Scalar focus particles (ScalFocPs) like ‘even’ and ‘only’ have played a central role in alternative semantics and related fields ever since their development (Jacobs 1983, Rooth 1985, 1992). Their syntax and semantics have been at the center of much recent work on languages other than commonly studied varieties of English (cf. Hole 2013, Sun 2020 on Vietnamese; Quek & Hirsch 2017 on Singaporean English; Hole 2017, 2023, Wimmer 2020, 2022, Yuan 2024 on Chinese; Yip 2024, 2026 on Cantonese, Vietna

A general lack of knowledge about the social and cultural aspects surrounding the English language still prevents many learners from reaching high levels of proficiency. In reflecting people’s ways of thinking and acting, the English language cannot and should not be studied removed from the social and cultural connotations that it holds in the minds of its speakers. It is to such meanings that this book will draw attention. By examining and exemplifying the five major pillars of sociolinguistic

Call for Papers: Sign languages and the diverse paths to their acquisition offer a unique opportunity to gain insight into linguistic theory and human cognition. Structurally, the visual-gestural modality has different affordances and demands than the oral-aural modality and these have implications for linguistic theory (Perniss 2018). Socially, signer demographics are extremely varied due to factors such as (familial) hearing status, language ideology, and access to a sign language community

This panel invites pragmalinguistics and socio-pragmatic perspectives on microaggressions, and more broadly, forms of covert harm and interpersonal bias. Originally defined by Pierce as ‘black-white racial interactions [that] are characterized by white putdowns, done in an automatic, preconscious or unconscious fashion’ (Pierce, 1974: 515), microaggression has recently been described, as ‘subtle behaviors, social practices, and environmental features that express disrespectful or derogatory atti

Artistic practice is conceptualised, communicated, and legitimised through culturally specific discourses. When these discourses are not recognised, institutions risk imposing external frameworks of value onto culturally distinct practices, thereby misrepresenting how such practices are understood, what motivates them, and how meaning is produced within their own cultural contexts (Baumann, 2007; Bourdieu, 1984). Building bridges across artistic cultures therefore requires close attention to the

In the field of second language acquisition (SLA), there is a consensus among researchers that a multitude of factors come into play during the acquisition process and influence both the pace of acquisition and the success of that process. Indeed, several factors account for inter- and intra-individual differences: age, working memory, motivation, aptitude for the L2, learning strategies, proficiency level in the L2, and the subjects’ linguistic repertoire, not to mention the importance of s
