Organisers: Iris Kamil, Letizia Cerqueglini Call deadline: 1 November 2025 It is by now well-established that the domains of human language rarely exist on their own: syntax, semantics, morphology, phonology, and pragmatics regularly interact with one another on what is known as the interfaces of grammar. The study of the various interfaces is vast, and several frameworks of theoretical linguistic research seek to formalize them, for instance Distributed Morphology, Halle & Marantz 199; Para

The third edition of MMSYM continues the symposium series on multimodal communication previously held in Frankfurt am Main (2024) and Barcelona (2023). The symposium aims at gaining insights into the interaction and/or co-dependence of semiotic resources in spoken and signed language. To advance our understanding of communication, the symposium aims at further integrating multimodality as an integral part of linguistics and cognitive science. This overarching goal of the symposium is rooted in t

The University of British Columbia is pleased to host a joint conference bringing together SULA (Semantics of Under-represented Languages in the Americas) and TripleA (Semantics of Languages of Africa, Asia, Australia and Oceania) on May 12 -15, 2026. This will be the first time that these conferences will be combined into one joint event. The conference also marks the 25th Anniversary of SULA, which took place for the first time in 2001. The goal of the conference is to bring together resear

Workshop: Artificial Languages in the Linguist鈥檚 Toolbox We are delighted to invite you to attend the second workshop of the EXREAN project* at the Freie Universit盲t Berlin which will explore the application of artificial languages as a tool in linguistic research. Artificial language learning experiments test how far language users can extract rule-like generalizations from structured input (Culbertson, 2023). Since Reber鈥檚 (1967) seminal artificial grammar (AG) study, which aimed at inve

Abstracts (max. 300 words, excluding references) should be sent to Natalia Levshina (natalia.levshina@ru.nl) and Nicole Katzir (nicole.katzir@gmail.com) by November 10th. Large Language Models (LLMs) are models with billions of parameters, trained on vast amounts of text data to learn statistical patterns in language, and able to generate, process, and predict human(-like) text. As discussions at the recent SLE meeting and other venues demonstrate, the rise of LLMs has major consequences for

We are pleased to announce the upcoming 14th edition of our conference Language of the Third Millennium, to be held on 18-20 March 2026.The conference aims to create a forum dedicated to the exploration of the interplay of modes鈥攍inguistic, visual, gestural, spatial, aural, and beyond鈥攊n meaning-making processes across a wide range of communicative contexts The importance of multimodality becomes evident in everyday life, strongly tied to dynamic media contexts and influenced by the online en

Interactional Competences and Practices in a Second Language (ICOP-L2) conferences bring together researchers sharing a socially and interactionally situated view of language use, L2 learning and L2 interactional competence development. We hereby invite researchers at all career levels who draw on the principles of ethnomethodology, (multimodal) conversation analysis, membership categorization analysis, usage-based linguistics and related approaches to present their research on how L2/multilingu

According to Natural Morphology (e.g., Dressler 2005), the most natural morphological constructions are those based on constructional iconicity, i.e.,constructions in which more meaning is represented by more form. From this point of view, concatenative morphology is natural and typical, while non-concatenative morphology can be perceived as atypical, deviating from the standard types of word-formation in the languages of the world (see also 艩tekauer, Valera, and K枚rtv茅lyessy 2012). The types of

The conference is an open forum for scholars interested in exploring empirically topics and issues in Arabic applied linguistics. The topics of the conference cover three main strands: I. Topics which deal with Arabic second language acquisition (SLA). Current approaches for investigating the different aspects (phonology, vocabulary, morphology, syntax, morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics, etc.) of Arabic SLA include but not limited to: - Formal (generative, functional, typological) - Cog

We are delighted to announce that we are now receiving submissions for our symposium entitled 鈥淧ushing the boundaries of linguistic categorisation鈥�.

Healthcare delivery in most African countries is done in official languages which for the most part are colonial. Cameroon for example has 283 languages (Eberhard, Simons and Fennig, 2023) with an Official bilingual (English and French) policy which government thrusts ferociously with little or no realistic sociolinguistic foundation. Many other African countries have adopted colonial languages as official languages (English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, etc. depending on whom their colonial mas

Convenors: L铆via K枚rtvelyessy and Thomas Van Hoey Workshop title: When Sounds Speak: Toward a Typology of Sound Symbolism and Iconicity Abstract: The idea of sound symbolism or iconicity as 鈥渋nmost, natural similarity association[s] between sound and meaning鈥� (Jakobson and Waugh 2002: 182) in onomatopoeia and, more broadly, in ideophones, has a long tradition. As noted by Akita, 鈥渢he large majority of studies agree that languages involve sound symbolism, and speakers of the languages ca
