educators in any social science discipline including sociology,
history, political science, anthropology, archaeology, economics, law,
geography, and psychology. We are particularly interested in social
scientists with very broad, interdisciplinary interests and who are
eager to work closely with our permanent Humanities and Natural
Science Chairs. The ability to teach both the intellectual foundations
of social science and social science methodology is highly desirable.
Above all, the ideal candidate will be a committed and passionate
teacher with an enthusiasm for Deep Springs College?s unique
educational program.
Founded in 1917, Deep Springs College is a private, nonsectarian,
fully accredited 2-year college program for academically gifted young
people, located on a small cattle-and-alfalfa ranch in a beautiful,
remote area of the White Mountains on the California-Nevada border.
The program enrolls 26-30 students who divide their time between
rigorous academics, labor, and self-governance (?the three pillars?)
with the aim of cultivating a life of leadership and service. As
long-standing members of the College community, Faculty Chairs play an
essential role in fostering the intellectual culture of the school.
The Julian Steward Chair will be expected to cultivate the social
sciences as a vibrant area of inquiry on campus while building rapport
with students and colleagues beyond the classroom?by attending
communal meals, collaborating with students on projects of shared
interest, and engaging in recreational activities such as hikes and
artistic performances. The right person for this role will be excited
to serve and live in a small, close-knit community located in an
isolated and beautiful desert environment. Deep Springs is a unique
place that changes the lives of all who work and study here by
revealing capacities of cooperation, resilience, and character unique
to each of us. The College sustains a profound hold on the
imaginations of its staff, faculty, and students during their time
here and long after they leave.
Faculty Chairs typically teach two self-designed courses each semester
(four courses per academic year) with fewer than ten students. Chairs
are expected to teach courses within their area of expertise, as well
as more general courses to support the breadth of the social sciences
at Deep Springs (i.e. courses on both canonical theoretical texts and
on research methodology). In addition, faculty have the option to
mentor students through independent studies each year. Chairs are
encouraged to solicit student participation in their work, or work
with students to design projects of mutual interest. Chairs are also
expected to serve on one of the college?s student-led committees,
which manage student admissions and re-invitation, as well as
communications, outreach, and curriculum development.
Faculty Chair appointments are full-time with extensive benefits such
as free housing, utilities, and meals. Additional benefits include
health, vision, and dental insurance as well as a monthly retirement
contribution equal to 14% of salary. Traditionally Faculty Chairs do
not teach during our spring and summer short terms, resulting in a
four-month annual teaching release (May-August). The starting salary
for Faculty Chairs is $76,000 with additional salary consideration for
prior years of service in an existing faculty position. Initial
appointments are for three years, renewable for a second three-year
term. Deep Springs College does not offer tenure but our Faculty
Chairs often stay for 4-6 years, transitioning to tenure-track
positions at top public and private institutions of higher learning.
Deep Springs is committed to supporting Chairs in their own
professional development, research, and scholarship so that they may
pursue life-long success in academia after they leave the College.
Deep Springs College is an equal opportunity employer. We do not
discriminate on the basis of sex, gender identity, sexual orientation,
race, national origin, religion, age, or disability. More information
about our commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion can
be found on our website.
Application Procedures for the Julian Steward Chair of Social
Sciences:
We will begin reviewing applications on November 24, 2025 and will
continue to accept and consider new applications after this date until
the position is filled. To apply, please email the following materials
to socialsciences at deepsprings.edu:

12th Conference on Language, Discourse, and Cognition
Short Title: CLDC 12
Theme: Language across Minds: Diversity, Aging, and Digitization

Date: 01-May-2026 - 02-May-2026
Location: Taipei, Taiwan
Meeting URL: https://sites.google.com/view/cldc12/homepage

Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics;
Pragmatics; Semantics; Syntax

Submission Deadline: 01-Dec-2025

The CLDC provides a forum for researchers interested in language,
discourse, and cognition to present new findings, exchange innovative
ideas, and share approaches across disciplines. Topics relevant to
these areas, as well as interdisciplinary studies stimulated over the
past years, have given rise to a growing body of critical insights,
making CLDC an important event in the field of cognitive linguistics
in East Asia.
Building on this tradition, studies presented at CLDC address
languages from diverse perspectives in order to enrich dialogue across
the cognitive sciences. For 2026, the special theme of the conference
is Language across Minds: Diversity, Aging, and Digitization,
highlighting how language is acquired, processed, and adapted across
the lifespan, and how research on aging, bilingualism, ambiguity, and
digitization opens new directions for the study of language and
cognition.

Abstract:

Wo kommt B-tocharisch a?tstse ?dicht? oder A-tocharisch m?rta?r ?kurz?
her? Hier finden Sie die Antwort auf diese und viele andere strittige
Fragen zur sprachlichen Vorgeschichte des Tocharischen. Dieses Buch
bietet eine ?u?erst ausf?hrliche etymologische Analyse von 210
synchron undurchsichtigen tocharischen Adjektiven und liefert viele
neue und originelle Erkl?rungen f?r mehrere bisher obskure tocharische
W?rter. Die vorgeschlagenen Etymologien geben uns neue Einblicke in
die tocharische Phonologie und Morphologie und erm?glichen uns, die
phylogenetische Beziehung zwischen dem Tocharischen und den anderen
indogermanischen Sprachzweigen besser zu verstehen. Zugleich leistet
dieses Buch einen wichtigen Beitrag zu einer verbesserten
Rekonstruktion des Urindogermanischen.
Where does Tocharian B a?tstse ?dense? or Tocharian A m?rta?r ?short?
come from? Here, you will find the answer to this question and to many
other debated issues concerning the linguistic prehistory of
Tocharian. This book offers an extremely detailed etymological
analysis of 210 synchronically opaque Tocharian adjectives and
provides plenty of novel and original explanations for several so far
obscure Tocharian words. The proposed etymologies give us new insights
into Tocharian phonology and morphology and help us better understand
the phylogenetic relationship between Tocharian and the other
Indo-European branches. At the same time, this book makes a
significant contribution to an improved and up-to-date reconstruction
of Proto-Indo-European.

