Submission Deadline: 15-Oct-2026

The ethnographic and the semiotic are indelibly linked in linguistic
anthropology. Foundational voices in the engagement between linguistic
anthropology and semiotics make abundantly clear that we must ground
our analysis in actual events, in what we describe as “the
ethnographic” (Silverstein 1975, Silverstein and Urban 1996, Irvine
and Gal 2000, Agha 2007). And yet, ethnographers encounter a tension
when our analysis is of material from a culture other than our
own. This tension also requires that we turn a critical gaze onto our
own praxis, also acknowledging its extractive colonial past. While an
ethnographic praxis may allow us to evade what Davis (2017) describes
as linguistic extraction, or “the process of discussing languages and
[...] movements removed from the personal lives, communicative
practices, and embodied experiences in which they inherently are
embedded,” we nevertheless find ourselves more often speaking for,
rather than speaking with, our interlocutors. Hymes's Ethnography of
Communication since the 1960s/'70s has given us a helpful tool for
identifying the what of the ethnographic.
Adding to that, as linguistic anthropologist Michael Agar (2006)
argues, the ethnographic may be best defined as a kind of logic,
specifically an abductive logic informed by Peircean semiotics. The
“thick” description (Geertz 1973) that informs ethnographic writing in
anthropology seeks to explain phenomenon via abductive inference. The
Peircean semiotic lens which continues to be developed and refined in
linguistic anthropology offers a complex mechanism for this abduction
grounded in the observed speech events of the ethnographic how.
This panel explores the potential for semiotic conceptual frameworks
and is inspired in part by the work of Bernard Perley, Maliseet
linguistic anthropologist and artist, that invites both indigenous and
non-indigenous audiences to engage in the multifaceted, multivocal
complexity of indigenous being in the colonially-dominated world
through intertwined stories presented in both text and multimodal
installations. In particular, we draw attention to Keane’s notions of
semiotic ideologies and representational economies (2002, 2007), and
the recognition that we as scholars operate within such ideologies, as
tools for re-framing the presentation of ethnographic data to remove
the dominant (Western, subjugator, institutional, etc.) voice from the
center and place all participants in dialogue with one another.
Taking to heart Perley’s call for critical indigeneity, within which
ethnography is intended as a “catalyst for action” as a form of
engaged anthropology, and expanding this approach to consider a range
of complex intersectional identities encountered by linguistic
anthropologists, this panel asks what we can see through our semiotic
lens as we engage ethnographically with indigenous, immigrant, and
diasporic communities. When we look from a different center what do we
see? How might this perspective inform practice for ourselves and our
audiences?
We are seeking papers which reflect on the use of the conceptual tools
of semiotics and language and semiotic ideologies – in the
ethnographic project as an inherently reflexive process impacted at
all points by theoretical lenses. We welcome scholars at all career
stages to join us in this conversation.

Submission Deadline: 31-Oct-2026

The Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Austrian Geographical Society
cordially invite you to the XXIX International Congress of Onomastic
Sciences, Vienna [Wien], Austria, 16-20 August 2027, organized under
the auspices of the International Council of Onomastic Sciences
(ICOS).
The Congress theme "Names as condensed narratives" aims to highlight
the importance and relevance of names and naming while leaving enough
space for the whole variety of onomastic topics and scientific
approaches.
Names can be regarded as 'condensed narratives' about the person or
feature they denote, as well as about the name-giver(s). This can very
well be exemplified by place names. With them, the attribute
'condensed narratives' applies most typically to descriptive names
based on the assumption that every name has been given intentionally,
i.e. with the intention of highlighting an essential or striking
aspect of the feature.
The week from August 16 to 20, 2027, will be dedicated to keynotes,
paper and poster sessions. On Wednesday afternoon, a selection of
excursions will be offered. Active participants are invited to select
one of the following:
Vienna city tour by bus
Guided walking tour through the central part of the city
Visits to art galleries
Visits to the national library and museums
Additional excursions also during the rest of the week will be offered
to accompanying persons. A social dinner and a reception will
complement the program.

Job Location: Ithaca, NY, USA
Web Address: https://linguistics.cornell.edu/
Job Title: Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Linguistics
Job Rank: Post Doc
Salary: $68,000/year

Minimum Education: Ph.D.

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Historical Linguistics;
Phonology; Pragmatics; Semantics

Other Specialties: Sociolinguistics
Description:
With the sponsorship of the Society for the Humanities, the Department
of Linguistics invites applications for a two-year Mellon Postdoctoral
Fellowship position beginning August 1, 2027. The fellowship carries a
stipend of $68,000/year.
The Department of Linguistics seeks applications for a postdoctoral
fellow from scholars who take a linguistic approach to problems of
broad humanistic significance. Applicants might have expertise in any
number of subfields including historical linguistics, semantics,
pragmatics, computational linguistics, phonology, or sociolinguistics.
We would like to see candidates who can communicate with and learn
from both linguists and scholars in other fields, including
philosophy, literature (critical theory, poetics, metrics, gender
studies), history (post-colonial studies, prehistoric archaeology,
human population genetics) and anthropology (language documentation,
endangerment and revitalization, globalization studies).
Postdoctoral Fellows teach one course per semester. Candidates should
propose an introductory, 2000-level course designed to appeal to
students from across the University, and an upper, 4000-level course
designed primarily for Linguistics students and advanced
undergraduates in related fields. These courses should be conceived of
as smaller seminars and their topics should directly relate to the
candidate’s research and integrate linguistic methods in the subfields
of either historical linguistics, semantics, pragmatics, computational
linguistics, phonology or sociolinguistics with topics of more general
humanistic import.
Applicant Eligibility Requirements:
Applicants for the Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship for the 2027-28 and
2028-29 academic years must have received the Ph.D. degree after
August 1, 2023, and before June 30, 2027. Applicants who do not have
the Ph.D. in hand at the time of application must include a letter
from the committee chair or department stating that the Ph.D. degree
will be conferred before the term of the fellowship begins.

Deadline Extended
The abstract submission deadline has been extended to September 15th,
2026 (previously September 1st).
The outcome of the review process will now be communicated by October
19th, 2026 (previously October 2nd).
The PhD students of the Doctoral Program in Literary and Philological
Cultures at Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna are pleased
to announce the third edition of the Doctoral Conference of the
Department of Classical Philology and Italian Studies. The conference
invites participation from both PhD candidates and early-career
researchers. This edition focuses on margins and marginality across
the fields of Philology, Literature, Linguistics and Book Cultures.
Contributions may explore theoretical and methodological perspectives
(history of debates, critical approaches, influential positions)
and/or empirical analyses (significant or widely discussed case
studies).
The concept of margin lends itself to numerous reflections within the
Language Sciences, opening up theoretical and methodological
perspectives ranging, to name but a few, from applied linguistics to
sociolinguistics, morphology, and discourse analysis.
First of all, the margin can be associated with the concept of
marginality. The historical, political, and cultural dynamics of the
recent years have heightened the attention that the Language Sciences
devote to communities marginalized in relation to migratory phenomena.
One may think, for example, of acquisitional approaches or of the
study of the sociolinguistics of migration. The margin may also recall
the opposition between core and periphery. In discourse analysis, the
left and right periphery of the utterance are privileged sites for
observing phenomena related to information structure. In morphology,
the margin recalls the notion of periphery or word boundary: it is in
these spaces that one observes, at a cross-linguistic level, not only
the specialization of one margin for derivation and the other for
inflection (although deviations from this expectation are not
lacking), but also the locus in which elements originally external to
the word become fused with the lexeme, giving rise to new affixes.
Broadening the perspective to the sociolinguistic dimension, the
dialectic between core and periphery is reflected in the concept of
the diasystem, within which «quite distant ‘grammars’ may coexist»
(Grandi 2020: 417, our translation): in this sense, margins constitute
the ideal point from which to investigate varieties that diverge
significantly from the standard.
Finally, the margin may be understood as a boundary or limit.
Understood in a geographical sense, it is at boundaries that different
languages and/or language varieties meet, often giving rise to contact
phenomena, and it is in these same areas that allochthonous languages
are often present as a legacy of past historical configurations.
Understood instead as a limit, the margin recalls the underlying aim
of typological research, oriented toward determining the limits of
linguistic variation and identifying their motivations.
We therefore invite contributions from areas of linguistic research
that, adopting perspectives drawn from different theoretical and
methodological frameworks, investigate linguistic phenomena at any
level of analysis (e.g. phonology, morphology, semantics, lexicon,
syntax, pragmatics), either from a comparative perspective or through
the study of individual languages.
General Information:
PhD students and those who have obtained such title within the last
two years by the abstract submission deadline are invited to submit by
September 15th, 2026:
- an original paper proposal (maximum 350 words, excluding the title
and up to 10 bibliographic references)
- a short academic profile (maximum 100 words)
Proposals should be sent to the email address
convegnodottoraleclf at gmail.com, with the subject line “Abstract
proposal – Doctoral Conference”, specifying the relevant section
(Romance Philology, Italian Philology and Italian Studies; Classics;
Aegean Philology; Book Cultures; Linguistics). The body of the email
should include the following information: title of the contribution,
name and affiliation, email address for correspondence. Proposals, in
Italian or English, should be sent in both anonymized .doc(x) and .pdf
format; the short academic profile, together with the title of the
proposal, should be sent in a separate file. The outcome of the review
process will be communicated by 19 October 2026.
Each presentation will have a maximum duration of 20 minutes. Selected
speakers are required to present their contribution in person. All
thematic units are interdisciplinary, and individual panels will be
organized according to the principle of thematic or methodological
similarity. Keynote lectures are planned. The Scientific Committee
will consider the possibility of publishing the Conference

Submission Deadline: 15-Jan-2027

The Department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science at the University
of Delaware invites submissions to the workshop Morphology as Syntax 5
to be held at the University of Delaware on the 16th of April, 2027.
The goal of the Morphology as Syntax workshop series is to explore the
possibility of accounting for morphological phenomena within the
phrasal syntax. The question is whether it is feasible to have a model
of grammar with no separate component for morphology and no levels or
mechanisms other than those that are necessary for the phrasal syntax.
Description:
A fundamental question for theories of grammar is whether there is a
component of morphology that is separate from phonology and syntax.
The question is whether it is necessary to postulate a separate module
of morphology that has its own principles and operations, or whether
morphological phenomena can be reduced entirely to other modules, in
particular, the syntax.
Most current approaches to morphology do postulate a morphological
component of grammar separate from other components like the phrasal
syntax.  This is true even of approaches like Distributed Morphology
(Halle and Marantz 1993) which include a large role for syntax.
Distributed Morphology still has a post-syntactic morphological
component where operations take place that are not part of the phrasal
syntax.  Even Nanosyntax, which tries to drastically reduce the number
of non-syntactic operations, still has a post-syntactic process that
realizes abstract structures that are put together by the phrasal
syntax.
The goal of the Morphology as Syntax workshop series is to explore
whether it is feasible to have a model of grammar with no separate
component or operations for morphology.  All morphology will be
accomplished by a single component of grammar that puts all complex
items together, the morphosyntax.  Ideally, the only mechanisms and
principles that will be necessary are those that are independently
necessary for the phrasal syntax.  Some recent references arguing in
favor of such a conception of grammar include Koopman (2005), Kayne
(2010), Bruening (2018, 2026a, 2026b), Collins and Kayne (2023), Zyman
(2026).
We invite talks that address the question of whether it is possible to
reduce morphological phenomena entirely to the phrasal syntax.  Talks
that argue against the possibility of reducing morphology to syntax
are as welcome as talks that argue in favor, since it is important to
know what the challenges are for the overall research program.
Abstract Submissions:
Submissions are limited to a maximum of one individual and one joint
abstract per author or two joint abstracts per author. Abstracts
should be anonymous, written in English, and should not exceed two A4
or US letter pages (Times New Roman, 12pt font, single line spacing,
2.5 inches margins).  Examples and figures should be interspersed with
the text.
Please send your submission(s) to bruening at udel.edu by January 15,
2027. Notification will be provided by February 1st.
Talks will be allotted 30 minutes total (20 minute talk + 10 minute
discussion).

