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

Title: Transforming EAL Education through Translanguaging: Teachers鈥� Perspectives on Inclusive Multilingual Practices and AI-Mediated Language Support
Abstract
Background: With migration continuously shaping English-speaking countries, secondary classrooms are gradually becoming linguistically and culturally diverse. Consequently, helping newcomers learn EAL is a growing concern for language educators attempting to create inclusive and equitable learning opportunities. Au

The University of Parma's doctoral conference "Grammars of Sexuality: Forms of Saying, Narrating, Performing" (10-11 December 2026) explores sexuality as a culturally constructed "grammar", a system of rules that can be imposed, broken, or reinvented across discourse, literature, and performance. It's organised into three sections: Linguistics, focusing on how language, discourse, and embodied communication construct sexual meaning; Literature, examining how sexuality functions narratively acros

The panel seeks to advance our understanding of the nature of information that is 鈥榯aken for granted鈥� in an utterance. Linguistic phenomena related to such information, most prominently presuppositions and conventional implicatures, received different analyses, e.g. as projective or not-at-issue content. Current debates center around the questions (i) whether a single analysis can capture all characteristics of this heterogenous set of phenomena; (ii) how they connect to information-structural d
The historical relation between African languages and general phonology has been a mutually beneficial one: African languages have contributed to the development of phonology in quite central ways, and developments in phonological theory have in turn improved our understanding of the many fascinating complexities of African phonological systems.
This conference brings together 13 specialists of African linguistics and phonology to discuss the many contributions of African languages to the fie
African languages are still underrepresented in linguistic research; as a result there are almost no corpora. One way to quickly and efficiently build a corpus that allows for the investigation of a specific research question is to create one on the basis of storyboards.
Storyboards are rudimentary picture stories that speakers can retell. The design of the storyboards can be used to specifically elicit certain linguistic constructions. In this way, natural language data can be obtained that

The Highland East Cushitic (HEC) languages, including Burji, Hadiyya, Kambaata, Sidaama, and Gedeo, are spoken by over twenty million people in southern Ethiopia. Although their historical relatedness has long been recognized, Proto-Highland East Cushitic (PHEC) and Proto-Northern Highland East Cushitic have not previously been reconstructed in a comprehensive and systematic way. This dissertation addresses that gap.
Drawing on a comparative database of over 8,500 lexical entries from 23 East