SUMMARY
Foundations of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism (7th edition,
2021) by Colin Baker and Wayne E. Wright offers a comprehensive and
accessible introduction to the study of bilingualism and bilingual
education. Now in its seventh edition, the book reflects decades of
research and practice, incorporating updated findings and contemporary
debates about bilingualism in an increasingly globalized world. It
serves as a foundational text for university courses on bilingualism,
bilingual education, applied linguistics, and teacher training and is
equally relevant for practitioners and policymakers working in
multilingual education contexts.
The book moves from foundational concepts, such as defining
bilingualism and biliteracy, to more complex discussions of
bilingualism in society, language policies, and educational practices.
Across its 19 chapters, it provides a broad perspective that includes
historical and theoretical frameworks, the cognitive and developmental
aspects of bilingualism, and practical considerations for classroom
implementation. Each chapter includes a range of pedagogical features,
such as key point summaries, suggested readings, online resources,
discussion questions, and student activities, which encourage active
engagement and make the book accessible not only as a reference but
also as a hands-on guide for learning and teaching.
One of the book?s strengths is the diversity of topics it covers. In
addition to core areas such as early and late bilingual development,
bilingual cognition, and program models, it also addresses populations
often overlooked in mainstream discussions?such as gifted bilinguals,
students with special educational needs, and deaf-signing individuals.
By doing so, the book expands traditional definitions of bilingualism
and highlights its diversity. The final chapters broaden the scope
further by exploring ideological and political dimensions of
bilingualism, including how language can be perceived as a problem, a
right, or a resource. These sections also examine how language skills,
particularly in widely spoken languages like Spanish, intersect with
employment opportunities and social mobility, underscoring the
real-world impact of bilingualism.
While the book incorporates examples from different regions, much of
the data and discussion are drawn from the United States. This focus
provides depth and specificity but leaves room for additional
perspectives from other parts of the world. Nonetheless, the book
remains a foundational resource, combining theoretical depth with
practical insights and making it suitable for a wide range of readers,
from students and teachers to researchers and policymakers.
EVALUATION
Foundations of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism is a comprehensive
and well-structured volume that succeeds in addressing a wide range of
topics relevant to the study and practice of bilingualism. One of its
main strengths lies in the clear and consistent organization of each
chapter. Key features such as summary boxes, suggested further
readings, online resources, discussion questions, and student
activities make the book highly practical for both classroom use and
independent study. The inclusion of a glossary, bibliography, and
index at the end further enhances its value as a reference tool.
Moreover, the book is cohesive throughout, with cross-references
between chapters that allow readers to see how different concepts and
issues interconnect.
While the book?s layout is clear and accessible, some visual elements
could be enhanced for greater clarity. For example, certain
graphs?such as those depicting the number of native speakers of major
world languages?rely heavily on shades of gray without clear labels or
distinctions, which may limit their immediate interpretability. A few
minor adjustments in visual design would make these data presentations
more intuitive and reader-friendly.
A notable aspect of the book is its diverse and nuanced treatment of
key concepts. Rather than offering a single definition, the authors
present a broad spectrum of perspectives on what constitutes
bilingualism and related constructs such as biliteracy,
multilingualism, and multiliteracies. This diversity is complemented
by the use of up-to-date references, ensuring that readers are
introduced to current debates and findings in the field.
While the book discusses a range of international contexts, there is a
perceptible emphasis on the United States. For instance, topics such
as census data and bilingual education models are explored in detail
for the U.S., whereas other regions, such as Asia, are only mentioned
briefly. Including more case studies from Asian contexts, where
rapidly growing bilingual and multilingual populations face unique
challenges, would further enrich the book?s global scope and
relevance. This focus is understandable given the availability of
data, but future editions could benefit from incorporating additional
perspectives to provide a more globally balanced view.
Each chapter blends historical context with contemporary research,
allowing readers to understand how theories and practices have evolved
over time. This historical perspective is particularly useful for
appreciating the limitations of earlier models and the improvements
that have been achieved. The inclusion of chapters on less commonly
discussed populations?such as gifted bilinguals and students with
special educational needs?provides much-needed insights into groups
that are often underrepresented in bilingualism research. Similarly,
the chapter on deaf-signing bilingualism expands the traditional
understanding of what it means to be bilingual, highlighting the
diversity of bilingual experiences.
The final chapters offer especially engaging discussions, such as
those addressing the economic value of bilingualism and its potential
to enhance employability. This section is particularly relevant in
contexts like the United States, where the economic value of Spanish
has been documented through research such as Delgado et al. (2012),
Jim?nez (2019), Mart?nez Garc?a and Mart?nez Garc?a (2022), and Saiz
and Zoido (2005). These works illustrate how bilingualism,
particularly in Spanish, can generate tangible economic benefits for
individuals and society. While these references focus on the U.S.,
similar lines of research are emerging in other regions, though still
less extensively explored. Including a brief overview of this growing
body of literature in the book helps readers appreciate how language
skills are perceived and valued globally, and it opens the door to
broader conversations about the role of bilingualism in today?s
interconnected world.
Nevertheless, certain sections could have delved further into emerging
research areas. The section on bilingualism and the brain is
particularly promising, as it introduces readers to the neurological
underpinnings of language acquisition and use. However, it stops short
of fully engaging with the latest research trends. A more detailed
exploration of recent findings?for instance, studies highlighting how
bilingual experience may affect brain plasticity and cognitive
flexibility?would further strengthen the link between theory and
neuroscience and provide readers with a clearer picture of this
rapidly evolving field.
>From a practical standpoint, the book offers considerable support for
teaching and research. The clear explanations of common myths?such as
the belief that monolinguals inherently know more words than
bilinguals?are particularly valuable for educators and parents alike.
Real-world materials, such as the language background scale, make it
easy to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Some chapters,
such as those discussing bilingualism in early childhood, would also
be beneficial for parents making decisions about their children?s
education. These chapters are also particularly relevant for parents
and caregivers seeking to make informed decisions about their
children?s linguistic and educational trajectories. By presenting
evidence-based insights in an accessible way, the book empowers
families to better understand the long-term benefits and complexities
of raising bilingual children.
However, while the book provides numerous pedagogical insights, there
remains room to expand the discussion of how research findings can be
directly translated into strategies for higher education contexts. In
particular, while the book successfully bridges theory and practice
for general education, future editions could include more concrete
examples of how bilingual research informs curriculum design and
instructional strategies at the university level. This would be
especially beneficial for teacher-training programs and for
professionals working in multilingual higher education contexts.
The book also excels in addressing the complex relationships between
language, ideology, and politics. Discussions about whether
bilingualism should be encouraged or assimilation prioritized are both
timely and thought-provoking. Importantly, the authors highlight how
research, while not directly shaping policy, can inform the theories
and educational practices that ultimately influence policymaking. The
exploration of how ideologies shape societal perceptions of
bilingualism is one of the book?s most compelling contributions,
though the treatment of bilingualism as a problem, right, or resource
would benefit from examples drawn from beyond the U.S.
Overall, Foundations of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism is an
outstanding resource that balances theoretical depth with practical
application. It is especially effective in demystifying myths and
clarifying complex concepts, making it suitable for both students and
seasoned researchers. While certain chapters could be expanded to
include more global perspectives and recent research findings, the
book remains an indispensable guide to understanding bilingualism in
its many forms. Its comprehensive coverage, clear structure, and
thoughtful integration of diverse topics make it a valuable
contribution to the field and an essential text for anyone engaged in
bilingual education or research.

Submission Deadline: 17-Nov-2025

We invite abstract submissions for a Workshop on ?Clitics, clitic
placement, and cliticisation? as part of the 59th Annual Meeting of
the Societas Linguistica Europaea. Each oral presentation will be
assigned a 25-minute slot (20 min. presentation, 5 min. discussion, 5
min. room change).
Provisional abstracts should be no longer than 300 words and focus on
an aspect relevant to the study of clitics. The deadline submission is
November 17th 2025. Abstracts should be sent to the convenor:
marc.olivier-loiseau at tcd.ie.