Abstract:

Dictionaries are complex, many-layered works: not only are they shaped
by the cultural discourses of their time; they also actively shape the
ways in which we perceive the world. Tracing a historical journey from
eighteenth-century Europe to the present day, the contributions in
this volume examine a rich variety of English and Romance
dictionaries. Whether monolingual or bilingual, general-purpose or
specialised, dictionaries emerge as indispensable components of the
dominant discourses that we so often take for granted. This book sheds
light on how dictionaries acquired this influential role.
Contributors are: Anna Anselmo, Marinela Burada, Daniele Franceschi,
Martina Guzzetti, Reinhard Heuberger, Gabriela Kompatscher, Hugo E.
Lombardini, Elisabetta Lonati, Natalia Peñín Fernández, Raluca Sinu,
and Ruxandra Vișan.
Readership: This book is of interest to scholars and practitioners in
linguistics, lexicography, and cultural studies, particularly those
working on the history of lexicography, historical sociolinguistics,
and book history.

Abstract:

Membership Categorisation Analysis (MCA) developed as a refocusing of
Harvey Sacks’ original analyses of categories, devices, and sequence
in talk-in-interaction. In building empirically an understanding of
membership categorisation practices as ‘culture-in-action’, MCA, and
this collection, opens up an attention to categorisation practices, in
all their forms, as means of doing ethnomethodology and sociology.
Indeed, MCA has become a prominent methodological and analytic
approach across the social sciences and a range of topics of study as
a powerful form of ethnomethodologically grounded inquiry. The aim of
this collection is to showcase the cutting edge of MCA research and
future new directions.
Readership: The book is primarily aimed at advanced undergraduates,
research students and MCA researchers. The book will appeal across the
social sciences as well as through engagement with individual
chapters.

Subject: The Handbook of Boredom in Modern Literature


Call for Chapters
The Handbook of Boredom in Modern Literature
Editors:
Mariusz Finkielsztein (University of Gdańsk)
mariusz.finkielsztein at gmail.com
Josefa Ros Velasco (Complutense University of Madrid) josros at ucm.es
The Handbook of Boredom in Modern Literature is to be a comprehensive
monographic study examining boredom as a central aesthetic,
philosophical, psychological, and socio-cultural category in the
history of modern literature. Rather than relying purely on abstract
theory, this volume approaches boredom through focused case studies
devoted to individual authors and their works. Across these chapters,
boredom—alongside adjacent states such as ennui, tedium, spleen,
acedia, melancholy, existential malaise, and affective
exhaustion—emerges variously as paralysis, protest, privilege,
illness, and spiritual crisis. By situating close textual readings
within the broader intellectual history of modernity, the volume,
written by a multidisciplinary group of authors, is to demonstrate
that literary boredom is a powerful diagnostic lens on social order,
temporality, and the modern subject's experience of meaninglessness.
Volume Structure & Epochal Scope
The volume is planned as a Handbook or Companion and covers not only
the most vital writers addressing the theme of boredom but also a
broad selection of modern authors (around 60 chapters). The book is to
trace the evolution of literary boredom across (tentatively) seven
historical and thematic phases:
- Early Modernity & Enlightenment Foundations: Early reflections on
existential void and social routine (e.g. Diderot, Laclos, Austen).
- Romantic Ennui (1770s–1840s): Melancholy, idealist frustration, and
the world-weary anti-hero (e.g., Goethe, de Staël, Senancour, Byron,
Chateaubriand, Constant, Stendhal, Sand, Balzac, Musset).
- The Superfluous Man: The Russian literary archetype of social
paralysis, alienation, and unfulfilled potential (e.g. Pushkin,
Lermontov, Goncharov, Turgenev).
- Bourgeois Boredom, Realism, & Decadent Spleen: Domestic stagnation,
industrial monotony, social entrapment, and aesthetic decay (e.g.,
Dickens, Flaubert, Tolstoy, Fontane, Chopin, Ibsen, Gilman, Conrad,
Chekhov, Baudelaire, Huysmans, Wilde).
- Modernist Stagnation (Early 20th C.): Temporal distortion,
consciousness, alienation, and metaphysical paralysis (e.g., Proust,
Joyce, Pessoa, Mann, Kafka, Woolf).
- Catastrophism & Existential Absurdity (Mid-20th C.): Totalitarian
dread, the absurdity of existence, and postwar existential malaise
(e.g., Broch, Platonov, Orwell, H. Miller, Gombrowicz, Sartre, Camus,
Beckett, Buzzati, Gracq).
- Postwar Emptiness, Consumerism, & Digital Fatigue: Mass society,
late-capitalist hyper-consumption, information overload, and
contemporary affective exhaustion (e.g., Moravia, Perec, de Beauvoir,
Ernaux, Bellow, Bernhard, Duras, DeLillo, Houellebecq, Ferrante,
Rourke, Moshfegh).
Chapter Guidelines & Scope
Each chapter must offer an in-depth analysis of the theme of broadly
understood boredom in the work of a single author (according to a
formula: Boredom in...). The title should include the name and surname
of a writer as a main part, and a freely formulated subtitle.
- Analytical Approach: Authors may focus on a single representative
work but should analyse boredom across multiple texts of an author to
demonstrate how boredom functions as a recurring motif in the author's
oeuvre.
- Target Audience: Written primarily for readers seeking to deepen
their understanding of boredom in a specific author's work (spoilers
are permitted), while remaining accessible to a general literary
audience. Comparative analysis with other writers should be kept to a
minimum.
- Required Contextual Elements:
o Biographical Context: Key details situating the writer within their
epoch. Where applicable, personal engagement with boredom (e.g.,
excerpts from letters, diaries) may be included.
o Socio-Cultural Context: Historical background necessary to
understand the specific societal structures depicting boredom (e.g.,
aristocratic class dynamics, marital systems, late-capitalist work
environments, author’s country history and socio-cultural context).
Submission guidelines:
The abstract of the proposed chapter (between 250-500 words) along
with a short bio (up to 150 words) and contact information should be
sent to editors via e-mail before the end of October 2026.
Contributors may propose up to two chapters. Each submission must
include a brief statement detailing: (a) how the chosen author's work
relates to boredom; and (b) what the contributor's expertise is on the
writer. The minimum criteria for inclusion of a writer are: the author
must address themes of boredom/ennui, possess at least some
international recognition, and be available in English translation.
Poetry is excluded.
The comments and decisions on the proposed chapters will be provided
before the end of December 2026. Then, the proposal for the book will
be sent to prospective publishers (Routledge Handbook Series, The
Oxford Handbooks, The Cambridge Companions or The Palgrave Handbooks).
In case of a positive answer from a publisher, the authors will be
asked to prepare the chapter, between 6,000 and 8,000 words including
footnotes and references. Technical information will be provided after
the publisher accepts the proposal and will depend on the publisher’s
style. In case of any doubts and/or questions, we encourage
prospective authors to consult the editors directly.
Prospective deadline for chapters: mid-2028

Abstract:

Many people use several languages and dialects in their daily lives.
What are the current scholarly models for and insights into this
stunning capacity of the human mind? The book discusses research into
multilingual practices and multiple language learning, from both
cognitive and sociolinguistic angles. Discussion focuses on the
repertoires of multilinguals and the processes of cross-linguistic
influence, transfer and convergence that are typically observed on the
levels of linguistic patterns and matter. Multilingualism is here
construed as a continuous, multidimensional phenomenon including more
or less linguistically similar subsystems evolving on different skill
levels depending on multilinguals’ needs and affordances. The most
important theoretical views that shape the field are discussed and
compared, and evidence from different contexts considered: tutored and
untutored learning, minority language settings, multimodal repertoires
with sign languages and multilingualism fostered by foreign language
instruction. Moreover, different types of learners are discussed, from
hyperpolyglots via bidialectals to ‘ordinary’ second language users.
The book scrutinizes scholarly insights and debates with respect to
their relevance for language policy and instructed language learning.

Abstract:

The lexicalization of property concepts (PCs) — basic adjectival
states such as big, small, hard, soft, black, white, fast, quick — has
long been a central concern of both typology and linguistic theory. In
historical Indo-European linguistics, PCs are most often examined
through the lens of the “Caland System”, a complex derivational
network of suffixes that structure the expression of such concepts.
Yet while the nominal and adjectival exponents of this system have
been intensively studied, their verbal counterparts remain
comparatively underexplored. This volume takes up that challenge by
asking: which classes of adjectives serve as inputs to verbalization,
what syntactic and semantic alternations emerge in these derived
verbs, and what do these patterns reveal about the status of
“adjectival roots” in Indo-European and beyond?
The contributions collected here investigate the morphology, syntax,
and semantics of deadjectival verbs across the older Indo-European
languages. By situating these formations within the broader typology
of adjective derivation, property concept encoding, and primary vs.
secondary verb formation, the volume forges new connections between
typological generalizations, theoretical models, and
historical-comparative evidence. In doing so, it not only illuminates
the dynamics of verbal derivation in Indo-European but also advances
our understanding of how the pathways from property concepts to verbal
predicates are structured cross-linguistically.

