This workshop is organized as part of the 49th Annual Conference of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS 2027).
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 within discourse (F茅ry and Krifka, 2008; F茅ry and Ishihara, 2016). Despite a substantial

This is the first full-length monograph published on one of the most intriguing and knotty challenges of the Biblical Hebrew verbal system: the so-called 鈥榩rophetic perfect鈥� or 鈥榩rophetic鈥� use of q膩峁璦l. This study takes a strong linguistic approach, improving and expanding on other scholars鈥� advances, and makes unique contributions through a culturally and conceptually contextualised approach to prophetic texts. These findings are then confirmed through comparative analysis of Akkadian, Aramaic,
"An Introduction to Data Visualisation of the Writing Process" aims to address the growing need for sophisticated methods to interpret and analyse the complex data available through various data acquisition techniques.

How can digital terminology rise to the challenges of a multilingual, interconnected world? This book offers concrete answers through cutting-edge case studies that combine user-centered design, ontologies, chatbots, and generative AI. You will explore how generative AI tools can support terminology work, how cultural heritage is preserved through structured terminological resources, and how tools are developed to support both experts and everyday users. Featuring practical methodologies, innova
Digitalization has profoundly transformed our communicative and linguistic environment, and the language used most in digital media around the globe is English. The articles in this book present new research focusing on the ways in which the English language and its speakers are influenced by digital modes of communication. Traditional notions of language contact and change are being redefined, and data obtained from digital platforms offer new answers to old questions. In addition to descriptio
The book offers a modern analysis of the transcription systems employed by Wilhelm Radloff in his seminal 19th-century works on Turkic languages: "Proben der Volksliteratur der t眉rkischen St盲mme S眉d-Sibiriens (1866鈥�1907)", "Phonetik der n枚rdlichen T眉rksprachen (1883)," and "Versuch eines W枚rterbuches der T眉rk-Dialecte (1893鈥�1911)." Data are arranged in dictionary form, with detailed commentary demonstrating correspondences between characters and analysing Radloff鈥檚 pronunciation clues, including
SUMMARY
In recent decades, reflective practice (RP) has become a cornerstone of teacher education, widely promoted as a means of fostering teachers鈥� professional growth, autonomy, and adaptability in complex classroom contexts. While the concept traces back to John Dewey鈥檚 (1933) notion of teachers learning from experience, it has been developed in language education by scholars such as Thomas Farrell (2019), who articulates RP as a holistic, evidence-based, dialogic process that bridges prin

This short workshop is organized as part of the 49th Annual Conference of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS2027).
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 diffe