1. Clitics
Linguistic research on clitics has produced significant empirical and
formal studies. These elements qualify neither as 'words' nor as
'affixes' and showcase striking characteristics across morphology,
syntax, prosody, and phonology.
The hallmark of clitics is their deficient nature. However, well-known
tests like "a clitic cannot be stressed" or "a clitic cannot be
coordinated" only capture broad generalisations and fail to capture
micro-issues. The literature offers evidence of stressed clitics and
clitics with disjunction, suggesting that usual tests need refinement.
This raises the question: if not all clitics are clitics in the same
way, should we consider a spectrum of cliticness? Are there clitics
that are more clitic-y than others? Non-European data adds complexity:
Makassarese appears to differentiate 'affixal clitics' from 'free
clitics', while Mapudungun has morphemes dubbed 'anti-clitics' that
syntactically incorporate into a host yet maintain some phonological
dependence.
Structural questions remain contested. Some authors analyse clitics as
heads, some as phrases, and some as both simultaneously. Does this
vary across languages? Is it only a formal question, or is it
supported by empirical evidence? Regarding the morpheme itself,
approaches differ on whether Romance pronominal clitics should be
analysed as simplex or complex elements containing multiple features
(person, gender, number, and possibly determiner elements).
>From a diachronic perspective, clitics result from weakening. Latin
strong pronouns gave rise to Romance clitics. Pronominal clitics exist
in a wide variety of unrelated languages, leading to questions about
their genesis: why are pronouns susceptible to becoming clitics, and
how does it happen? From the viewpoint of language change, clitics
must be considered in the light of grammaticalisation.
2. Clitic Placement
The most striking observation is that clitics appear in a derived
position across languages. In Standard Modern Greek and most Romance
varieties, full objects follow the finite verb whereas object clitics
precede it. In Old Hittite and in the diachrony of Bulgarian, clitic
elements necessarily appear in second position of the clause.
The generative literature broadly distinguishes three approaches:
- Base generation approach: clitics are generated in the position in
which they appear
- Movement approach: clitics are generated in an argumental position
and move to the position in which they appear
- Agree approach: clitics are generated in an argumental position and
are realised as agreement morphemes
Each approach opens formal questions. Are Clitic Phrases universal
projections in a fixed order? If clitics move, do they do so as
phrases, heads, or both, and where do they land? What featural makeup
allows clitics to be realised through agreement? Should we strive for
a one-size-fits-all analysis, or are different approaches better
suited for different languages?
Clitic placement issues also involve phenomena including:
- Second-position clitics: What 'counts' as second position?
- Clitic doubling: Why and how do some languages double their object
with a clitic?
- Clitic climbing: Why do some predicates allow clitics to appear in a
different clause than the one they originate in?
- Clitic reduplication: What leads to the same clitic being pronounced
twice?
The workshop welcomes studies that question, revisit, and update the
formal mechanisms of clitic placement, as well as new empirical
descriptions and generalisations.
3. Cliticisation
Further prosodic and phonological requirements apply on top of clitic
placement rules. Because clitics are dependent elements, they must
find another element to lean onto. Cliticisation specifically refers
to the mechanism(s) through which clitics attach to their prosodic
host.
The differentiation between clitic placement and cliticisation is
crucial: in some languages the prosodic host and the syntactic host
are the same element, whereas in others they are distinct. French and
Romanian illustrate this contrast, with French clitics leaning right
onto the verb and Romanian clitics leaning left onto a preceding
element. Interestingly, French once behaved similarly to Romanian
before shifting its cliticisation pattern.
In languages where clitics must find a prosodic host to their left,
clause-initial position is illicit. In Amazigh languages, if no
prosodic host precedes them, clitics swap positions with the verb.
Does this mean cliticisation impacts clitic placement? Several
solutions involving phonological mechanisms have been proposed,
including prosodic inversion, interface-driven verb movement, and copy
deletion. These approaches share the involvement of phonology/prosody
in word order.
Furthermore, 'attaching to a host' may oversimplify what clitics do.
Clitics can attach to either a prosodic word or a phonological phrase,
contributing to crosslinguistic variation. The question becomes: what
constitutes a host?
4. Potential research questions:
The aim of the workshop is to explore clitics from all possible
perspectives, from methodological matters to theoretical ones, and
case studies. Both synchronic and diachronic studies are welcome, and
those working on under-explored languages are encouraged. We invite
abstracts engaging with the following research questions and related
issues, as well as those mentioned throughout the call:
1. What is a clitic?
2. Can we strictly define a clitic category? Should we talk about
subcategories of clitics?
3. What drives clitic placement? Are there different mechanisms, or is
it a universal phenomenon?
4. How do clitics attach to prosodic hosts? Are there different
mechanisms, or is it a universal phenomenon?
5. How does cliticisation influence clitic placement?
6. How do current methodological and theoretical advances allow us to
approach the study of clitics? What improvements are needed?
7. How does language change give rise to clitics? What about clitic
loss?
8. What other linguistic phenomena (broadly defined) do clitics
interact with?
9. What can we learn from comparative analyses of clitics?