Abstract:

The present volume addresses the way in which multiword expression
resources are used in real-life downstream Natural Language Processing
applications, how they interact with neural architectures and
generative pre-trained language models and, more broadly, how
linguistic theory and computational modeling can inform each other. It
critically examines the properties of multiword expression resources
and their integration into – or exclusion from – contemporary Natural
Language Processing systems dominated by machine learning and Large
Language Models.

The University of Piemonte Orientale will host the International
Conference REINVENT – Representing Ecolinguistic Identity through
Narratives: Voices for ENvironmental Transition (Vercelli, 20–21 May
2027).
Drawing on a multidisciplinary approach, the conference aims to
highlight the fundamental role that linguistic choices and narrative
models play in shaping our attitudes towards environmental issues,
influencing perceptions of individual and collective responsibility,
and encouraging – or discouraging – the adoption of more sustainable
behaviours.
More specifically, the event seeks to bring together research that
contributes to the following objectives:
- Exploring, through multidisciplinary lenses and the perspectives of
diverse communities, cultures, groups and societies, the
characteristics of language and narrative regarding environmental
themes (e.g., climate change, drought, pollution, relationships with
the physical environment and other species, sustainability, etc.).
- Understanding how individual and social ecological identity is
constructed, emerges, and is (re)negotiated within dialogic and
narrative contexts.
- Investigating the impact of specific linguistic and narrative
choices on the perception of individual and collective responsibility
and their potential to foster sustainable practices.
- Examining how and to what extent narrative models and media
discourse shape public responses to global ecological challenges.
- Analysing how ecological narratives and discourse can inspire
learners of all ages – from primary school to higher education – to
lead ecological transformation by integrating environmental
storytelling and hands-on projects into formal educational settings.
Invited Speakers:
Valentina Bambini (IUSS Pavia), Maria Bortoluzzi (University of
Udine), Edoardo Lombardi Vallauri (Roma Tre University), Douglas
Ponton (University of Catania), Arran Stibbe (University of
Gloucestershire).
Call for Pa:pers
The call for papers is now open
(https://reinvent.uniupo.it/call-for-papers).
We invite proposals for contributions related to one or more of the
themes listed above.
Oral presentations will have a maximum duration of 30 minutes,
including 10 minutes for questions and discussion.
The language of the conference will be English, but proposals can
concern all languages.
Studies regarding Italian and/or including interlinguistic and
comparative perspectives are particularly welcomed.
Abstract Submission:
- Submissions (in English, in both Word and PDF formats) should be
sent to the organisers at reinvent2027 at gmail.com by 1 December 2026.
- The attached abstract must be anonymous, and should not exceed 500

The Collaborative Research Center 1629 "Negation in Language and
Beyond" (NegLaB) at the Universities of Frankfurt, Tübingen and
Göttingen reminds interested colleagues that the submission deadline
for NegLaB III is approaching. The workshop will be held at the
University of Frankfurt on 1–2 December 2026.
NegLaB III aims to advance our understanding of how the expression of
negation is cross-linguistically associated with grammatical and
non-linguistic cognitive operations. We welcome contributions on
phenomena related to negation across all areas of linguistics (syntax,
semantics, pragmatics, phonology, morphology) as well as language
acquisition, psycholinguistics, historical linguistics and
multilingualism. Submissions addressing the workshop's three thematic
domains are especially encouraged: (A) the syntax–semantics interface
of negation, (B) negation's interaction with other grammatical
categories, and (C) processing and cognition.
Submission guidelines: Abstracts should be anonymous, written in
English, and not exceed 2 A4 pages (Times New Roman, 12 pt, single
line spacing). Authors may submit at most one individual and one joint
abstract, or two joint abstracts. Please send abstracts to
neglab.crc1629 at gmail.com by 15 September 2026. Notification of
acceptance will be sent by 15 October 2026. Each accepted talk is
allotted 40 minutes (30-minute presentation + 10-minute discussion).

Subject: Panel at IPC20: Pragmatic Markers in Learner Language


Full Title: Panel at IPC20: Pragmatic Markers in Learner Language

Date: 27-Jun-2027 - 02-Jul-2027
Location: Helsinki, Finland
Web Site: https://pragmatics.international/page/IPC20Helsinki

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Discourse Analysis;
Pragmatics

Call Deadline: 15-Oct-2026

Call for Papers:
The key role that pragmatic markers (PMs) such as English actually,
well, you know, and I mean play in social interaction, collaborative
meaning-making, and successful communication is well known in a range
of different languages (Fischer 2006, Degand et al. 2022, inter alia).
PMs are essential to achieving communicative goals such as managing
interaction or expressing attitudes. What is far less well understood
is how language learners acquire and use PMs in an L2 or additional
language. The appropriate use of PMs has been identified as a hallmark
of higher proficiency in L2 learners (Sankoff et al. 1997), and yet
speakers often struggle to acquire PMs even after extended exposure
(Romero-Trillo 2002). Raising learners’ awareness of PMs and providing
explicit instruction have been shown to have a positive effect on
their use (for example, Sánchez-Hernández & Barón 2022), but PMs are
rarely taught explicitly, and they have not been systematically
integrated into mainstream teaching materials. The result of an
incomplete command or total absence of PMs is partial acquisition of
an L2/additional language, which risks negative consequences relating
to perceptions of naturalness and native-like competence of the target
language.
In this panel, we seek to bring together researchers working on PM use
in the language of non-native speakers in order to address fundamental
questions including, but not limited to:
- How do PMs in learner language compare with those employed by L1
speakers?
- What influence does a speaker’s L1 have (for example,
positive/negative transfer, borrowing) on the PMs that they use and
how they employ them in the target language?
- What innovations are observed in the way learners employ PMs in the
target language?
- What, if any, patterns are detectable in the order of PM acquisition
by language learners?
- How does PM use correlate with objective proficiency and/or the
subjective perception of competence?
- Which features of PM use may be language specific and which may be
universal?
- Which pedagogical interventions have a positive impact on the
acquisition of PMs by language learners and why?
- What role does prosody play in PM use by language learners?

Location: Salzburg, Austria

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Pragmatics; Semantics;
Syntax

Call Deadline: 15-Sep-2026

Call for Papers:
We are pleased to announce the fourth edition of the 'Current Issues
in Syntax, Semantics, and Pragmatics' workshop. As in the previous
years, the workshop will be part of the ÖLT (50th Austrian Linguistics
Conference), which takes place November 20-21 in Salzburg, Austria.

Linguistic Field(s): Discipline of Linguistics

Submission Deadline: 15-Sep-2026

Many linguists are familiar with the question of whether what they are
currently working on is really linguistics: Is that really
linguistics? Whether you acted passively or actively, you were either
asked the question or asked it yourself. It is a question that
presupposes a more or less clear definition of what linguistics
is—where it begins and where it ends. As Becher & Trowler ([1989]
2001) argue, disciplines are shaped by internal cultures and shared
understandings of what constitutes legitimate knowledge, which often
leads to clearly marked boundaries and resistance to new or
interdisciplinary approaches. Yet such a definition is far from fixed.
Like any other academic discipline, linguistics has undergone—and
continues to undergo—significant mutations and paradigmatic shifts.
>From the structuralist turn of de Saussure, to the generative
revolution led by Chomsky to the pragmatic turn inspired by Austin and
Searle and more recently to sociolinguistic and decolonial approaches,
the field has repeatedly redefined its boundaries and methods. These
transformations reflect not only theoretical innovation but also
evolving questions about what counts as valid linguistic inquiry. For
example, Barrett & Hall (2023: 259) argue that the question of what
linguistics really is “is repeatedly used by linguists to deny LGBTQ+
scholars access to public spaces” and can thus be considered as a form
of academic gatekeeping. According to them, opinions range from
naysayers to gatekeepers to bullies. This gatekeeping often overlooks
the productive impact of interdisciplinary engagement and
transdisciplinary challenges.
As linguistics intersects with fields such as anthropology, cognitive
science, gender studies, digital humanities, and contradiction
studies, it becomes possible—and necessary—to extend and reconsider
what counts as linguistic phenomena and linguistic practice. These
collaborations allow for richer, more inclusive perspectives that
benefit both theory and practice. Indeed, Is that really linguistics?
is often asked in a highly judgmental, harmful way and gives a
negative answer at the same time, where paradigms clash, where
boundaries are drawn. The question can be part of the hidden injuries
of academia that Gill ([2009] 2016) talks about. It can be an abysmal
question that determines hierarchical speaker positions and can be, or
is even meant to be, demotivating. The question may even put
respondents in a shameful situation. To what extent, then, is it
appropriate to contest the legitimacy of certain approaches as being
not really linguistics? For instance, rejecting discourse-analytical
methodologies or the study of internet language varieties on the
grounds that they fall outside the imagination of core linguistics
disregards how new modes of communication and identity are shaping the
very substance of language in use. These exclusions say more about
power and disciplinary politics than about intellectual rigor.
In any case, too little is said about Is that really linguistics? And
that is what we want to change.
However, while linguists not only encounter this complex question time
and again in their professional lives, a completely different
utterance often reveals outside views on linguistics: That’s too much
linguistics for me! This contrast between internal scrutiny and
external perception reveals how linguistics, like many academic
fields, is shaped by both self-definition and the need to explain
itself to those outside the discipline. Linguists thus constantly
oscillate between internal battles and the need to justify themselves
to the outside world. We see this as an interesting contradictory
constellation of everyday experiences that affects the subjectivation
of all linguists in different ways.
We therefore invite you to a hybrid conference that aims to be both:
an exchange of experiences and a reflection on how linguists position
themselves and are positioned by others. We are interested in
linguistic practices in the context of evaluating our own work and
thus also in a metapragmatic reality of linguistics.
We intend to create a space for sharing common experiences in
different subfields of linguistics and discuss implications and
practices that determine as well as shift the boundaries of what is
(not) considered linguistics. Additionally, we are interested in what
counts as a core of linguistics and what is located at the
interdisciplinary periphery of linguistics. For this, we invite
anecdotal as well as more theoretical and empirical talks—or a mixture
of both. However, we also invite advocates of this sentence to enter
into a discussion with those who criticize it. Let’s discuss the
question of whether something is linguistics, and also the assumption
that there can be too much linguistics! It is especially the tension
between topics being not linguistic enough and too linguistic that we
want to discuss together in a respectful framework.
The conference will take place at the University of Bremen, Germany,
in a hybrid way, and will be hosted by the U Bremen Collaborative
Research Platform Worlds of Contradiction (WOC) and is organized in
cooperation with DeMarg, European Research Network on Discourses of
Marginality and Marginalization. Unfortunately, we cannot reimburse
travel expenses. Abstracts can be submitted until 15. September 2026
and should not exceed 300 words (excluding references). The conference
itself will take place from the 3rd to 5th of February 2027. Abstracts
may be submitted in either English or German. A separate section is
planned for German-language papers that address the conference theme
within the context of German linguistics.

