Arabic nouns can be marked for definiteness or indefiniteness. The definite article is the prefix “Al-,” which confines the determiner class to a single element “Al-.” This topic is generally discussed under noun inflections, such as Gender, Number, Definiteness, and Case (GNDC), in grammar textbooks. The primary aim of this paper is to expand the Arabic determiner class (DET) by incorporating additional lexical items and providing a detailed description of their syntactic context within noun ph

Call for Papers: This conference brings together scholars investigating the cognitive, biological, and computational foundations of language within the biolinguistic framework that Noam Chomsky has pioneered. Under the theme “Towards K-Humanities: Thought, Structure, and Language Design,” we explore how language, as a thought-generating system, reflects principles of structural simplicity and computational efficiency. Our point of departure is the two foundational challenges in biolinguist

Greek is one of the few languages in the world with an uninterrupted written tradition that spans more than three thousand years. Nearly all periods of Greek are well-documented by large amounts of heterogeneous sources. However, the attention scholarly research has devoted to the different phases of the Greek language is very disproportionate. While the pre-Classical and Classical periods of Greek have been studied for centuries, Postclassical Greek has been focused on only recently. The Postcl

ICCA 2026 Panel on: Narratives, Activities, and Interactional Settings Narrative within interaction has been a central object of study in conversation analysis and interactional linguistics for a number of decades, yielding rich and nuanced observations about the sequential organization of story-telling and the role of stories in positioning social actors. A key issue in this literature concerns the integration of tellings, as ‘big packages’ (Sacks 1992: 354), into the basic turn-by-turn organi
