Introduction
The digital revolution is transforming language learning and teaching, driven by rapid advancements in technology. As language educators and researchers, we stand at the forefront of this transformation, tasked with harnessing the potential of technology to enhance second language acquisition. The intersection of technology and language learning has the potential to either revolutionize or replicate existing pedagogical practices, depending on how thoughtfully we design and apply t
I am looking for participants for a study at the University of Cologne on Ukrainian鈥揜ussian bilingualism in the Ukrainian diaspora in Germany and Austria. I would be grateful if you could share this call with potential participants or in relevant groups and networks.

I鈥檓 excited to announce a fun project that students in my lab and I have been developing this year 鈥� A YouTube channel called HELLO Lab Presents (https://www.youtube.com/@TheHELLOLab). Our goal is to provide parents with evidence-based 鈥榚dutainment鈥� on language development and related topics that they have questions (and sometimes misinformation) about. The videos are also a tribute to the work you have contributed to the ever-growing and ever-changing body of knowledge.
Here鈥檚 what we have

The CLDC provides a forum for researchers interested in language, discourse, and cognition to present new findings, exchange innovative ideas, and share approaches across disciplines. Topics relevant to these areas, as well as interdisciplinary studies stimulated over the past years, have given rise to a growing body of critical insights, making CLDC an important event in the field of cognitive linguistics in East Asia.
Building on this tradition, studies presented at CLDC
Throughout the history of humanity, we are constantly recording, documenting, remembering. We catalog on cave walls, on wax tablets and wooden boards, on animal skins, on paper, and now, on electronic devices. Everything that we know and remember today is such because it was made to exist. But how about what wasn鈥檛?
In this issue, we are re-remembering what was left out: the lost, the overlooked, the forgotten. Our understanding is shaped as much by what is neglected as by what is preserved,

Computational modelling has long been a highly influential research method in the study of human language processing. In the last decade or so, the impact of computational simulations has further increased with the availability of models with human-scale knowledge of language statistics and the development of powerful linking functions (based on, for instance, information theory and distributional semantics) between model predictions and human processing, as well as the availability of large-sca

Description:
Agreement has been at the center of linguistic debate for a long time. In the case of English, its reduced morphological system has possibly fostered research in subject-verb agreement from different perspectives: theoretical, geographical, cognitive-based, among others. In fact, a wide range of phenomena have/has received