Semantics and Word Formation Workshop
Short Title: S&WF

Date: 13-Apr-2027 - 15-Apr-2027
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Meeting URL: https://www.upf.edu/web/glif/semantics-and-w-f-workshop

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Linguistic Theories;
Morphology; Semantics

Submission Deadline: 10-Dec-2026

The organizers are pleased to announce the "Semantics and Word
Formation" workshop, to be held at Universitat Pompeu Fabra on 13–15
April 2027.
Description:
In a classic paper on word formation, Hermann Paul (1896: 18) argued
that morphology requires an "Ergänzung durch die Bedeutungslehre"
'supplementation by a theory of semantics'. Nearly 120 years later,
Rainer et al. (2014: 33) concluded the introduction to the volume
"Morphology and Meaning" by revisiting Paul's call, noting that
although research on meaning in morphology had advanced considerably
since 1896, the field still presented ''a rather rugged and sparse
research landscape''. Since then, interest in the semantics of word
formation has continued to grow (see volumes such as Arndt-Lappe &
Plag, 2015; Bauer et al., 2015; Kotowski & Plag, 2023), accompanied by
increasing empirical scrutiny. Recent work has addressed a wide range
of topics, including the polysemy of derivational processes (Schulte,
2015; Plag et al., 2018; a.o.), semantic differences among rival
processes (Rainer et al., 2019; Huyghe et al., 2023; a.o.),
form-meaning mismatches (Valera, 2015; Lieber, 2023; a.o.), the
semantic transparency of complex words (Schäfer, 2018; Varvara &
Huyghe, 2026; a.o.), and the semantic organization (Fradin, 2020;
Sanacore et al., 2024; a.o.) and partial predictability (McNally et
al., 2024) of derivational paradigms. At the same time, although
several existing theoretical frameworks incorporate semantic
information into their accounts of word structure – including
Distributed Morphology (Harley, 2012), Construction Morphology (Booij,
2010), and Relational Morphology (Jackendoff & Audring, 2020) – their
respective treatments of derivational semantics have been subject to
criticism (see, e.g., Plag & Kotowski, 2023). Despite this growing
body of research, the overall impression is still that of a somewhat
fragmented field. Research on semantics and word formation has largely
progressed within disciplinary silos, with too little sustained
dialogue between researchers mainly concerned with meaning and those
mainly concerned with form.
This workshop aims to promote that dialogue by bringing together
researchers working from different theoretical, typological,
corpus-based, computational, and experimental perspectives. Through
intensive discussion of semantic challenges for morphological theory,
and challenges of morphology for semantic theory, it seeks to promote
critical engagement with a range of theoretical assumptions,
methodological choices, and empirical evidence.
We welcome submissions addressing (but not limited to) the following
topics:
- the nature of morphological meaning
- (non-)compositionality of word meaning (from semantic transparency
to lexicalization)
- many-to-many relationship between word/morpheme form and meaning
- semantic restrictions on morphological patterns
- semantic change in complex words (grammaticalization,
pragmaticalization)
- corpus-based and computational approaches to complex word meaning
- acquisition and processing of complex word meaning
Invited Speakers:
- Andrew Koontz-Garboden, University of Manchester
- Franz Rainer, WU Vienna
- Rossella Varvara, University of Turin
Abstract Submission:
We invite abstracts for either oral presentations (30 minutes + 10
minutes for questions and discussion) or poster presentations
(accompanied by a 2-minute flash talk). Abstracts should not exceed
two pages in length (A4 or letter size), using 11-point font and
1-inch/2.5-cm margins. A third page may be used for references, data,
and figures. Please indicate your preferred presentation format (oral,
poster, or either) when submitting your abstract. Each presenter may
submit a maximum of two abstracts: one as a sole or first author and
one as a co-author.
Please submit anonymous abstracts to ivan.lacic at upf.edu by December
10, 2026.
Important Dates:
- Deadline for abstract submission: December 10, 2026
- Notification of acceptance: January 20, 2027
- Workshop: April 13–15, 2027
Organizers: Louise McNally (UPF) & Ivan Lacić (UPF)

Experimental SLA: Connecting Research, Theory, and Language Teaching
(ExpSLA) is an in-person conference designed to foster exchange among
theorists, SLA researchers, language educators, and early-career
scholars. Its aim is to strengthen methodological literacy, encourage
interdisciplinary collaboration, and promote the integration of
experimental findings into both theoretical models and language
teaching practice.
Over the last three decades, empirical research in Second Language
Acquisition (SLA) has expanded considerably, accompanied by the
development of an increasingly diverse range of experimental methods.
Traditional tasks, such as grammaticality judgment, acceptability
judgment, truth-value judgment, and sentence comprehension tasks,
continue to play a central role in the field. At the same time,
advances in digital technologies have broadened methodological
possibilities through platforms and software such as E-Prime, Gorilla,
and crowdsourcing environments like Mechanical Turk. More recently,
researchers have incorporated online processing measures and
neurocognitive techniques, further enriching the methodological
toolkit available for investigating second language development.
ExpSLA explores experimental SLA as a key interface between linguistic
theory, empirical research, and language teaching. The conference is
grounded in the view that the relationship between theory and data is
reciprocal: theoretical frameworks guide the design of experiments and
the formulation of hypotheses, while empirical findings contribute to
the refinement, validation, and sometimes revision of theoretical
accounts of language. By foregrounding experimental methodologies,
ExpSLA seeks to highlight how rigorous empirical inquiry advances our
understanding of language acquisition and how these insights can
inform evidence-based language teaching practices.
As a forum bringing together scholars and practitioners from diverse
perspectives, ExpSLA provides opportunities to examine emerging
methodologies, discuss theoretical implications of empirical findings,
and reflect on the pedagogical applications of experimental research.
In doing so, the conference aims to strengthen dialogue across
disciplinary boundaries and promote a more integrated approach to SLA
scholarship and language education.
Researchers, educators, and graduate students are invited to submit
abstracts presenting original research related to the topic of the
conference. We particularly welcome contributions that explore the
dynamic connections among empirical investigation, linguistic theory,
and language teaching practice. Abstract submissions are due by
September 25, 2026, and should comply with the following submission
guidelines:
 - Abstracts should be written in English or French and not exceed two
pages (A4), in 12-point font, single line spacing and 2.5cm margins,
including examples, figures and references.
 - Abstracts should be anonymous.
 - Submissions are limited to a maximum of one individual and one
joint abstract, or two joint abstracts per author.
 - Each paper accepted for presentation will be allotted 20 minutes
plus 10 minutes for discussion
 - Authors are asked to submit their anonymous abstracts as a PDF file
to the following site:

16th International Workshop on Writing Systems and Literacy
Short Title: AWLL16
Theme: Writing systems as cultural tools

Date: 01-Mar-2027 - 03-Mar-2027
Location: Fujisawa, Japan
Meeting URL: http://faculty-sgs.tama.ac.jp/terry/awll/workshops.html

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Language Acquisition;
Psycholinguistics; Sociolinguistics; Writing Systems

Submission Deadline: 01-Nov-2026

Extending the Association of Written Language and Literacy’s (AWLL)
tradition of international conferences devoted to writing systems,
AWLL16 brings together researchers from diverse backgrounds to examine
writing systems as cultural tools.  In that spirit, this call invites
abstract submissions that address relevant research questions,
including (but not limited to) the following:
- To what extent do writing systems conform to language-universal or
language-specific principles when graphematically representing
particular languages?
- Are all writing systems equivalent in their potential for semantic
expression?
- What are the key aspects of learning needed to use (in both reading
and writing) different writing systems around the world?
- To what extent do writing systems embody cultural values (i.e., as
badges of cultural identity or as paragons of prescriptive
regulation)?
- How have different writing systems evolved in response to
technological innovations?
The 3-day program will feature a keynote talk, oral sessions and a
poster session, AWLL’s business meeting and conclude with a panel
discussion.  In addition to an open reception on the first evening and
an optional conference dinner on second evening, there will also be an
optional excursion to Kamakura on the following day.
Keynote speaker: Heather Winskel (James Cook University, Singapore)
Local organizer: Terry Joyce (Tama University, Japan)
Program committee: Terry Joyce (Tama University, Japan), Lynne Cahill
(University of Sussex, UK), Dorit Ravid (University of Tel Aviv,
Israel)
Important Dates:
First call for papers: 1 July 2026
Second call for papers: 1 September 2026
Submission deadline: 1 November 2026
Notification of acceptance: 1 January 2027
Submission Guidelines:
Applicants for both oral and poster presentations should submit
anonymized abstracts of no more than 300 words and an indication of
presentation preference as a Word file.  You may include up to three
references in addition to the abstract.  Oral presentations will be
for 30 minutes (inclusive of time for questions and discussion).

Abstract:

This book investigates inter-individual variability in the encoding
and decoding of prosodic prominence relations. Formally, prosodic
prominence relations are redundantly expressed by several acoustic
parameters, such as changes in fundamental frequency, duration, and
intensity. Functionally, prominence relations encode meaning, e.g.,
the information status of a word or referent. Both the formal and the
functional side of prominence facilitate inter-individual variability.
On the one hand, redundancy inherent in prominence marking enables
individuals to use different parameters in their production and
perception. On the other hand, differences in communicative skills may
influence which meaning aspects language users pay attention to and
how strongly they encode them.
In this book, inter-individual variability is analyzed in two
production studies and one perception study. Production data is
elicited in listener-directed reading tasks and analyzed using
prosodic annotation and acoustic analyses. Perception is probed via a
prominence rating task. Individual differences are explored via
careful descriptive inspection of the data and statistically via
cluster analyses. Results indicate that speakers differ in how
strongly they encode prominence relations, which parameters they use
to do so, and which meaning aspects they predominantly mark - which in
turn is partially modulated by their communicative skills. Listeners
also vary in their sensitivity to prominence cues.
These findings highlight the importance of looking at the individual
speaker or listener in prosodic research and allow for a new
perspective on established concepts in prosodic theory, such as the
dichotomy of tune and metrical structure, relationality and redundancy
in prominence encoding and decoding, and the probabilistic nature of
form-meaning mapping.

