After more than 20 years in Ko拧ice, the Word-Formation Theories & Typology and Universals in Word-Formation twin conferences set out on a world tour. Their first stop will be at Vilnius University, Lithuania, on 15鈥�17 June 2027. We cordially invite everyone to explore new territories in word-formation research and continue the tradition of the Ko拧ice meetings.
The conference will host three workshops and a general session with a preferred focus on word-formation theory, typology, and universa

Digital platforms are increasingly organised around practices of reacting. Across platforms, reactions are shaped by affordances and emic labels, from low-threshold uptake such as likes, comments, quotes, reposts, or stitches to elaborate audiovisual formats such as live responses and reaction videos. At this end of the spectrum, reception becomes a "vernacular form of visual production" (Kim 2016: 333): prior content is watched, paused, felt, discussed, and repackaged before an audience. Positi

One of the central goals of syntactic typology is to reduce complex linguistic phenomena鈥攁nd the often fine-grained variation they exhibit across languages鈥攖o a set of simpler underlying mechanisms. This enterprise involves deriving a wide range of syntactic constructions from constrained sets of features or other syntactic primitives that can combine in different constellations across languages.

Scalar focus particles (ScalFocPs) like 鈥榚ven鈥� and 鈥榦nly鈥� 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

The aim of this research is to properly characterize Spanish names from Spain according to the speakers' perception of them and the social information encoded in them.
The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and can be accessed on a digital device (phone, computer, tablet).
We are looking for participants who meet the following criteria:
鈥� From Spain
鈥� Over 18 years old
鈥� Native speakers of Spanish

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鈥檚 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

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