Geopolitical realignments, economic restructuring, and technological
innovation are reshaping global life in complex, interconnected ways.
Central to these transformations are new regimes of industrial
production and commercialization characteristic of the post-industrial
era, often termed post-Fordism. Marked by flexible production,
decentralized management, and the primacy of knowledge-based labor
(Harvey, 1989), this system represents a significant departure from
earlier industrial paradigms. Globalization, defined as the growing
interdependence of economies, cultures, and populations through
transnational flows of trade, information, and human mobility
(Giddens, 1991), is closely linked to these shifts.
International organizations such as UNESCO, UNICEF, and the World Bank
have played pivotal roles in shaping educational discourse,
particularly through the diffusion of governance models,
accountability measures, benchmarking standards, and quality assurance
mechanisms, key features of the emerging New Economic Order (Rassool,
1999). These discourses have influenced educational policies and
teaching practices, leading to a reformulation of teacher roles and
engagement within institutions across diverse contexts. Educational
perspectives in the post-industrial era emphasize flexible structures
and the cultivation of skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and
communication (Hargreaves, 1994), aligning education with the evolving
demands of the global economy (Giddens, 1991).
Globalization has also transformed language education, especially in
the teaching and learning of English, the world?s lingua franca.
English adapts to varied linguacultural contexts, shaped by the
diverse sociolinguistic realities of its global users (Block, 2000).
As Blommaert (2010) notes, English is used worldwide according to the
agency of its users, who engage in translanguaging (Wei, 2018),
code-mixing, and other hybrid practices that challenge traditional
norms established by the Inner Circle of English (Kachru, 1985). These
practices enrich the language and reflect localized strategies of
identity and communication. The transnational mobility of elites from
the Global South intensifies these dynamics. Language policies, such
as those informed by the Council of Europe?s Frames of Reference
(CEFR), serve as tools for governing inclusion, integration, and
pathways to citizenship (Simpson & Whiteside, 2015). In stratified
labor markets, even concepts like ?community? and ?multilingualism?
are commodified within narratives of internationalization and
inclusion (Tavares, 2017). Positioned within the global knowledge
economy, the ELT industry forms part of a broader structure that
necessitates the accumulation of linguistic capital (Bourdieu, 1991)
in order to secure opportunities, visibility and recognition. The
commercialization of English, conspicuous in both higher education and
training markets, has become a multi-billion-dollar business.
Students, professionals, practitioners, peacekeepers, and politicians
represent the diverse populations served by ELT professionals; within
this context, certification has been promoted to a form of currency
facilitating mobility, enhancing employability, and legitimizing
claims to migration rights (Piller & Cho, 2013).
 The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in language education is
another significant disruption. AI tools offer educators new
opportunities for content creation, individualized input, adaptive
feedback, and the cultivation of learner autonomy (Deckker &
Sumanasekara, 2025; Xu & Wang, 2024). These technologies are
transforming academic writing, curriculum design, material
development, and assessment practices (Chapelle, 2025). However, they
also raise ethical concerns, including data privacy, algorithmic bias,
plagiarism, and transparency (Khan, 2024). These tensions underscore
the need for rigorous research and critical inquiry to inform
effective implementation in ELT contexts.
While academic and policy stakeholders are influential, in-service
teachers remain central to ELT change. Their agency, lived experience,
and responsiveness to learners? needs shape how innovations are
received, adapted, or resisted. Best practices emerge through
experimentation, reflection, and practical adaptation to local
conditions, highlighting the indispensable role of practitioners in
advancing educational quality.
At the Tunisia TESOL 10th International Conference, researchers,
practitioners, teachers, educators, ELT service providers, and
policymakers, both local and international, are invited to contribute.
This year?s theme, ELT in a Changing World: Realities and Challenges,
seeks to foster dialogue on how ELT professionals are addressing the
complexities of globalization, migration, digitalization, and shifting
pedagogic paradigms. The organizing committee welcomes theoretical,
empirical, classroom-based, and tool demonstration papers, as well as
reflective essays, that critically engage with how change is
contested, accommodated, and embraced in ELT contexts.
Many formats are possible: Presentations, workshops, poster sessions,
panel discussions, demonstrations, in addition, but not exclusively,
to focusing on any of the subthemes below:
 - The changing nature of English
 - ELT and shifts in educational priorities
 - ELT for diverse learner profiles and differentiated instruction
 - Adapting ELT methods to Glocally accommodate learner diversity and
inclusivity
 - Ethics, Uses and Abuses of AI tools and applications in ELT
 - Integrating GenAI into lesson planning, materials design, and
assessment
 - Empowering learners with GenAI: promoting autonomy, creativity, and
real-time language support
 - Task-Based & Project-Based Learning (PBL) and experiential
approaches in ELT
 - Digital tools and personalized, adaptive learning in ELT
 - ?Negotiation of meaning? in digital and hybrid learning spaces
 - Intercultural communicative competence (ICC) in the classroom and
beyond
 - Gender, race and class dynamics in ELT contexts.
 - Teacher agency in navigating reforms and mediating curriculum
(Navigating imposed reforms vs. localized practice)
 - Teacher resistance and adaptation to policy changes
 - Institutional support and professional development
 - The business of ELT
 - Certification, employability and career advancement in the sciences

Europe?s linguistic landscape is increasingly diverse. It encompasses
standardized national languages (taught to both L1 and L2 learners),
regional minority languages and dialects, home and heritage languages,
as well as learned/taught foreign non-European languages. Language
education has been a key pillar in European education policy, which
endorses the importance of plurilingual and intercultural education
for democratic culture. In addition to the longstanding policy aim of
European Union citizens gaining proficiency in two additional
languages, an important principle of the recommendation relates to
language awareness.
The 8th edition of the LiDi conference series focuses on a specific
perspective to raise such language awareness in the European education
systems, which can be summarized as linguistic awareness?an approach
where contents and insights of the academic discipline of linguistics
(both theoretical linguistics and psycholinguistics) are adapted to
pre-university language classrooms. Linguistic awareness will
ultimately result in language awareness, which advances the students?
consciousness of different forms and functions of language and
promotes analytical, critical, and science-based thinking.
The workshop will bring together leading experts who are already
involved in relevant initiatives in their own countries, but who do
not yet have a joint platform to cooperate and interact with each
other at a European level. The goal is to shift the focus from views
where knowledge about language is mostly regarded as an instrument
(subservient to the development of literacy) to a perspective valuing
knowledge about linguistic concepts itself for their societal and
cultural significance.
Therefore, we seek contributions from a wide range of linguistic
subfields, including but not limited to the following questions:
 - Variation and Change (social and multilingual): How can we help
student teachers and schoolteachers understand the broad linguistic
concepts of language variation and change (including dialects and
sociolects)? How can we address linguistic discrimination in various
European societies, and how can it be overcome?
 - Linguistic Form (phonology and morpho-syntax): How can we make
fundamental aspects of language structure accessible to language
education? How can we best bust the myth that language structure is
linear and introduce basic concepts of hierarchical structure?
 - Linguistic Meaning (semantics and pragmatics): How can we teach the
underlying principles of ?meaning? in pre-university classrooms? We
are particularly interested in connecting linguistic ways to analyze
linguistic meaning with phenomena we encounter in the digital world,
such as generative AI tools (ChatGPT) or fake news.
Submission Guidelines:
We invite submissions of anonymous abstracts for 30-minute talks (20
presentation + 10 discussion). Submissions should not exceed two A4
pages (incl. references + examples), 12pt. single-spaced, with 2.5cm
(= one-inch) margins on all sides. Either PDF or Word format is
accepted. Please upload your abstracts at:

Psycholinguistics of Slavic Languages (PsychoSlav) is a biennial
conference whose aim is to bring together researchers examining Slavic
languages from psycholinguistic perspective. The goal of the
conference is to promote the discussion between such scholars and
possibly lead to some future collaborative crosslinguistic projects.
The conference was first organized at the University of T?bingen in
2022 and in 2024, by the Centre for Corpus and Experimental Research
on Slavic Languages ?Slavicus? at the University of Wroc?aw.
In 2026, the conference will be organized by the University of Zadar
and the UiT The Arctic University of Norway. The conference will take
place (in person) in Zadar (Croatia) on May 27-29, 2026.
There will be a thematic session ?Cross-Linguistic Influence in Slavic
Bilingualism? and an open session.
Thematic Session:
The topic of the thematic session will be: ?Cross-Linguistic Influence
in Slavic Bilingualism?
Cross-linguistic influence (CLI) is a central phenomenon in the study
of bilingualism, referring to the ways in which one language affects
another in a significant way in a bilingual speaker?s mind. Many
speakers of Slavic languages grow up and live in bilingual or
multilingual environments, where the interplay between their
languages, whether typologically similar or distant, plays a
significant role in shaping language acquisition, processing, and
attrition.
In bilingual settings with two Slavic languages (e.g., Ukrainian in
Poland), structural similarities across grammatical domains (e.g.,
case marking) can lead to facilitative effects of CLI, supporting
acquisition and processing. However, even among closely related Slavic
languages, subtle but significant language-specific differences (e.g.,
variations in verbal aspect), can cause inhibition, showing that
typological proximity does not always guarantee facilitation. In
contrast, in contexts involving a Slavic and a non-Slavic language
(e.g., Croatian in Germany), greater typological differences may
result in stronger inhibitory effects of CLI. Recent methodological
advancements, such as multilingual group comparisons and real-time
processing techniques, offer promising avenues for investigating how
multiple grammatical systems coexist and interact within the bilingual
mind.
This session aims to address the following questions through the lens
of Slavic bilingualism, i.e., bilingualism involving at least one
Slavic language:
- What role, facilitative or inhibitory, does CLI play in bilingual
language processing?
- How do structural similarity and typological proximity between
languages affect the presence, direction, and extent of CLI?
- What insights do real-time processing methods (e.g.,
electroencephalography (EEG), eye-tracking) offer into the role of
CLI?
- What can novel methodological approaches, i.e., multilingual group
comparisons, reveal about CLI?
- How do experiential factors (e.g., language exposure and
proficiency) and cognitive abilities (e.g., working memory
capacities), modulate CLI in real-time processing?
We invite contributions that investigate CLI across various
grammatical domains (e.g., grammatical gender, case, aspect, word
order, pronouns) and among diverse bilingual populations (including
children and adults; simultaneous and sequential heritage bilinguals,
L2 and L3 learners, and potential attriters) in Slavic-to-Slavic
and/or Slavic-to-non-Slavic contact settings. The goal is to present
cutting-edge research and foster discussions of theoretical and
methodological advances that deepen our understanding of CLI in the
context of Slavic bilingualism.
Open Session:
For the open session, we invite papers that address the key questions
of PsychoSlav, including:
- How does research on Slavic languages impact the general
psycholinguistic theories?
- Are the findings on typologically different languages replicable on
Slavic?
- How can Slavic languages broaden the scope of psycholinguistic
research?
- Do Slavic languages bring new research questions in play due to
their specific structure?
- Are there any practical constraints to the psycholinguistic research
on Slavic languages?
- If yes, is there any way to overcome them in the near future?
Paper proposals focusing on any topic of language processing on
various aspects of Slavic languages, as well as on their use and
acquisition, are welcome.
Talks will be 20-minute long plus 10 minutes for discussion. Also, we
will have an one-hour long poster session.
We look forward to receiving abstracts addressing one or more of the
following strands using new experimental methods:
- phonetics
- phonology
- morphosyntax
- semantics
- pragmatics
- first and second language acquisition
We invite submissions about ongoing work. Abstracts on such projects
should present detailed information on the methodological aspects
(sample, technique used), planned analysis, and theoretical relevance.
Workshop:
The conference will host the workshop ?When Do Effects Emerge?
Resampling Methods for Latency Comparisons in the Visual World
Paradigm? (Serge Minor, UiT The Arctic University of Norway).

The rapid development of AI and its integration into translator
training and translation practices have led to numerous changes in
both academia (Bada & Schumacher, 2024; Loock, 2025) and the
translation industry (Girletti & Lefer, 2024), hence a need for
trainees and professionals to adapt to an ever-changing field. The
necessity of mastering new AI skills, namely prompt engineering (He,
2024: 316), leads both lecturers and professionals to reinvent
themselves more than ever. Although the recent AI developments have
led to the use of MT for many text types that were considered, until
recently, to be AI-resistant, human intervention is still needed to
maintain professional quality standards, particularly for literary
translation (Hansen & Esperan?a-Rodier, 2022: 185), creative domains
(dubbing, subtitling, localisation) (e.g. Jim?nez-Crespo, 2024: 18)
and specialised translation (terminology management, polysemy) (K?bler
et al., 2024). We welcome proposals to discuss any of the following:
 - Translation training in the generative AI era;
 - Prompt engineering in translation and its effects on quality and
process;
 - AI post-editing in creative fields;
 - AI post-editing in literary translation;
 - AI post-editing in specialised translation;
 - AI use in terminology management;
 - Comparing AI-generated translation and human productions;

Submission Deadline: 05-Nov-2025

Together with Piotr Sobotka, Mikhail Kopotev, and Mladen Uhlik, I am
pleased to announce that we are organizing a workshop at the next
meeting of the Societas Linguistica Europaea (SLE), which will take
place in Osnabr?ck, Germany, from 26 to 29 August 2026. If you are
working on any aspect of multiple-wh words, we warmly invite you to
join us and submit an abstract by 5 November 2025. You will find the
workshop description below, and the full proposal along with further
details here: https://blogs.helsinki.fi/wh-words-cle2026/
Convenors:
Valentina Apresjan (Dartmouth College, USA)
Mikhail Kopotev (University of Helsinki, Finland / Stockholm
University, Sweden)
Piotr Sobotka (Institute of Slavic Studies, PAS, Poland)
Mladen Uhlik (Fran Ramov? Institute of the Slovenian Language &
University of Ljubljana, Slovenia)
Meeting Description:
The workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in the
syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of constructions with multiple
wh-words across languages, which are understood as constructions
structured with two or more wh-elements that can fulfil different
functions. We propose the following questions for discussion:
 - What semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic factors underlie the
restrictions on wh-variables and their possible pairings in
polypronominal wh-constructions, especially in their distributive
readings?
 - Under what semantic and pragmatic conditions are such constructions
licensed in discourse, and what communicative functions do they
perform across languages?
 - What syntactic positions can these constructions occupy within the
clause, and how do they interact with the valency requirements of the
predicate (if present)?
 - How do frequency, idiomatization and formulaicity influence the
grammatical status of these constructions across different languages?
 - What are the historical sources of such constructions (e.g.
indirect questions > quasi-relatives > distributives), and what
grammaticalization paths can be identified cross-linguistically?
 - Can we detect areal or genealogical patterns in the distribution
and structure of these constructions, and what do such patterns reveal
about contact-induced change versus independent development?
 - How do distributive constructions with multiple wh-words compare
with other distributive strategies (lexical, morphological, or
clausal) cross-linguistically?
We welcome submissions that employ a range of theoretical frameworks,
including but not limited to Construction Grammar, formal semantic and
pragmatic analyses, corpus-based studies, cross-linguistic typological
comparisons. We are particularly interested in studies that combine
theoretical analysis with empirical data from diverse languages, using
methodologies such as corpus linguistics, experimental pragmatics and
comparative linguistics.