Abstract:

This monograph examines sources of variation in the grammars of
heritage speakers, focusing on word order in Turkish and Kurmanji
Kurdish as heritage languages in the contexts of majority German and
majority Turkish. By bringing together the relatively well-studied
case of heritage Turkish and the less extensively researched case of
heritage Kurdish, the study develops a comparative framework for
identifying mechanisms that shape heritage grammars. It evaluates
several explanatory factors, including cross-linguistic influence,
language-internal dynamics, and register. The analysis also moves
beyond a monolingual–bilingual contrast by including bilingual
speakers for whom Turkish serves as the societal majority language,
thereby shifting the focus from bilingualism per se to the role of a
language’s societal status as heritage or majority. In sum, the
findings demonstrate that register is a central factor shaping
variation in word order of heritage Turkish, whereas cross-linguistic
influence plays a more prominent role in heritage Kurdish. More
broadly, the study underscores the need to expand the empirical scope
of heritage language research to include a wider range of languages
and sociolinguistic settings, fostering closer dialogue with studies
of minoritized languages and multilingual language communities.

From: Ethan Kutlu [ethan-kutlu at uiowa.edu]
Subject: TAPA (Toolkit for Acoustic-Phonetic Analysis)


I am writing to share TAPA (Toolkit for Acoustic-Phonetic Analysis),
an open-source pipeline for extracting acoustic-phonetic measurements
from naturalistic, multi-speaker audio. The accompanying paper has
been accepted for publication in Behavior Research Methods.
 
Analyzing a single recording can be laborious. For researchers working
with long-form audio, or without a team of trained annotators, that
cost is out of reach, and current funding conditions have made the
bottleneck more pronounced.
 
TAPA links the stages of a standard acoustic-phonetic workflow, each
usable independently or replaceable with an alternative: audio
acquisition (from YouTube if needed), voice activity detection,
speaker diarization, transcription, forced alignment, vowel formants,
stop voice onset time, and fricative spectral moments. Output is
written as JSON and CSV, with a run summary recording which component
produced each measurement.
 
We name the toolkit TAPA inspired by the tapas culture. What starts as
sharing a meal made of small bites leads to long term relationships
and community building. We hope that TAPA can bring communities
together with the same spirit. 
 
Our manuscript reports validation against expert hand-coding on a
90-minute multi-speaker recording, downloaded directly from YouTube.
We want to highlight that TAPA is a tool, not a replacement for a
trained phonetician. Every measurement requires oversight. The current
release was validated on adult American English in a single recording
context. We are actively testing the toolkit with clinical
populations, developmental samples, and bilingual speech, and will
post updates on our Github moving forward. We welcome collaboration or
feedback from anyone working in these areas.
 
The toolkit is open-source, runs locally, and transmits no data
externally. Please note that the Google Colab version is not local if
you choose that route.

I am more than happy to provide a live tutorial for interested labs or

The Metagram seminar is a monthly seminar on questions of
grammaticography and metagrammaticography. The seminar takes place the
second Tuesday of each month, Feb-May and Sept-Dec, in hybrid mode.
Linguists who have written significant reference grammars are invited
to discuss their grammaticographical practices and experiences. They
are asked to address a list of topics, covering questions such as
structuring schemes, influences, use of exemplification, integration
of the corpus into the grammar. The seminar focuses on one language
family per year, in order to highlight differences in practices for a
linguistic area.

Subject: DDL (Lyon, France) Support for CNRS Job Applications


Each year, the French National Centre for Research CNRS launches a
call for applications for permanent full-time positions in research at
a junior level, usually including 3 positions in linguistics. This is
highly competitive (84 candidates last year). The positions are
generally advertised by mid-December, and the application needs to be
submitted by early January. Short-listed candidates are interviewed
between March and May, and the final results are published in July.
Knowledge of French is not a pre-requisite.
Applying requires a number of forms to be filled in, and a CV, a copy
of the (translated) PhD certificate, an extensive report on previous
research activities and an ambitious, long-term research proposal,
along with a selection of publications, to be uploaded. Candidates
need to identify their preferred research units for affiliation, and
it is better if these units can follow and support the application
process.
The research unit (aka “lab”) Dynamique Du Langage is based in Lyon,
France, and numbers about 50 members, many with an international
background. We explore the interface between the diversity of the
world’s languages and the universality of human linguistic capacity.
Our research lies at the heart of major challenges of our times: from
understanding language development in children and in language
pathologies, to issues of language documentation and vitality and the
investigation of the origins of language. The lab is structured around
two research axes. The DENDY (Development, Neurocognition, Disorders)
axis aims at investigating the development and cognitive processing of
language in a lifespan perspective. The DILIS (Linguistic Diversity
and its Sources) axis investigates the extent, origins and
consequences of linguistic diversity. We welcome potential applicants,
especially for the DENDY axis. Note that successful applicants are
expected to relocate to Lyon.
Potential applicants are encouraged to share expressions of interest
with DDL members well ahead of submission time, and no later than two
weeks before a meeting of our lab council. The next meeting will take
place on 30 September, with another one in late November or early
December. Please provide a CV and a brief summary of your project
(between half a page and two pages). On this basis, our lab council
will be able evaluate to what extent the proposed research fits into
our lab and decide whether we can indeed support you. Where

Dissertation Abstract:

Communication has never occupied such a pervasive and immediate place
in human life. The rapid development and diffusion of language
modeling and communication technologies has created conditions in
which linguistic interactions unfold within a dense web of social
settings, contextual signals, and digital platforms that continually
reshape language use. These conditions underscore the need for
foundational research on language use as it emerges from unprecedented
levels of complexity.
A central challenge for any such program is to develop a theory of how
context affects syntactic choices and semantic interpretation.
Moreover, this work must remain sensitive to the contextual pressures
distinctive to the modern communication landscape. As AI-driven
conversational agents become increasingly ubiquitous across industries
and online social networks evolve, novel communicative contexts are
continuously taking shape across scales. The emergence of these
contexts inevitably raises questions about the robustness of existing
findings across fields in which situated language use is a key
observable—including computational linguistics, media studies, and
computational social science. Such questions become especially
prescient as these new forms of communication are being introduced
into high-stakes domains such as health, politics, and law.
This dissertation advances this project by adopting complexity theory
as a meta-theoretical lens for pragmatics. As the study of meaning in
context, pragmatics offers a rich theoretical tradition and empirical
findings that illuminate how social and communicative contexts shape
linguistic form and meaning. However, methods for extending concepts
and measurements in the field in ways that support computational
analysis are still under active development. Adopting a complex
systems approach enables us to address this task by operationalizing
existing constructs in the field as measurable quantities, while still
preserving their theoretical commitments. This move also reflects an
ontological position that treats context as describing the broken
symmetries from which meaning emerges within the complex, adaptive,
and slowly-evolving system of signs and conventions which govern
language use. Each study accordingly identifies an invariance that
should hold if context were inert, and measures whether it does.
The dissertation's contributions unfold across three studies that
conceptualize context as operating on three scales—as a source of
instability, a site of cohesion, and a mechanism of decay. Beginning
with contextual effects on the order of single utterances, I present
original research on the pragmatics of state-of-the-art language
models, combining formal and statistical methods to provide evidence
that reasoning about context in modern AI systems exhibits fundamental
instabilities: theoretically inert discourse context destabilizes
model inferences, erases correlations with cultural stereotypes, and
does so, in a substantial share of cases, irreducibly. Moving to
group-level interactions, I present an observational study of Bluesky
Starter Packs providing the first platform-scale evidence for Clark
(2006)'s claim that communal common ground is graded, showing that
shared lexical repertoire grows with the number of topically distinct
communities two users share, independently of their proximity in the
social network. Finally, at the population level, I introduce an
exactly solvable mathematical model of communication as serialized
transmission over a noisy channel, showing that the fidelity with
which a population retains information about a source is governed by
the spectrum of the channel and the sparsity of the network through
which messages spread.

Subject: Announcing Archiving for the Future, Second Edition


1 September 2026
The Archive of the Indigenous Languages of Latin America (AILLA) at
the University of Texas at Austin is delighted to announce the launch
of the second edition of the free online textbook Archiving for the
Future: Simple Steps for Archiving Language Documentation Collections,
available at its new, dedicated website,
https://sites.utexas.edu/archivingforthefuture/, as part of the
University of Texas Libraries Open Books Pressbooks Publishing Network
at https://utexas.pressbooks.pub/archivingforthefuture/.
The textbook is a resource to aid people of all backgrounds in
organizing born-digital and digitized language materials and data for
deposit into any digital repository (not just AILLA) for long-term
preservation and accessibility. The target audience for this course is
anyone who is engaged in creating materials in or about Indigenous,
endangered, under-documented, or minority languages as part of
language documentation efforts, including language rights,
maintenance, and revitalization. It was designed particularly for
individuals or groups made up of academic researchers and/or
Indigenous or minority language speakers and community members, though
anyone may benefit from it. The curriculum follows simple steps to
guide participants through three phases of work to organize language
documentation materials for archiving, and it explains in detail what
to do before, during, and after data collection to facilitate the
long-term preservation of the data. The course is designed to be
informative, engaging, and accessible to anyone, especially to those
with no previous experience archiving collections of language
materials.
The course material is based upon work supported by the National
Science Foundation under Grant No. BCS-1653380 (Susan S. Kung and
Anthony C. Woodbury, PIs; September 1, 2016, to August 31, 2020). The
course is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0
International license,
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en.
The first version of the course will continue to be available at the
legacy Teachable site https://archivingforthefuture.teachable.com/
through 31 August 2027, though this site will not be updated. The
Teachable site will be discontinued on 1 September 2027.
This textbook is currently only available in English. Spanish and
Portuguese versions will be added to the website at
https://sites.utexas.edu/archivingforthefuture/ as they become
available.

