Language and texts have an astounding capacity to generate different meanings with every interpretation. As such, Catherine Malabou frames this regenerative capacity as 鈥渟omething like a scar, tugging the skin of a text to distribute its meaning differently, to reveal within it a new organization, to make possibly in the very text different movements and different effects of truth.鈥� She defines plasticity as 鈥渢his regenerative force of reading鈥� (29). Form, whether textual, oral, pictorial, artef

Co-organised by the International Linguistic Society and DELAD (Database Enterprise for Language and Speech Disorders) Language disorders affect individuals across all ages and languages. While many are congenital and emerge in early childhood, others develop later in life as a result of neurological conditions, illness, or injury. Addressing this global and multilingual reality requires robust, well-documented, and ethically managed language disorder corpora. This special session focuses

My name is Leon Grausam, and I am a research associate at the University of Bremen. In my current work, I am exploring the concept of "Language Activism" - what it means in practice, how it is lived and experienced, and how it can serve as a tool for bottom-up research in indigenous and minoritized language communities. A central pillar of this research is a series of interviews with people who are close to this topic. What matters most to me is that indigenous perspectives are not just incl

IsoPhon is designed to compare formant charts and compute a Similarity Index (SI) between them. IsoPhon does not compare individual vowels in isolation. Instead, it compares the articulatory space, or vocal space, represented by the formant chart. This vocal space is represented as a polygon constructed from the F1 and F2 values of the selected vowels. As a result, IsoPhon compares polygons, not isolated points. The comparison is performed by transforming the starting polygon, A, so that it m

Focus: Linguistics: language change and variation, fieldwork methodology and data collection, statistical and quantitative analysis. Literary and Cultural Studies: transmedial movement of genres, motifs, and narrative structures, examining how symbolic repertoires and collective memories are reinterpreted as they travel across media. Description: The Summer School explores the complexity of a cultural environment in which texts, languages, and images are constantly recombined through prac

We invite submissions for a workshop on (the relationship between) at-issueness and commitment in natural language semantics, pragmatics, psycholinguistics, philosophy of language, and related fields. At-issueness and commitment are central notions in the analysis of meaning and discourse, each widely studied in its own right. However, the relationship between the two remains unresolved. Existing findings paint a mixed picture: while pragmatic inferences such as implicatures are often associa

Call for Papers: Many children worldwide grow up learning聽and using two or more languages. The experiences of multilingual children vary greatly. Therefore, it is impossible to treat multilingual children as a homogeneous group, and an increasing body of research examines how multilinguals differ from one another and how these differences influence their development. We aim to bring together psychology and interdisciplinary researchers who have adopted this perspective and are working toward

Workshop Description: There is no single definition of what language contact is. Language contact(s) exist in a diffuse form at various levels - from the individual level of a bilingual person to the global level of a world society, resulting in a heterogeneity in the field of contact linguistics (cf. Bidese 2023: 2). Language contact can be studied by different (sub)disciplines and from different perspectives. Researchers have pointed out that despite the enormous interest that the field has

SUMMARY Kellert鈥檚 monograph, The (in)Transparency of Meaning Change and Variation, based on her habilitation thesis, contributes to a broader inquiry that essentially boils down to 鈥渉ow transparent is meaning change?鈥� In this book, she addresses this question by providing an in-depth case study on the Spanish modal indefinite 鈥渃ualquiera鈥� and its various meanings, across time and varieties. The (In)transparency of Meaning Change and Variation is organised into six chapters and follows a co
