Scope and goals of the volume: Drawing on corpus-based research, the book investigates how clause , embedding, and phrase-level subordination contribute to complex meaning-making. It demonstrates how syntactic choices are determined by transitivity, agency, thematic progression, and the need to package information in discourse. In addition, the book investigates variation in complexity across spoken and written registers and academic genres, revealing how functional factors drive syntactic c

In “The Object Called ‘Language’ and the Subject of Linguistics,” Asif Agha reminds us that language is not merely an object among others, but an institutionally organized medium through which social life is conducted, organized, and made meaningful. This perspective carries an important consequence: the study of any domain of human life can be illuminated through the study of language, provided that we develop analytical models that function as “bridging constructs.” Such constructs link observ

Priming and analogy are central mechanisms in human language. Priming supports the activation of linguistic structures and meanings, while analogy enables speakers to extend patterns and recognise relational similarities. Although both mechanisms are well studied, they have largely been investigated in isolation. Recent research, however, suggests that they may be deeply interconnected, even as the directionality of this relationship remains a matter of debate. The workshop aims to contribute to

Bringing a timely contribution to scholarship about the linguistic variations of languages spoken in northern Afghanistan, the authors address gaps in existing literature, particularly regarding linguistic areality in Afghanistan and Uzbek identity. By exploring lesser-studied languages like Afghan Wakhi and Turkmen, they also provide fresh insights into Iranian and Turkic languages. The volume is published in honor of Simone Beck, who dedicated many years of her life to comprehending the li

What counts as a word in a newly written language is not a simple matter. This volume brings together ten new case studies from around the world that shed light on the complex process of determining word boundaries. This process relies not just on linguistic analysis, but also on literacy principles such as readability and ultimately on the acceptability of the decisions to the communities using the orthographies. Any reader wishing to understand the principles behind word boundary decisions

Effective orthographies which represent speech maximally yet efficiently are pivotal in giving literacy to millions of people. Testing their effectiveness can inform users, literacy personnel, and linguists of the relative importance of certain features, and any difficulties readers may face with comprehension, spelling or reading fluency. The case studies address topics such as: under- and overrepresentation of a language’s phonology; developing decoding skills and whole word recognition; choos

Call for Papers: This workshop explores the shift from controlled laboratory recordings to crowdsourced and automatically aligned speech data. Advances in speech technology and annotation tools now enable large-scale phonetic research but raise questions about data reliability, interpretability, and ethics. Alignment errors and variable recording conditions are especially common in spontaneous and heterogeneous data, where they challenge traditional analytical assumptions. Bringing together p