Call Deadline: 28-Feb-2027

Since the start of history, human beings have proved themselves as
seekers yearning for an elusive and often mysterious good that will
answer our ultimate existential questions and help us find a sense of
purpose in life. Folk tales, legends and myths abound in the epic and
sometimes mock-heroic adventures of ordinary people and official
heroes who dedicate their quest to treasures made of gold, fame or
kingly power. What are the outcomes of their wanderings and brave
endeavours: contentment or restlessness? And when they have reached
their goal, do they feel fulfilled or are they ready to start a new
quest? As for Ulysses, the iconic traveller beyond “the utmost bound
of human thought”, will each achievement and the final homecoming
result in yet another mission “to seek, to find, and not to yield”
(Tennyson, Ulysses)?
If knowledge may finally liberate human beings from the traps of
ignorance and give us control of our living environments and life
choices, it is only wisdom that enables us make sense of the
overwhelming random diversity of human cognition and experience and
turn knowledge into a driving force of positive change (Gustafsson
2010). In fact, definitions of wisdom converge in identifying a
well-meaning intention and a virtuous action as its essential
characteristics: “wisdom involves using both one’s intelligence and
one’s creativity, as well as one’s knowledge base, for a common good.”
(Sternberg 2010, p. 5; see more definitions in Sternberg and Glück
2016).
Hence wisdom can be regarded as a form of performative knowledge, a
practical enactment and demonstration of learning (Perkins 2010): for
example, the wise virgins “brought flasks of oil with their lamps” to
keep them from “going out” (Matthew 25: 4-9, New American Bible); and
wise people will save their torches “when the sun and moon have risen
because it’s a waste of light!” (Chuang Tzu 2006: ch. 1); again, wise
people will recognize false prophets from their bad fruit and will
take care to avoid them (Matthew 7: 15-20), just like of “The great
master [who] follows his own nature and not the trappings of life/ It
is said, “He stays with the fruit and not the fluff”/ “He stays with
the firm and not the flimsy”/ “He stays with the true and not the
false”(Lao Tzu, ch. 38)
Different religious traditions and their holy texts describe wisdom
through a great variety of powerful images, drawing on nature, daily
experience, trading, policy-making and warfare (Dell and Keefer 2016;
De Roche 2022; Morrison 2024). These images have been arranged
erratically or methodically into stories, poems, riddles, letters,
prophecies, proverbs, dialogues and other genres of their own. Their
very text organization, narrative structure, language use, style,
inter- and intratextuality shape the way in which wisdom is seen to
operate and convey its high-stake or worldly lessons, about the
deepest meaning of life or commonsense recipes for success. The
discourse analysis of chosen pieces of wisdom can shed light on the
pragmatics of ‘wise sayings’: who is the addresser and what is their
status and positionality? Who are the addressees and how do they
relate to the addresser(s) and their words of wisdom? Is the response
of the community of that time one of faith, suspicion or scorn? And
what is the response of today’s community/ies? Are words of wisdom
still considered such and by whom?
This Special Issue welcomes papers integrating different disciplinary
perspectives and encouraging reflection on the following aspects:
 - The dialogue between faith and wisdom;
 - The relationship between wisdom and knowledge;
 - Contemporary views and re-readings of ancient wisdom;
 - Wisdom literature and wisdom genres;
 - Religious wisdom vs. secular wisdom;
 - God’s wisdom and human wisdom;
 - Wisdom variations within the same religion;
 - Comparative views of wisdom across faiths;
 - The culture-bound or universal nature of wisdom;
 - Translating wisdom across languages, cultures and times.
Before submitting a manuscript, interested authors are invited to
initially submit a proposed title and an abstract of 200-300 words
summarizing their intended contribution. Please send it to the Guest
Editor Dr. Cristina Pennarola (cpennaro at unina.it), or to the Assistant

Submission Deadline: 30-Nov-2026

Die Zunahme extremistischer Ideologien in öffentlichen wie
semi-privaten Diskursräumen stellt Gesellschaften vor erhebliche
Herausforderungen. Während die Inhalte extremistischer Positionen
prominent erforscht sind, bleibt ihre pragmatische Dimension – die
sprachlichen Vollzüge, Interaktionsmuster und multimodalen
kommunikativen Formate – ein dringliches Desiderat.
Vor diesem Hintergrund fragt die ALP-Jahrestagung 2027 danach, wie
extremistische Weltbilder im sprachlichen Handeln hervorgebracht,
gefestigt und verbreitet, aber auch destabilisiert werden können. Wir
freuen uns über Beiträge mit pragmalinguistischer Ausrichtung und
empirischen Daten aus unterschiedlichen extremistischen Milieus und an
der Grenze zwischen legitimem demokratischem, populistischem und
illegitimem extremistischem Sprachgebrauch. In Frage kommen digitale
wie analoge Situationen und Daten: Livestream und Kommentarspalte,
Telegram-Chat, Meme, Manifest und Tatschreiben ebenso wie
Kundgebungsrede und historische Flugschrift, dazu die Offline-Arenen
der Szenen.
Beiträge können sich unter anderem, aber nicht ausschließlich, in
folgenden Themenfeldern bewegen:
(1) Extremistisches Sprachhandeln und seine Wirkungen
(2) Implizitheit, Indirektheit und die Grauzone des Sagbaren
(3) Die freundliche Oberfläche: Normalitäts-Inszenierung,
Beziehungskommunikation und re-
aktanzarme Persuasion
(4) Invektivität, Hassrede, (Un-)Höflichkeit und Bindung nach innen
(5) Adressierung, Deixis und Kommunikationskonstellationen
(6) Gattungen, Formate und Multimodalität
(7) Gruppenstile und Register
(8) Begriffe, Methoden und Forschungsethik
Willkommen sind Untersuchungen zu dezidiert pragmatischen Phänomenen
im engeren Sinne –
Sprechakte, Implikaturen, Präsuppositionen, Deixis – ebenso wie
Arbeiten mit einem weiteren Pragmatikverständnis: interaktionale,
multimodale, diskurs-, sozio-, text- und medienlinguistische,
politolinguistische, rechtslinguistische, korpus- und
computerlinguistische sowie interkulturell-kulturvergleichende
Zugänge. Erwünscht sind theoretische wie methodenbezogene Beiträge und
Fallstudien – auch aus Nachbardisziplinen, ausdrücklich einschließlich
Gegenrede, kommunikativer Resilienz und Deradikalisierungspraktiken.
Wir möchten Sie herzlich dazu einladen, Ihren Beitragsvorschlag als
Abstract (max. 350 Wörter, exklusive Literaturverzeichnis) bis zum 30.
November 2026 an kontakt at alp-verein.de zu schicken. Weitere
Informationen zur Tagung und zur ALP e.V. sowie den vollständigen Call
for Papers finden Sie auf unserer Internetseite (www.alp-verein.de).

Abstract:

This collected volume combines firmly-grounded theoretical
perspectives with historical empirical data from different West
Iberian languages (Portuguese, Galician, Asturleonese and Spanish) to
deepen our understanding of linguistic divergence in typologically
related languages.
It is divided into four sections: nominal, verbal and clausal domains,
negation and polarity. While varied in their theoretical approach,
contributions all serve to examine different aspects of the
overarching issue of divergence and how current theoretical frameworks
help us understand what factors can account for the actuation changes
in West Iberian languages.
The book closes with a reflection on various findings about
divergence(s), underscoring the importance of incorporating West
Iberian languages in revisiting long-standing issues and broadening
the empirical evidence available for ongoing research on linguistic
theories of language change.

Submission Deadline: 08-Sep-2026

Confirmed Speakers:

Sandrine Zufferey (University of Bern)
After the successful workshop Social Meaning and Grammar, which took
place in Zürich in February 2026
(https://www.ds.uzh.ch/de/tagungen/social-meaning-and-grammar.html) we
are now moving on to the second round. The term ‘social’ plays a
central role in the acquisition and learning literature in general
(e.g., in broad topics such as social cognition, shared
intentionality, and theory of mind). Our workshop aims to focus on
social aspects of acquisition from a more specific perspective: How
are phenomena of social meaning acquired and learned by both children
and adult learners across the lifespan?
At a conceptual level, the question is to what extent the acquisition
of social meaning falls into the domain of semantics or pragmatics. In
particular, the domain of modality seems to be relevant in the context
of semantics. Deontic modality, for instance, is concerned with
whether something is necessary or possible on the basis of social or
moral rules and regulations. Deontic meaning is acquired by children
based on a better understanding of the social consensus regulating
issues of authority, duty, commitment, and power (Papafragou 2021). In
the context of pragmatics, the question is to what extent differences
in social status (e.g., power, gender) are reflected in children's use
of different speech acts (e.g., direct vs. indirect) and politeness or
discourse markers, and how these social meanings are acquired
(Zufferey 2015).
As for specific empirical domains, recent research has focused on the
acquisition of morphosyntactic means in requesting strategies (Reimer
& Trotzke 2026), but also on ways of expressing politeness via
multimodal means (e.g., body movements and gestures; Hübscher et al.
2022)—and how these strategies are acquired in children (Pronina et
al. 2021).
Although young children already show linguistic reflexes in response
to different social situations (including variations in social
distance and imposition), acquisitional data indicate that an
adult-like competence is attained rather late (see Reimer & Trotzke
2026). Furthermore, as adult speakers use a range of speaking styles,
particularly in situations of social contact, bilingualism, and
migration, changes can be observed across the lifespan (see Sharma
2024, 2025).
We seek contributions from a wide range of linguistic subfields,
including but not limited to:
- L1 and L2 acquisition of social meaning and relevant linguistic
forms
- Acquisition of social meaning across the lifespan
- Acquisition of modality as connected to social meaning
- Acquisition of speech act meaning or pragmatic inferences as
connected to social meaning
- Multimodal aspects of social meaning and how they are acquired
- Acquisition of politeness markers (e.g., morphology, particles,
pronouns) in a cross-linguistic perspective
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:
https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/SocMean2/

Dates: 13–14 November 2026

Keynote speaker: Adam Ledgeway, Professore Ordinario di Linguistica
italiana, Università di Bergamo.
Convenors: Adina Dragomirescu, Alexandru Nicolae
This workshop is part of the Annual Conference of the Department of
Linguistics of the University of Bucharest. It is devoted to Romanian
as seen from a typological and Romance-comparative perspective, with
particular attention to the grammatical features that define its place
within the Romance family and, more broadly, within the typological
landscape of the languages of the world. The workshop aims to bring
together formal, typological, comparative, dialectal, and diachronic
approaches to Romanian grammar, encouraging discussions on how
Romanian converges with and diverges from other Romance languages and
varieties.
Within the workshop, submissions are invited for 30-minute oral
presentations – 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for
discussion – dealing with Romanian grammar from a typological and
Romance-comparative perspective. Topics may address any area of
Romanian and Romance syntax, morphology, morphosyntax, and their
interfaces, including but not limited to: nominal structure, the
article system, gender and number marking, agreement, case, pronominal
systems, possession, word order, clausal architecture, subject
expression and null subjects, negation, complementation,
subordination, coordination and comitative structures, ditransitive
constructions, passive and causative constructions, reflexive and
reciprocal marking, copular, auxiliary and semi-auxiliary verbs,
interrogative structures, comparative constructions, diminutives,
politeness systems, etc., and the syntax–semantics and
syntax–morphology interfaces.
A typological and/or Romance-comparative perspective is strongly
encouraged. Priority will be given to proposals that investigate
Romanian in relation to other Romance languages or varieties,
including dialectal and historical varieties, as well as to papers
that explore the typological profile of Romanian, the historical
development of relevant grammatical features, or the theoretical
implications of Romanian data for Romance linguistics and linguistic
typology.
The workshop builds on a long-standing tradition of syntax-oriented
meetings on linguistic variation organized in Bucharest within the
Annual Conference of the Department of Linguistics. It follows a
series of workshops devoted to synchronic and diachronic variation,
including Diachronic Variation in the Syntax of Romanian (2012),
Current Issues in Linguistic Variation (2014), Syntactic Variation in
Romance (2018), and the Third Bucharest Workshop on Formal Approaches
to Romance Microvariation (2019). In this context, Romanian in the
Romance Typological Landscape aims to further develop the dialogue
between formal syntax, Romance comparative linguistics, dialectology,
and historical syntax.

