World Englishes coexist and interact with local languages in multilingual ecologies. Multilingual speakers use the languages in their ecologies for different functions, with different interlocutors, and at different proficiency levels. Attitudinal responses to the languages vary. Speaker groups are heterogenous manifesting only partial overlap regarding language repertoires, use, proficiencies, and attitudes. The languages in multilingual ecologies may shift in status over time. Some languages m
"Terminology throughout History: A discipline in the making" is a collection of individual contributions by leading terminology scholars from around the globe who describe historical developments of terminology as a discipline and a field of practice. Its aim is to provide a comprehensive written record of the history of terminology as it evolves from a set of practices to a discipline in its own right. Terminology has witnessed considerable theoretical and methodological developments in recent
This volume of stylistic scholarship is dedicated to the memory of one of the most inspirational and kindest stylistics scholars of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Peter Verdonk (1934-2021). Verdonk was Professor of Stylistics at the University of Amsterdam and one of the founding members of the Poetics and Linguistics Association (PALA). Many of his colleagues from PALA have contributed chapters to this volume. Each author has chosen as their starting point one of Verdonk鈥檚 ideas on lit
This volume features the latest advancements in Spanish sociolinguistics, drawing from the 10th Workshop on Spanish Sociolinguistics (WSS10). Organized into three sections, its nine chapters explore crucial issues in bilingualism and sociolinguistic variation (morpho-syntactic, phonetic, phonological and lexical/pragmatic) within the Spanish-speaking world, across diverse geographical areas such as Arizona, New York City, Puerto Rico, Galicia, Melilla, Catalonia, Philadelphia, Colombia, and Arge
This is the first comprehensive volume to explore the tendency from 鈥榠ntersubjective鈥� to 鈥榯extual鈥� functions in semantic-pragmatic change. It challenges the influential hypothesis based on the pioneering works by Traugott, i.e. the unidirectionality of change from objective to subjective and then to intersubjective meanings. In this framework, textual meanings precede (inter)subjective ones. Questioning this established trajectory, the contributions in this volume offer fresh perspectives on the
This book addresses the topic of cognitive task complexity as it has been investigated in second language (L2) task-based research. This interest is premised on the notion that communication tasks may differ systematically in the types and amounts of cognitive complexity they present to L2 learners, and these differences may have predictable effects on L2 performance, learning, and other outcomes. Adopting a research synthetic approach, the authors pursued the first ever comprehensive review of
When linguists investigate musical culture, its discursive character is usually mostly explicated through the analysis of journalistic texts (see e.g. B盲r 2024; St枚ckl 2011; Thim-Mabrey 2001). This focus on finished musical works and their mediated representations, however, often obscures the creative practices and discursive dynamics 鈥榠n the making鈥� beyond symbolic references 鈥� that is, language use embedded in and shaped by embodied, material interactions (cf. Peirce 1998 [1894]). In contrast,
We are happy to announce that the 13th edition of the International Word Processing Conference (WoProc 2026) will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from 6鈥�8 July 2026.
WoProc 2026 continues the legacy of the International Morphological Processing Conference (MoProc)鈥攁 biennial event that, since 1999, has brought together researchers from around the world to exchange ideas and discuss advances in morphological processing.

We are pleased to announce that ICAME47 will take place in Koblenz (Germany) on 26-30 May 2026. ICAME (International Computer Archive of Modern and Medieval English) is an annual international conference and one of the longest-standing organisations of linguists and data scientists working with English language corpora.
The conference theme is 鈥淎 Confluence of Corpus Research in the Age of AI鈥�. We welcome abstracts on both traditional and innovative corpus-based appr
After a comprehensive description of the French and English tense, aspect, mood/modality (TAM) systems in Chapter 1, an overview of key theoretical perspective and applied perspectives from the morpheme-order studies to examples of internal and external interfaces in monolingual child acquisition is presented in Chapter 2. The literature review of L2 studies illustrates the subtleties of TAM properties in Chapter 3. It is followed by the rigorous methodology of a cross-sectional empirical study
As digital advancements reshape communication, researchers need interdisciplinary methods to understand the cognitive processes involved. This essential reference for advanced students and researchers provides a comprehensive introduction to innovative research methods in cognitive translation and interpreting studies (CTIS). International experts from diverse disciplines share best practices for investigating cognitive processes in multilectal mediated communication. They emphasize the applicat
This volume honors the scholarly legacy of Kimberly L. Geeslin. Geeslin鈥檚 pioneering work on variation in the Spanish copula system united and extended research in the fields of second language acquisition and sociolinguistics. Geeslin laid the foundation for a growing subfield of investigation that explores how interlanguages vary in systematic and socially meaningful ways across various modules of language; how variation in learner language relates to the speakers, contexts, and experiences le

This Digital Studies in Language and Literature Special Issue invites work that explores how GenAI literacy is defined, measured, and promoted within language and literature classrooms. We seek contributions that move beyond speculative frameworks to offer empirical insights. This includes research that validates instruments for measuring GenAI literacy, explores interventions targeting GenAI literacy, and investigates how GenAI develops overtime in learners. This may also i
Meeting Description:
Since Downing's (1970) seminal work on English intonational phrases (IPs), a growing body of literature has shown that selected types of subordinate clauses can clearly form their own IPs. As for English, it has been generally observed that adverbial clauses are prosodically integrated into the matrix clause when they appear in their base position or attach to a position that is in the scope of the main verb. For example, Downing (1970: 82) observes that temporal "while"-
Meeting Description:
Over the past years, the international scientific network "Adverbial Clauses and Subordinate Dependency Relationships", funded by the German Science Foundation (grant no. 455700544), has brought together a growing body of scholars to investigate the structure, function, and variation of adverbial clauses from a range of theoretical and empirical perspectives. The conferences have addressed their syntax, semantics, prosody, diachrony, typology, and cross-linguistic variation
Meeting Description:
Subordinate clauses are among the most prominent linguistic phenomena illustrating the capacity of a computational mechanism to generate recursive structures. A central question in this domain is whether all subordination strategies can be reduced to a single abstract structure. This issue has inspired several productive lines of inquiry. One influential hypothesis is that complement clauses, particularly those embedded under factive predicates, may be analyzed as a subty
