2nd Call for Papers:
Pronominal systems represent one of the most fertile testing grounds for understanding grammar as a symbolic system adapted to a stochastic cognitive environment. Pronouns are minimal in descriptive content but maximal in context dependency: they enable reference-tracking without lexical repetition, interact closely with information structure, and frequently give rise to mismatches between form and meaning (Onea et al. 2023).

This critical investigation explores Brexit in the context of the nationalist populist wave in Europe, arguing that manipulative rhetoric was a key factor in the 2016 referendum result. It probes Brexiter propaganda through the lens of linguistics and cognitive science, showing how ethnocentric attitudes and emotions were mobilised.
This dictionary is a unique compilation of rare and unusual words from the English language, meticulously translated into Arabic to provide a deeper appreciation of the linguistic richness shared between these two global tongues. The collection of approximately 20.000 entries is designed for linguists, translators, scholars, and language enthusiasts who seek to explore the extraordinary and often overlooked vocabulary of English, alongside its equivalent expressions in Arabic. By bridging cultur
This manual takes EFL students on a guided journey to develop mastery of English pronunciation. It explores systematic rules as well as irregularities in the pronunciation of English letters, digraphs, common affixes, and morphemes, and introduces the IPA phonetic symbols for vowels and consonants and their realization both as independent sounds and in different word positions. It also provides a comprehensive phonetic description of English vowels and consonants, highlights key pronunciation di
This work presents a grammatical sketch of the Kurdish language with special emphasis on Central Kurdish (Sorani). The study examines the linguistic structures of this dialect across six main chapters.
The first chapter introduces the Kurdish language, its genetic classification, geographical distribution, and dialectal groups. The second chapter analyzes the phonological system of Sorani, including vowels, consonants, syllable structure, and phonological processes. The third chapter explores n
This volume offers an overview of the major historical changes in ambiguously gendered Spanish nouns. Starting with gendered Latin cases, it analyzes gender transformation patterns in Spanish. By focusing on those nouns that do not show the consistent suffixal 鈥搊/鈥揳 alternation for masculine and feminine, this book studies the irregularities and distinctions which made these nouns unique from the perspective of grammatical gender. Why certain inanimate nouns like mano or d铆a did not conform to t
The book describes the morphological system of Yukaghir in a historical perspective, and proposes the systematic reconstruction of the main aspects of Proto Yukaghir inflectional morphology and the historical changes it went through. Proto-Yukaghir is shown to be strongly aligned with the grammatical profile of the Uralic and Altaic languages. In addition, the book discusses potential external cognates for a number of Yukaghir grammatical morphemes and constructions, evaluates some previous hypo
This book addresses a critical gap in Teaching Persian as a Foreign Language (TPFL) by providing a comprehensive, empirically-grounded pedagogical framework for teaching Persian spatial language to Iraqi Arabic learners. Drawing on Talmy's motion event typology and Slobin's "thinking for speaking" framework, the volume analyzes the fundamental typological difference between Arabic (verb-framed) and Persian (satellite-framed) spatial encoding systems.
Based on a 24-month longitudinal corpus s
The conference provides a dynamic platform for scholars, researchers, and practitioners from around the world to share their work and exchange ideas in the field of linguistics. It aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and promote the exploration of current theoretical and applied issues in language research. Participants will have the opportunity to present their findings, engage in academic discussions, and establish connections with colleagues from the international linguistic community.

We are pleased to invite you to an upcoming webinar organised within the GRAPHIA project, taking place on 16 April at 2 PM CET.
Title: Beyond SPARQL: towards conversation-based access to knowledge graphs in GRAPHIA
SPARQL has long been the standard interface to knowledge graphs but its technical complexity limits access for many audiences. This webinar introduces Quagga, an LLM-based agent developed within GRAPHIA that enables conversational exploration of knowledge graphs using natural la
I am wanting for native English speakers to judge the acceptability of sentences containing the verb 'climb'.
That is, I am investigating aspects of 'climb', so I am forcedly using the verb even when there are potential alternatives to it.
In this project, informants will be judging the acceptability of the sentences by selecting either of the four options (Verry Natural, Natural, A Little Unnatural, and Unnatural) except one question.
In order for me to exhaust possibilities, there are
I am looking for a hard copy of an old journal volume: Anthropological Linguistics Vol. 39, No. 4 (1997).
I am working on a biography of Dr. Haas, as a tribute to one of our scholarly ancestors to whom I feel a lot of gratitude.
I know can access all of the articles in the journal online via jstor, but I'd really like a physical copy. If you have one you are willing to part with, let me know. I am happy to cover shipping and compensation for the journal. Thank you!