Historical Linguistics; Language Acquisition; Sociolinguistics

Call Deadline: 30-Sep-2026

Call for Papers:
Desde el impulso que el trabajo de Landry y Bourhis (1997) dio al
campo de estudio del paisaje lingüístico (PL), la disciplina ha venido
experimentando una constante expansión de los fenómenos que suscitan
el interés de los investigadores. Más allá de ser un reflejo de la
diversidad lingüística existente en la comunidad que habita el espacio
estudiado, el PL constituye una valiosa herramienta para analizar la
interacción entre lengua y sociedad por medio de una variedad de
fenómenos como el multilingüismo, el contacto de lenguas o la
estratificación social.
Si bien nos encontramos hoy en día ante una disciplina consolidada,
todavía persisten algunas cuestiones metodológicas sobre las que no
existe consenso, como pueden ser la unidad de análisis y la matriz de
variables aplicables al corpus, a causa del enfoque multidisciplinar
adoptado y de la creciente atención al paisaje semiótico, que ha
contribuido a ampliar la mirada más allá de los elementos
estrictamente lingüísticos. Así, con la incorporación del análisis de
los recursos visuales, materiales y espaciales que participan en la
producción de significado en el espacio público, se pone de manifiesto
que el objeto de estudio que nos ocupa es multimodal. Asimismo, la
diversificación de los centros de interés de la disciplina apunta
hacia la inclusión cada vez mayor de fenómenos y técnicas de análisis.
Estas perspectivas revelan nuevos retos en la investigación sobre cómo
los signos del PL modelan y, a su vez, son moldeados por la sociedad.
Por todo esto, esta sesión se plantea como un espacio de encuentro
para investigadores interesados en la construcción simbólica del
espacio público, entendido este como escenario en el que se configuran
identidades y se manifiestan dinámicas de poder, con el fin de
presentar aportaciones rigurosas a este campo de estudio, explorar los
avances más recientes y difundir perspectivas emergentes. Para ello,
se invita a presentar contribuciones que aborden, entre otros, alguno
de los siguientes aspectos:
 - Análisis del PL sonoro
 - Aplicación de modelos estadísticos al análisis del PL
 - Aplicación del PL al ámbito de la educación
 - El uso de la IA en la investigación sobre PL
 - Estudio diacrónico del PL
 - Impacto de las políticas urbanas en la configuración del PL
 - Interrelación de recursos semióticos en el PL
 - Intersección entre PL e historia
 - Investigación sobre el PL en el medio rural
 - La (in)visibilidad de las minorías lingüísticas en el PL
 - La interrelación entre el PL físico y el PL virtual
 - Metodología de la clasificación de los signos del PL
 - Metodología de la selección de las áreas de estudio
Objetivos:
1.      Fomentar el intercambio académico en torno al análisis del PL
desde una diversidad de contextos y propuestas metodológicas
rigurosas.
2.      Ofrecer un foro para explorar nuevas posibilidades de
investigación del PL, así como los desafíos que pueden surgir
derivados de estas, y reflexionar sobre cómo los avances tecnológicos
ofrecen oportunidades de estudio novedosas.
3.      En línea con lo anterior, identificar y evaluar herramientas
metodológicas que puedan atajar los desafíos planteados por la
ampliación del alcance de la disciplina.
4.      Promover la discusión crítica acerca de cómo el PL visibiliza
la diversidad de actitudes lingüísticas, la existencia de jerarquías y
conflictos lingüísticos, y los efectos lingüísticos de los movimientos
migratorios.
5.      Analizar el impacto de la globalización sobre la configuración
de los espacios y la mercantilización de las lenguas.
6.      Estimular la colaboración entre investigadores del PL desde un
punto de vista interdisciplinar que integre la lingüística con ámbitos
como la sociología, la historia, la geografía, la antropología, la
educación, el arte y el urbanismo, entre otros.

Panel description:
Interpersonal pragmatic approaches to human-AI interaction
Convenors:
Marta Andersson (Uppsala University)
Thomas C. Messerli (University of Basel)
Call for Papers:
Generative AI chatbots have created a new domain of language use,
where users increasingly engage with LLMs as quasi-social others
(Andersson 2025 and references therein).  Today’s LLM-powered chatbots
produce speech acts, perform relational work, and display
interactional patterns that resemble human communicative behaviour
while diverging from it in systematic ways (Andersson & McIntyre 2025;
Hu et al. 2026; Lazebnik et al. 2025). Users respond to and reshape
these patterns, giving rise to new forms of discursive and pragmatic
practice (Elsweiler et. al, 2025; Kirk et al. 2025).
While research on AI-language has begun to emerge across disciplines,
interpersonal pragmatics (see, e.g., Haugh et al. 2013; Locher 2013;
Locher & Watts 2005) is only beginning to address this new
interactional domain. However, human-AI interaction raises fundamental
questions of importance not only for our engagement with artificial
agents, but also core pragmatic concepts. What does relational work
look like when one participant is simulating it? How are identities
constructed (in the sense of Bucholtz & Hall, 2005) when one
interlocutor is not typically thought of as having social objectives
or being held accountable for interpersonal discourse? How do social
and discursive norms emerge and shift in a context where interactional
behaviour is shaped by training data, reinforcement learning and
optimization for user alignment rather than lived experience? What are
the consequences of sustained engagement with AI for users’ own
pragmatic practices in human-human contexts?
This panel positions human-AI interaction not just as a new site for
familiar pragmatic phenomena, but also a testing ground for
interpersonal pragmatics specifically. As chatbots systems become more
personalized and socially consequential, human-AI communication
invites us to revisit concepts such as relationality, identity,
participant roles, and face under new conditions, in which AI
increasingly enters the social and psychological space once reserved
for human connection (Andersson 2025; Kirk et al 2025). Our panel
brings together scholars who address human-AI interaction from an
interpersonal pragmatic perspective. By human-AI interaction, we
broadly refer to any type of engagement between human interlocutors
and generative artificial intelligence. This includes conversation- or
discourse-analytic perspectives, as well as competence-focused
approaches or those zooming in on more isolated pragmatic patterns. We
welcome contributions that examine the pragmatics of human-AI
discourse in any language. Topics include but are not limited to:
 - (im)politeness and face management in human-AI interaction
 - relational work (reciprocity, asymmetry, participation) by and
towards AI systems
 - identity construction, self- and other-positioning in human-AI
conversation
 - pragmatic accommodation and convergence between humans and AI
 - speech acts in human-AI discourse
 - perception of and stance towards pragmatic and linguistic abilities
of AI chatbots
 - cross-linguistic and multilingual perspectives on human-AI
interaction
We encourage contributions on human and AI language within
interaction, rather than AI-generated language in isolation. Empirical
approaches grounded in corpus data, experimental designs, and
conversation-analytic or discourse-analytic methods are particularly
welcome. We also invite contributions that reflect on the theoretical
implications of human-AI interaction for interpersonal pragmatics as a
field.

Panel at IPC20 - Risk Discourse and Sustainability
Short Title: IPC20
Theme: Risk discourse and sustainability

Date: 27-Jun-2027 - 02-Jul-2027
Location: Helsinki, Finland
Meeting URL: https://pragmatics.international/page/IPC20Helsinki

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Discourse Analysis;
Pragmatics; Semantics; Text/Corpus Linguistics

Submission Deadline: 15-Oct-2026

We are pleased to invite submissions for a panel on the theme of Risk
discourse and sustainability.
Recent work has stressed the need for Risk Discourse as an approach in
discourse analysis and pragmatics (e.g. Ädel & Östman, 2023; 2025;
forthc.). ‘Risk discourse’ has been defined as referring to “texts,
whether spoken, written or signed, that are concerned with matters of
risk and related concepts (such as security and safety), whether
involving experts and/or lay people, whether explicitly or implicitly
dealt with, whether synchronously or asynchronously communicated, and
whether framed as relatively negative or positive risk” (Ädel &
Östman, 2025, p. 743). Risk Discourse has been discussed based on
different languages, through different types of linguistic analyses,
and in relation to concepts like responsibility and ideology. In this
panel, we would like to explore the concept of sustainability in
relation to Risk Discourse.
Existing research on risk clearly foregrounds the ‘harm’ dimension,
but there is another important side of the concept, viz. the ‘gain’
dimension of risk, which appears to be key particularly in a
sustainability context. Sustainability as a concept raises our
awareness that risks that are ignored are likely to lead to ‘harm’
and, conversely, risks that are dealt with are likely to lead to
‘gain’. Essentially, sustainability can be seen as based on the idea
that the right kind of risk mitigation and risk management will lead
to a positive outcome for society at large.
Both risk and sustainability involve a contrast between the present
and the future. A risk is prototypically seen as something which may,
but need not, happen. Participants in risk scenarios need to be
mindful of potential futures that involve ‘harm’ or that involve
‘gain’. Sustainability also implies a focus on potential futures,
through the general goal to meet the needs of the present in ways that
do not to compromise the needs of future generations. Here we also see
the need to be attentive to hypothetical futures that involve ‘harm’
or ‘gain’.
For this exploratory panel, we invite presentations on all aspects of
sustainability in relation to aspects of risk, whether ‘harm’-oriented
and/or ‘gain’-oriented. We especially welcome projects that consider
not just negative, but also positive aspects of risk. Contributions
may cover for example issues of climate change, the revitalization of
and threat against minority languages and peoples, metaphorizations of
risks and sustainability, aspects of responsibility in relation to
risks and sustainability, and more theoretically the very concept of
sustainability in (and outside of) language studies.
Interested researchers are invited to submit an abstract (250-500
words) through the conference website
(https://pragmatics.international/page/CfP2027) by 15 October, 2026.
When submitting the abstract, please ensure that you select the panel
"Risk discourse and sustainability".