16th International Conference of the Association for Linguistic
Typology
Diversity in Systemic Expansion and Contraction (WS2)
Workshop organizers: Oliver Bond and D?vid Gy?rfi
The grammatical systems of languages ? such as case, gender or TAM
systems  ? can vary considerably in terms of the core distinctions
they make (and the exponents thereof) even in closely related
languages. In the most striking cases, some family members have
systems that encode a handful of cross-linguistically familiar
categories, whereas the same systems in related varieties expand to
typologically unusual proportions. For instance, six auxiliaries
encoding TAM distinctions are observed in the 7th century Old Turkic
records; this increased to 19 auxiliaries in Kazakh and 28 in Uzbek,
yet Modern Standard Turkish has only five (Erdal 2004; Bodrogligeti
2002; Tulum 1997; Gy?rfi 2022; G?ksel and Kerslake 2005; Gabain 1953).
Conversely, while we see a stable system of 7-8 nominal cases in many
Slavic languages, the Bulgarian case system gradually contracted to
only two (Wahlstr?m 2015). What motivates the mass expansion or
contraction of grammatical systems?
Existing explanations for the expansion of grammatical systems
typically examine the development of new categories/feature values at
the level of the grammaticalisation of individual constructions
(Bybee, Perkins and Pagliuca 1994; Hopper and Traugott 2003; Narrog
and Heine 2011; Kuteva et al. 2019) or the analogical expansion of a
grammatical strategy (De Smet and Fischer 2017; Fischer 2011; Fischer
2008) but say much less about dependencies between existing and
emergent categories. While studies on grammatical niches have examined
some of the effects of competition within grammatical systems (Aronoff
2019; Aronoff 2016; Dale and Lupyan 2012), little is known about how
this plays out in the most expansive systems, what types of categories
emerge as systems grow beyond what is normally encountered, or what
motivations exist for their mass expansion. Available diachronic
evidence suggests that in some expansive systems, growth is
characterized by a period of rapid expansion following an S curve
(Ghanbarnejad et al. 2014; Blythe and Croft 2012) in which new
categories emerge, and are sometimes quickly lost, as the system grows
and reshapes (Gy?rfi and Bond, forthcoming). In Old Turkic, the
limited number of attested TAM expressions conveyed familiar
grammatical distinctions such as ?perfective,? ?imperfective,? and
?habitual.? In subsequent varieties, the newly introduced
constructions compete with existing ones, but instead of replacing
them, they develop into highly specific categories, such as
?perfective: short duration? or ?imperfective: unidirectional change?
(Gy?rfi and Bond, forthcoming). The question remains open as to
whether these reflect language-specific developments or if the most
expansive grammatical systems reflect universal tendencies in terms of
their organization.
Similarly, a growing body of work has investigated the loss of
inflection over time (Sims-Williams and Enger 2020; Sims-Williams and
Baerman 2021), and attrition of grammatical distinctions through
language contact (Montrul and Yoon 2019; Schmitt 2019; Schmitt and
Sorokina 2024). With respect to the contraction of expansive systems,
Verkerk and Di Garbo (2022) investigated the erosion of the gender
system in northwestern Bantu languages. They propose that the gender
systems that have undergone the most significant erosion from the
extensive Proto-Bantu gender system have been restructured around
semantically transparent animacy contrasts. This suggests that the
contraction of expansive systems may, in part, be motivated by a
reduction in the opacity of the system. These observations prompt us
to consider whether the complexity of expansive systems diminishes
according to the same principles observed in smaller systems. Or is
the contraction of expansive systems driven by specific factors
related to the semantic organization or complexity inherent in larger
systems?
Exploring the ways in which expansive grammatical systems emerge and
contract provides a unique opportunity to understand patterns of
linguistic organization that are less well evidenced in more typical
systems.
Questions and Research Topics:
We are particularly interested in case studies of variation within a
single family, or cross-linguistic studies, where synchronic or
diachronic variation provides clues to the context in which expansion
is favoured, or where structured contraction or loss of large systems
can be observed.
We invite scholarly contributions, focusing on any linguistic
phenomenon, that address the following questions:
1. Can cross-linguistic patterns be established to describe
large-scale systemic expansion and contraction?
2. What types of categories appear in the most expansive systems?
3. Do these patterns of expansion or contraction correlate with
different typological profiles?
4. Are there specific conditions that can predict systemic expansion
or contraction?
5. Although some examples appear to have developed through analogy, is
this the sole mechanism driving such systemic expansion?
6. Expansion is sometimes described in terms of an S-curve,
characterized by a period of relatively rapid growth. However, is this
universally applicable?
7. What is the role of language contract in large-scale systemic
expansion and contraction?

Meeting Description:
The International Conference on Multimodality, ICOM, is a bi-annual
event in the context of multimodality research, i.e. the study of how
diverse expressive forms, or semiotic modes, work together in the
meaning-making processes of our daily personal as well as professional
communication. Multimodality research is primarily situated in the
broad field of the humanities, often strongly affiliated with
linguistics and communication studies and with connection points to
information studies and artificial intelligence, psychology,
sociology, and other disciplines. It is also currently seen as a stage
of development that many fields and disciplines currently undergo,
developing an interest in multimodal phenomena.
The full conference program is now available online:

Subject: Participation in a Pre-Study on Generic Statements in German


Together with Anita K?rner and Joanna Kullik (University of Kassel), I
am reaching out for your help: we are currently running a short
pre-study that relies on ratings from people with linguistic expertise
who are L1 speakers of German.
In this pre-study, we test whether and which sentences are perceived
as generic. Participation should take about 20 minutes. It does not
matter whether you have previously worked on generic statements or
not.
If you can spare the time, please take part ? that would be a huge
help! Feel free to share this link with others who also have
linguistic expertise (and ideally German as an L1).

In recent decades, an extensive corpus of research has been dedicated
to the examination of anaphoric relations in various linguistic
contexts. This research encompasses a broad spectrum of studies,
ranging from the development of theoretical frameworks in dynamic
semantics to experimental investigations into the factors that govern
anaphoric relations. However, a plethora of questions remain
unresolved. Of particular interest is the interaction of categorical
rules with disparate gradient scales in shaping anaphoric
interpretation and use. For example, the mechanisms by which the
features of anaphoric pronouns are determined become particularly
complex in certain situations, such as copular constructions and in
cases of reference to kinds, pluralities, events, or propositions. In
dialogue, direct and indirect speech, free indirect discourse, and
shifts across intensional contexts, both the empirical conditions on
accessibility and the formal relation between antecedent and anaphoric
expression remain insufficiently understood. Recent investigations in
the study of Sign Languages and gesture semantics have added a crucial
dimension, raising questions about the cross-modal validity of current
theories of anaphoricity.
We invite researchers in semantics, pragmatics and philosophy, to
submit their research on the theoretical modeling and experimental
investigation of anaphoric relations, including both diachronic
perspectives and questions concerning the cross-modal applicability of
theories of anaphoric relations.
We welcome contributions addressing, but not limited to, the following
topics:
- Formal and semantic features of anaphoric pronouns
- Ontology and accessibility of anaphoric antecedents
- Discourse prominence and coherence
- Structural connectives and inferred relations
- Anaphoric reference in narratives and dialogue
- Demonstratives and deictic uses
- Perspective taking in discourse
- Anaphoric strategies in Sign Languages and gesture
Abstracts:
We invite theoretical and empirical contributions for 30-minute
presentations, followed by 15 minutes of discussion. Abstracts should
be anonymous, written in English, and not longer than two pages
(including examples and references), formatted as PDF in Times New
Roman 12 pt, single-spaced, with 2.4 cm margins. Please submit your
abstract by e-mail to: red26_brasov at yahoo.com.

