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

No wonder sugar is on everyone鈥檚 lips (pun intended): it is just an omnipresent item and a hotly debated topic. But there are many facets to it: sugar is an agricultural product, a food item, a nutrient, and a biochemical component of our bodies. The meanings of sugar are thus constructed in many different discourses, with different aspects being foregrounded. Many of these aspects are problematic and controversial, whether the role of slavery and the exploitation of people and the environment i

The main aim of the Workshop on Linguistic Variation at Interfaces III 鈥� VARINT26 is to widen our understanding of the empirical phenomena displaying linguistic variation, their relevance for the design of the overall grammatical architecture, and the current status of approaches to variation in terms of (micro) parameters and networks. Descriptive-formal generative approaches to variation are founded on the hypothesis that variation among languages is understood as the interaction between a

Papers submitted to GLAC may be on any linguistic or philological aspect of any historical or modern Germanic language or dialect, including English (to the Early Modern period) and the extraterritorial varieties. 鈥� SHEL (Studies on the History of the English Language) has been meeting biennially fo

The issue of light elements (primarily verbs and nouns, but also prepositions, adjectives, quantifiers a.s.o.) has been the focus of extensive research over the past years within the standard generative framework. The complexity of light elements is apparent at various levels of linguistic analysis: typological, morpho-syntactic, semantic, psycholinguistic, pragmatic, a.o. In an attempt at shedding some new light on the current analyses of light elements across languages, the workshop tackles

In a world marked by rupture, polarization, and resistance, Beyond Fracture invites us to explore how moments of divergence鈥攕ocial, linguistic, aesthetic, political鈥攃an give rise not only to conflict but also to reinvention. At the same time, it calls us to consider the forces of convergence that bind and reconfigure, often in surprising or uneasy ways. Between fracture and fusion lies the space of possibility: for solidarity, for creativity, and for futures that move beyond protest and toward t

Discourse plays a central role in the social and cultural construction of gender. It functions as a dynamic space where meanings are negotiated, certain identities are legitimized, and others are marginalized. In the current context, trans people have gained increasing visibility, which has brought to the forefront the discursive tensions between dominant narratives that continue to pathologize and exclude, and alternative discursive practices that promote recognition, inclusion, or resistance t

The Conference will serve as a platform for exploring both professional and non-professional practices in intercultural and educational mediation, with a particular emphasis on community interpreting (CI) and educational mediation in academic settings. Discussions will encompass innovative research approaches, adaptation strategies in connection to technological advancements, including AI-powered translation tools, and the evolving role of interpreters as both linguistic and social mediators.