Abstract Submission Extended to 14 September 2026
The Department of General Linguistics at Stellenbosch University is
proud to be hosting the 14th Southern African Microlinguistics
Workshop (SAMWOP-14) from Wednesday 2nd December to Friday 4th
December, 2026.
SAMWOP is an annual event that brings together linguists working in
the area of Southern African microlinguistics (broadly defined as
linguistics which focuses on the structure of language as opposed to,
for example, its sociological or educational role in society). This
includes researchers based in Southern Africa working in various areas
of theoretical and general linguistics, including phonetics,
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics, as well as
those based elsewhere working on e.g. South African Bantu languages,
Afrikaans and Khoisan languages, as well as other
(sub-Saharan/southern) African languages.
SAMWOP provides an opportunity for longer presentations and in‐depth
discussion, with no parallel sessions, and with both 1 hour and 1/2
hour slots available (the latter being earmarked primarily for
students). The workshop fosters a friendly and collaborative
atmosphere with a flexible setup and room for informal discussion.
SAMWOP is an important forum for research and networking, especially
for junior researchers and students. There is no conference fee.
Submission Instructions:
SAMWOP-14 will be a solely in-person workshop. We invite abstracts for
long presentations (40-minute talks followed by 15 minutes of
discussion) and also for short presentations (20-minute talks followed
by 5 minutes of discussion, earmarked for students) on any aspect of
the phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and/or
pragmatics of one or more southern African language(s).
Abstracts should not exceed 500 words. This includes data and
references. Each author may submit no more than one single-authored
and one co-authored abstract, or two co-authored ones. Abstracts must
be anonymous. Submissions should be submitted via EasyAbs
https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/SAMWOP-14/ by 14 September
2026 at midnight (CAT).

Human communication relies on multiple modalities that jointly convey
meaning and support interaction. Yet communication often occurs under
non-ideal conditions, where channels are degraded, absent,
technologically transformed, or replaced, as in noise, remote
communication, sign language, clinical conditions, or interactions
with avatars and socially interactive AI. We invite contributions on
multimodal communication involving speech, gesture, gaze, facial
expression, sign language, and written–spoken interaction. Topics
include adverse conditions, avatar-mediated communication, and
communication in underrepresented populations, including clinical
groups, blind and/or deaf speakers, individuals with dementia,
second-language speakers, and multilingual communities, with
particular attention to how communicative functions are reorganized
when channels are constrained, altered, or transformed.

                     Spanish (spa, stan1288)

The 4th edition of LingCor: Workshop on Spoken Corpus Linguistics will
take place at the Institut für Romanistik of the Humboldt-Universität
zu Berlin from the 5th till the 7th October 2026. It builds on three
previous editions held at the Universitat de València (2018), the
Universitat d’Alacant (2019), and the University of Vienna (2024),
continuing an established international forum dedicated to spoken
corpus research. LingCor aims to bring together researchers working
with spoken corpus data in order to advance methodological innovation,
foster cross-linguistic comparison, and strengthen collaboration in
the field of spoken corpus linguistics. While the workshop has a
particular focus on Romance languages and varieties, contributions
from other linguistic contexts are equally welcome.
The workshop pursues two main objectives. First, it seeks to promote
empirically grounded research on spoken language across domains such
as morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonetics and phonology, as
well as variationist and quantitative approaches. Second, it provides
a platform for discussing best practices in spoken corpus
construction, including data collection, sampling strategies,
sociolinguistic and dialectal stratification, transcription,
labelling, and annotation.
By explicitly connecting analytical research with questions of corpus
design and infrastructure, LingCor aims to strengthen methodological
standards in spoken data research and to foster sustainable
international cooperation in this rapidly developing field.
The book of abstracts and the provisional program (as of September
1st, 2026) are available for download here:

Submission Deadline: 04-Oct-2026

The 35th edition of the Conference of the Student Organization of
Linguistics in Europe (ConSOLE) will be held 27-29 January 2027 at the
University of the Basque Country (EHU) in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.
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
We invite abstract submissions for both oral presentations (20-minute
talk plus 10 minutes for questions and discussion) and poster
presentations. We welcome abstracts from a broad field of linguistic
subfields (e.g., phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
pragmatics, language acquisition, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics)
and methodologies (e.g., computational, experimental, fieldwork,
theoretical).
The theme of this year's ConSOLE is "Grammar at the interface". We aim
to bring together diverse opinions and approaches to linguistic
research that look at the interactions between different areas of
language. This includes well-known interfaces between different
subfields of linguistics, such as the syntax-semantics or the
phonetics-phonology interfaces, but may also be understood as
interfaces between domains, modalities, or disciplines as well.
Studying a topic from more than one perspective, synthesizing methods
from different fields, or observing interactions between separate but
connected phenomena in many cases allows for deeper insights into the
object of study, especially given the complexity and multifaceted
nature of language. Interfaces can also be rich testing grounds for
linguistic theories. For instance, phonological processes that have
been seen to be sensitive to syntactic structure may leave clues as to
the nature of syntactic spell-out operations. Studies of multilingual
populations often reveal features of not only the language but also of
the social structures in which speakers find themselves.
Some questions inspiring this debate might be: Which phenomena involve
an interplay between different modules of language? Which model of the
relation between different modules can account better for these
phenomena? Are there parallelisms between the structures of two
components of language which converge at an interface? Or are
intermediate rules necessary to move from one system to another? What
is the psychological reality that lies behind interfaces among
modules? Are there neural correlates?
This year's edition will also include a pre-conference workshop (27
January) covering the topic of early acquisition of language,
regarding oral and manual modalities within typical or neurodivergent
development. The study of acquisition provides an empirical grounding
to theoretical analyses of grammatical phenomena by testing whether
they are compatible with the observed stages of development and
productions of children acquiring language. In addition, these studies
give light as to the psychological mechanisms that guide both
acquisition and processing of language. The invited speaker for this
session will be Arrate Isasi-Isasmendi (IKER, UMR5478-CNRS & UPPA),
who is currently in charge of a research project focusing on the
acquisition of different aspects of the grammar of Basque in bilingual
contexts. In this spirit, for the workshop, we invite contributions
dealing with the development of any of the modules of grammar during
the early stages of acquisition of one or more first languages, with a
particular attention to development in bilingual or multimodal
contexts. As in the main session, we invite submissions for both oral
and poster presentations.
We welcome submissions that relate to these topics from any
theoretical perspective and from any area of linguistics.
Keynote Speakers:
- Karen De Clercq (LLF, UMR 7110-CNRS & Université Paris Cité)
- Jeroen Van Craenenbroeck (KU Leuven & Meertens Institute)
- Arrate Isasi-Isasmendi (IKER, UMR 5478-CNRS & UPPA)
- Pilar Prieto (ICREA & Universitat Pompeu Fabra)
- Evripidis Tsiakmakis (University of the Basque Country, EHU)
Submission Instructions:
- Only original research that has not been published or accepted for
publication at the time of submission can be presented.
- The 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 oral or poster
presentation (or for both).
- Abstracts must be submitted in PDF format. The files must be
anonymous and not reveal the identity of the author(s) in any form (be
sure to remove metadata from the file).
- Abstracts are limited to a maximum of 2 A4 pages (including
references, examples, tables, appendices, etc.) and must have 1.5 cm
margins on all sides, with a font no smaller than 12pt set in Times
New Roman (or a similar font).
- Abstracts not complying with these guidelines may be excluded from
the reviewing process.
- Authors are asked to submit their abstracts here:
https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/ConSOLE35/

Subject: Studia Romanica Posnaniensia - "Special Issue: Lingüística de corpus aplicada al estudio del español" (Jrnl)


Journal: Studia Romanica Posnaniensia
Issue: Lingüística de corpus aplicada al estudio del español
Call Deadline: 15-Jan-2027

La revista "Studia Romanica Posnaniensia" abre la convocatoria para el
envío de propuestas de artículos para el monográfico 55/1, coordinado
por Raúl Fernández Jódar y Brygida Sawicka-Stępińska, y cuya
publicación está prevista para marzo de 2028.
La lingüística de corpus se ha consolidado en las últimas décadas como
una de las metodologías más relevantes para el estudio empírico de las
lenguas. El desarrollo de grandes corpus digitales, así como de
herramientas de anotación y análisis cada vez más sofisticadas, ha
permitido abordar fenómenos lingüísticos desde perspectivas
cuantitativas y cualitativas, favoreciendo análisis basados en datos
reales de uso y contribuyendo al avance de disciplinas muy diversas.
En el ámbito de los estudios hispánicos, la lingüística de corpus ha
tenido aplicaciones fundamentales en campos como la descripción
gramatical, léxica y fonética del español, el análisis del discurso,
la pragmática, la variación lingüística, la traducción, la adquisición
de lenguas o la didáctica de ELE. Asimismo, el auge de los corpus
orales, multimodales y de aprendices ha abierto nuevas posibilidades
para el estudio del español en contextos plurilingües y digitales.
El presente monográfico tiene como objetivo reunir trabajos originales
centrados en la aplicación de metodologías de corpus al estudio del
español. Se aceptarán contribuciones basadas en diferentes enfoques
teóricos y metodológicos, siempre que incorporen una perspectiva
empírica sustentada en datos de corpus.
Entre los temas de interés se incluyen, entre otros, los siguientes:
- lingüística de corpus y análisis del discurso,
- pragmática basada en corpus,
- gramática descriptiva y variación lingüística,
- fonética y fonología basadas en corpus,
- lexicología y lexicografía de corpus,
- corpus de aprendices y adquisición de ELE,
- lingüística computacional aplicada al español,
- corpus orales y multimodales,
- traducción y estudios contrastivos basados en corpus,
 - humanidades digitales y recursos lingüísticos,
 - diseño, compilación y anotación de corpus,
- análisis cuantitativos y estadísticos en lingüística hispánica.
Se ruega a aquellos investigadores e investigadoras interesados/as en
colaborar que envíen sus propuestas de artículo a ambos editores: Raúl
Fernández Jódar (raulfdez at amu.edu.pl) y Brygida Sawicka-Stępińska
(brygida.sawicka-stepinska at amu.edu.pl).
Los trabajos deberán ser inéditos, con una extensión comprendida entre
30.000 y 35.000 caracteres. Una vez considerados por el Comité
Editorial, los artículos serán sometidos a una doble evaluación
anónima por dos reseñadores/as externos/as, la cual determinará su
aceptación, aunque la decisión última de publicar el artículo depende
de los editores del volumen.
