Palabra y silencio se implican mutuamente. Se enlazan en la respiraci贸n, y as铆 tambi茅n conviven en cada parte del lenguaje. Hay silencios propios de los fonemas, de los morfemas, de las palabras y de las oraciones, y el silencio aparece en refranes, en la conversaci贸n y en el discurso p煤blico. De hecho, a la par del desarrollo del lenguaje artificial, en los 煤ltimos a帽os creci贸 tambi茅n el inter茅s acad茅mico por distintas formas de 鈥渟ilencio verbal鈥� (Ephratt 2008, 2016, 2022).

Call for Papers: This workshop is organized as part of the DGfS 49th Annual Conference 2027 'Language under the Microscope 鈥� Observation, Analysis, Theory' Workshop Description: Clitic pronouns and agreement markers are traditionally treated as distinct elements of grammar: clitics as (deficient) pronouns, agreement as a purely morphological reflex of syntactic relations. However, a growing body of work has pointed to systematic similarities between them, raising the question of whether

Call for Papers: This workshop is organized as part of the World Congress of African Linguistics 鈥� WOCAL 12, 2027 Workshop Description: Object marking has long been central to debates about the nature of agreement and clitic doubling. While traditionally treated as distinct phenomena, a growing body of work has shown that the empirical picture is more complex and that the distinction is often difficult to maintain (Jaeggli 1982; Borer 1984; Sportiche 1996; Roberts 2010; Kramer 2012; Zel

Call for Papers: This workshop is organized as part of the 49th Annual Conference of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS 2027). NOTE: the submission deadline has been extended to July 31, 2026. Workshop Description: Information Structure (IS) is a broad domain of linguistic inquiry, addressing how speakers organize and present information in discourse. Crucially, languages employ a wide range of strategies across (morpho)syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and prosody to package information

More than two decades ago, Michael Erard, a linguist and writer, set out to marry the linguist鈥檚 fascination with language to the journalist鈥檚 fascination with story. Could he go beyond the usual cliches and engage with language where and how it鈥檚 actually used and studied? In journalism, a "beat" is an area or topic to which a journalist brings their expertise. "The Language Beat: Essays and Reporting on Language and Life" collects 42 of Erard鈥檚 long-form features, reports, essays and review

PACLIC is a premier annual international conference that has brought together researchers in linguistics, computational linguistics, and natural language processing for four deca

Yapen Island in Cenderawasih Bay, Indonesia, is home to a small group of closely related Papuan languages: the Yawa-Saweru languages. Up until now, the Yawa-Saweru languages have remained largely undescribed and there is no scholarly consensus on the genetic affiliations of the family. Even though multiple attempts at establishing genetic relationships have been made, such hypotheses cannot be properly evaluated without detailed descriptions of the language family and rigorous bottom-up reconstr

Across Early Modern Europe, far-reaching social, political, and economic changes gave rise to efforts to shape and standardise vernacular languages. In the Low Countries, these efforts took shape in the first Dutch spelling guides, grammars, and dictionaries, which set out tentative norms for a standard written language. At the same time, printed newspapers emerged as a new and widely read medium, reaching audiences across social classes, and potentially serving not only to spread the news, but

As aging populations and multilingual societies continue to grow worldwide (Navaneetham and Arunachalam 2025), communication involving multilingual persons living with dementia has become an increasingly important (Schneider Ward, Karl & Rzitki 2026; Schneider 2023; Karl 2021), yet still under-researched area. We aim to bring together researchers working on multilingualism and dementia across different linguistic, cultural, institutional, and methodological contexts. We particularly welcome

Call for Papers: The World Wide Web has evolved from a resource for building linguistic corpora into the central data infrastructure powering modern natural language processing and Large Language Models (LLMs). As web-scale data increasingly shapes AI systems鈥� knowledge and capabilities, understanding its quality, representativeness, and ethical implications has become critical. At the same time, the 鈥渕ore is better鈥� paradigm is being challenged by issues such as machine-generated content,

Call for Papers: In an ever-changing, increasingly complex and plural world, attitudes often play a central role in public discourse. This also holds true for attitudes towards languages. These attitudes begin to emerge in the family and at school and continue to develop throughout life as we participate in society. In this way, they help to shape our relationship to languages and our identity. Applied linguistics has long been concerned with language attitudes. The focus has been on soci

The current communication pattern worldwide is marked by two key features: digital connectivity and civic unrest. Communities co-produce meaning through nuanced, often contested communicative acts that range across generational, cultural, and ideological boundaries. This panel proposes that intercommunity interaction is not merely an exchange of information but a dynamic space of pragmatic negotiation, in which utterances are determined by context, implicature, and social intent (Levinson, 2023)

La pragma虂tica diacro虂nica se ha consolidado recientemente como li虂nea de investigacio虂n en los estudios sobre discurso. De un modo concreto, estudia el uso de la lengua en contextos del pasado y analiza co虂mo las formas y funciones lingu虉i虂sticas se configuran y transforman a trave虂s del tiempo (Stein, 1985; Jucker, 1995; Taavitsainen y Fitzmaurice, 2007), atendiendo tanto a aspectos discursivos como sociales. De este modo, su desarrollo ha permitido ampliar el campo de la lingu虉i虂stica histo虂r