Submission Deadline: 15-Dec-2025

The concept of time was central to medieval and early modern
intellectual and textual traditions, shaping liturgical cycles,
scholarly computation, and the organisation of written knowledge.
Across these periods, time was recorded, calculated, and represented
in multiple ways ? embedded in language, structured in manuscript
design, and transmitted through textual traditions.
This one-day conference brings together researchers to explore how
linguistic evidence and manuscript culture reflect and shape
conceptions of time in medieval and early modern England.
We are especially interested in papers examining how tense, aspect,
and mood are deployed in medieval texts to encode temporal relations
and narrative sequencing, as well as how changes in these systems
reflect broader shifts in medieval thought. Equally important is the
study of lexical and semantic fields of time, including vocabulary for
calendars, seasons, liturgical cycles, and historical periods, along
with idiomatic and pragmatic ways of expressing temporal relations in
medieval discourse. Beyond grammar and lexicon, time can also be
explored through sound and prosody (vowel and consonant length,
prosodic timing, rhythm in verse), diachronic change in timing
contrasts, as well as manuscript evidence for phonological quantity
and prosody.
Manuscripts themselves offer another perspective, providing visual and
codicological evidence for temporal organisation through calendars,
diagrams, rubrics, and marginal notes that transmit knowledge about
time across cultures and traditions.
We particularly encourage interdisciplinary approaches integrating
linguistic and manuscript evidence, as well as comparative studies
across languages and manuscript traditions.
Submission Guidelines:
Please submit abstracts (Word format) of no more than 300 words
(excluding references) along with a short bio (max 150 words) to
ileana.sasu at univ-tours.fr and oxana.kharlamenko at univ-tours.fr by 15
December 2025. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by 25

Linguistic Field(s): Not Applicable

In the series sprache - macht ? gesellschaft (language ? power ?
society), the University of Vienna, in cooperation with the University
of Trier, is organizing an interdisciplinary conference on the extent
to which the social participation of all in the context of social
transformation is implemented, conceived and further developed. The
conference will also address the extent to which this is hindered
according to general and subject-specific didactic research.
Especially in times of uncertainty, a Europe-wide threat to democracy
due to right-wing extremist tendencies, climate change and
environmental crises, war and violence as well as the associated
challenges and burdens on the next generation, both the ability to
participate and democracy as well as language education in the sense
of discourse skills and deliberation are fundamental goals of
teaching. The conference serves the further networking of language
didactics and the didactics of social sciences.
The conference aims to reflect on and compare the diverse approaches
of general and subject-specific didactic research regarding the
aforementioned focal points from a transnational and interdisciplinary
perspective and to promote transnational and interdisciplinary
networking. Four main aspects are addressed:
- Research on subject teaching and learning, on curricula, content and
knowledge and their subject-specific and inter- or cross-disciplinary
aspects. It will also focus on the potential for imparting powerful
knowledge (Young, 2013) in the context of uncertainty, risks and
opportunities for social transformation.
- Research into students' perspectives on teaching and learning, on
education, on their own constructions of meaning, interests and
developmental tasks in the face of social challenges.
- Current studies on the perspective of teachers, the significance of
subjective theories, convictions and possibilities for action in the
field of tension between social challenges and institutionally imposed
restrictions.
- Classroom research, i.e. the reconstruction of the interplay between
students, teachers and content, the interaction in the classroom and
the existing facilitation (and obstruction) of learning and Bildung.
In this regard, the focus is on questions of the acquisition of
powerful knowledge, knowledge transformation (Gericke et al., 2018)
and epistemic quality in teaching (Hudson et al., 2023), as they have
been and are being researched in the Knowledge and Quality across
Schools and Teacher Education (KOSS) network.
The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers from
general and subject-specific didactic research who are specifically
concerned with questions of language, power and society as well as the
potentials and challenges of enabling social participation and social
inclusion.
The event will take place in person, participation is free of charge,

