Books: Diachronic Divergences in West Iberian Languages: Cantero, Tejedo-Herrero, and Amaral (eds.) (2026)

This collected volume combines firmly-grounded theoretical perspectives with historical empirical data from different West Iberian languages (Portuguese, Galician, Asturleonese and Spanish) to deepen our understanding of linguistic divergence in typologically related languages. It is divided into four sections: nominal, verbal and clausal domains, negation and polarity. While varied in their theoretical approach, contributions all serve to examine different aspects of the overarching issue of

Die Zunahme extremistischer Ideologien in öffentlichen wie semi-privaten Diskursräumen stellt Gesellschaften vor erhebliche Herausforderungen. Während die Inhalte extremistischer Positionen prominent erforscht sind, bleibt ihre pragmatische Dimension – die sprachlichen Vollzüge, Interaktionsmuster und multimodalen kommunikativen Formate – ein dringliches Desiderat. Vor diesem Hintergrund fragt die ALP-Jahrestagung 2027 danach, wie extremistische Weltbilder im sprachlichen Handeln hervorgebrac

Diss: Context as Complexity in Contemporary Communication

Communication has never occupied such a pervasive and immediate place in human life. The rapid development and diffusion of language modeling and communication technologies has created conditions in which linguistic interactions unfold within a dense web of social settings, contextual signals, and digital platforms that continually reshape language use. These conditions underscore the need for foundational research on language use as it emerges from unprecedented levels of complexity. A centr

Books: The Role of Cross-Linguistic Influence, Internal Dynamics, and Register in Heritage Speakers' Languages: Iefremenko (2026)

This monograph examines sources of variation in the grammars of heritage speakers, focusing on word order in Turkish and Kurmanji Kurdish as heritage languages in the contexts of majority German and majority Turkish. By bringing together the relatively well-studied case of heritage Turkish and the less extensively researched case of heritage Kurdish, the study develops a comparative framework for identifying mechanisms that shape heritage grammars. It evaluates several explanatory factors, inclu

Books: Individual Variability in the Encoding and Decoding of Prosodic Prominence Relations: Lorenzen (2026)

This book investigates inter-individual variability in the encoding and decoding of prosodic prominence relations. Formally, prosodic prominence relations are redundantly expressed by several acoustic parameters, such as changes in fundamental frequency, duration, and intensity. Functionally, prominence relations encode meaning, e.g., the information status of a word or referent. Both the formal and the functional side of prominence facilitate inter-individual variability. On the one hand, redun

Confs: Is That Really Linguistics? That’s Too Much Linguistics for Me! On Metapragmatics and the Valuation of Everyday Practices in Language Studies – A Hybrid Conference of Shared Experiences

Many linguists are familiar with the question of whether what they are currently working on is really linguistics: Is that really linguistics? Whether you acted passively or actively, you were either asked the question or asked it yourself. It is a question that presupposes a more or less clear definition of what linguistics is—where it begins and where it ends. As Becher & Trowler ([1989] 2001) argue, disciplines are shaped by internal cultures and shared understandings of what constitutes legi

The lexicalization of property concepts (PCs) — basic adjectival states such as big, small, hard, soft, black, white, fast, quick — has long been a central concern of both typology and linguistic theory. In historical Indo-European linguistics, PCs are most often examined through the lens of the “Caland System”, a complex derivational network of suffixes that structure the expression of such concepts. Yet while the nominal and adjectival exponents of this system have been intensively studied, th