Reviewer: Pavel Egizaryan

SUMMARY
The Oxford Handbook of Ritual Language, edited by David Tav?rez,
Professor of Anthropology at Vassar College, USA, is a recent addition
to the Oxford Handbook series,  Like other volumes in the series, it
is conceived as a collection of chapters addressing key directions of
research rather than as a comprehensive introduction to the field. It
thus serves primarily as a reference work for those engaged in ritual
studies, while remaining accessible to readers from adjacent
disciplines.
The volume comprises 24 chapters organized into six major parts,
addressing diverse aspects of ritual practices, from methodological
issues to the practical features of ritual speech in contemporary
politics. David Tav?rez opens the collection as the author of Part I,
"Ritual Language in History and Anthropology". Chapter 1, ?Language,
Ritual, and Colonialism: A Brief Cultural History?, examines the
development and reception of rituals in the context of practices both
preceding colonial rule and during the processes of colonization and
Christianization in Indigenous societies of the Americas, South Asia,
and Eastern Europe. It serves as an effective introduction not only to
the study of ritual itself but also to the theme of colonialism, which
recurs throughout the volume. Chapter 2, ?The Anthropology of Ritual
Language: Classic and Contemporary Approaches?, provides a concise
overview of the history of anthropological studies of ritual in the
20th and 21st centuries. In this chapter, Tav?rez lays out the
methodological foundation for the subsequent parts of the book,
introducing key issues such as state authority, cosmology, identity,
society, and pluralism.
Part II, "Rethinking Ritual Language in Method and Theory," proposes
new approaches to familiar practices of social interaction. Chapter 3,
?The Chronotopic and Sonotopic Work of Ritual? (Kristina Wirtz),
analyzes the temporal and acoustic dimensions of rituals such as
President Obama?s oath of office, alongside traditions in educational
and religious contexts. Chapter 4, ?The Language of Secrecy? (Paul
Christopher Johnson), explores how secrecy shapes ritual contexts by
restricting access to knowledge and power. Chapter 5, ?The Ritual
Language of Militarization? (Janet McIntosh), examines practices in
the U.S. Marine Corps that transform recruits by severing ties with
their previous lives and channeling their aggression and other
emotions. Chapter 6, ?Language and Ritual Healing? (Timothy W.
Knowlton), investigates linguistic and extralinguistic factors in
traditional healing practices in the Americas and Africa.
Part III, "Ritual Language, Colonialism, and State Hegemony,"
addresses ritual practices in the contexts of colonization and
decolonization across the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia, and
Oceania. Chapter 7, "Ritual Language and Sacred Labor in Greater
Mexico" (Jennifer Scheper Hughes), examines the origins, social
development, and contemporary forms of cargo, a system of sacred labor
in Mexico and Central America. Chapter 8, "Ritual Speech and Text in
Early Cherokee Christianity" (Margaret Bender, Thomas N. Belt),
analyzes the interplay between Indigenous and Christianized practices
of preaching, singing, ritual healing, prayer, and other ritual forms
within Cherokee society. Chapter 9, "Colonial Rule, Modernity, and
Rituals of Royal Power in Morocco" (Abdelmajid Hannoum), discusses the
colonial origins of the Day of the Throne ceremonies and their
contrast with older royal traditions in North Africa. Chapter 10,
"Ritual, Media, and the Here-and-Now of Decolonization" (Courtney
Handman), investigates colonial propaganda in Australia that contested
Papua New Guinea?s independence movement in 1956. Chapter 11, "Ritual
Language and Forced Confessions in China" (Magnus Fiskesj?), continues
the focus on propaganda in a contemporary setting, analyzing the
circumstances, ritual features, and social impact of forced public
confessions by prominent anti-government activists.
Part IV, "Ritual Language, Cosmology, and Identity," examines rituals
related to territorial belonging and social self-definition. Chapter
12, "Language, Ritual, and Political Legitimation in Colonial
Guatemala" (Sergio Romero), investigates pre-Christian rituals in
Central America and their reception by Spanish authorities and various
Christian figures. Chapter 13, "Indigenous Territoriality and the
Mediation of Space and Scale in Ritual Language" (Paul Liffman),
focuses on the Wixarika people of Mexico, highlighting their ritual
understandings of territory in the context of conflicts with
construction companies seeking to exploit their lands. Chapter 14,
"Affectivity and Repetition in Amazonian Ceremonial Welcoming
Dialogues" (Alexandre Surrall?s), explores the affective intensity of
communication during Amazonian welcoming rituals, which serve to
manage tension and establish a shared context among participants.
Chapter 15, "Language, Nahua Life-Cycle Rituals, and Indigenous
Identity" (Abelardo de la Cruz), presents testimonies and ceremonial
texts of Nahua ritual specialists that accompany individuals through
crucial life stages, from birth to death. Chapter 16, "Places That
Talk?and Listen: Southern Quechua" (Bruce Mannheim), examines Quechua
traditions of addressing places and living beings as communicative
entities, drawing on the ritual texts used in these practices.
Part V, "Ritual Speech and the Arts of Sociability," highlights the
ritual dimensions of everyday life. Chapter 17, "Drinking, Talking,
and Ritual Action" (Paul Manning), examines the traditions of toasting
and drinking in Georgia, including the institution of so-called sworn
siblings. Chapter 18, "Ritual Language and Police Discretion" (Sonia
N. Das), analyzes the ritualized features of police speech in contrast
to the anti-Black racist discourse of a man arrested for driving under
the influence. Chapter 19, "Ritual Language in West Africa:
Participation and Performance" (Nikolas Sweet), emphasizes ritual
participation and co-presence as important concepts for understanding
the sociological and anthropological contexts of West Africa. Chapter
20, "Language, Worldview, and Rituals of Daily Social Interaction"
(Sean O'Neill), investigates the expression of worldview in the
ceremonial speech practices of Native Northern California.
Finally, Part VI, "Ritual Language, Mediation, and Pluralism,"
examines ritualized interaction between different groups within a
society. Chapter 21, "Scalar Poetics in Ritual Language" (Adam Harr),
discusses the use of scalar poetics in the ritual register of the Lio
language (Indonesia), including its role in political speech. Chapter
22, "Rituals of Mourning and the Poetics of Papiamentu Talk Radio"
(Louis R?mer), investigates the contemporary use of "Kuenta di Nanzi",
trickster stories of Cura?ao, particularly in the context of
government criticism. Chapter 23, "Ritualized Learning and Endangered
Languages" (Morgan Siewert), addresses the ritual dimension of
language transition to the young generation, drawing on practices
among the Ojibwe people of Canada. Chapter 24, "Embodied Ritual
Performance and New Writing Systems" (Nishaant Choksi), explores the
emergence of new writing systems in Asia and Native America that are
closely connected to ritual practices, both visual and oral.
EVALUATION
"The Oxford Handbook of Ritual Language is a high-quality volume
presenting state-of-the-art papers in Ritual Studies. The collected
studies address various levels of ritual practices, from everyday
routines to royal ceremonies, and cover a wide geographical scope
across all populated continents. All chapters engage with pressing
issues such as social justice, identity formation, decolonization, and
pluralism.
It is important to note that although the studies in the Handbook
focus on language features, their approach is primarily
anthropological rather than linguistic. The boundaries between
neighboring disciplines can be difficult to draw, especially when they
share a common theoretical foundation, such as John L. Austin?s work
on performative utterances. Nevertheless, the authors in this volume
are concerned with higher-level language structures and engage with
cultural, contextual, intertextual, semiotic, and historical issues.
This is, of course, a fully legitimate approach. From a linguistic
perspective, however, I am convinced that the study of ritual language
could be further elaborated on lower levels as well. To illustrate
this, here are just a few examples of relevant works addressing
different levels of language: prosody (Adam 2025), lexicology
(Fagliolo 2024), and morphology (Zholobov 2017).
>From a structural point of view, it is noteworthy that David Tav?rez,
the volume?s editor and co-author, provides readers with introductions
to the subsequent parts. These sections not only situate the
contributions within contemporary concepts and the work of
major scholars in Ritual Studies, but also pay particular attention to
the authors of the Handbook and their previous work. This editorial
strategy makes explicit the logic underlying the thematic division of
the book, even though the topics inevitably intersect and certain
chapters resonate across different parts. For instance, Chapter 22
("Rituals of mourning and the poetics of Papiamentu talk radio"),
placed in Part VI, "Ritual Language, Mediation, and Pluralism," also
addresses issues of colonialism and social practices closely related
to Parts III and V. Such overlaps highlight the strong
interconnections between the sections of the book and contribute to
its overall coherence, even while it remains necessary to define
distinct thematic blocks.
The chapters of the volume rest on a robust methodological foundation.
The authors draw on classical scholars such as John L. Austin (already
mentioned), Mikhail M. Bakhtin, ?mile Durkheim, Claude L?vi-Strauss,
and Roman Jakobson, as well as on influential modern anthropologists
including Richard Bauman, James Collins, and Judith Irvine. Moreover,
the contributors are in dialogue with each other?s work, citing and
building upon their colleagues? research. This demonstrates both the
continuity of the anthropological tradition and the integration of the
present volume within it.
As already noted, the Handbook embraces a wide range of cultures
across the globe, including some that may be unfamiliar to general
readers. This breadth is certainly one of the book?s strengths. At the
same time, such a multiplicity of data may leave non-specialists
somewhat disoriented, leading them to conclude that rituals belong
primarily to religious life or to exceptional contexts of state and
political performance ? such as anti-colonial struggles, military
service, or propaganda. Although several chapters address rituals
embedded in everyday practices, readers without anthropological
training may find it difficult to recognize their own experiences in
these accounts. From my perspective, it would be valuable to pay more
attention to the ritual dimension of the most ordinary aspects of
life. While such topics are often self-evident to specialists ? the
primary audience of the Handbook ? they could serve as a bridge for
broader readership, helping to explain why rituals matter and how the
ritual life of different peoples can be compared. As an illustration,
one might recall studies on meal frequency (Lhuissier et al. 2013),
romantic relationships (Lindholm 2006), or exam-taking practices
(Rudski & Edwards 2007).
While one might raise minor questions regarding the methodological or
technical choices of individual contributors, these do not detract
from the consistently high quality of the studies presented. The
volume will be of considerable value not only to established scholars
in Anthropology, Linguistics, Religious Studies, Cultural Studies, and
Political Science, but also to students and researchers from diverse
backgrounds who wish to deepen their understanding of ritual.
Furthermore, the Handbook ? both explicitly and implicitly ? offers
numerous ideas for the study of cultures, traditions, ceremonies, and
social practices, providing ample inspiration for future research.
