Special issue on History as Translation (Vol. 8.1, Spring 2026)
Guest-editor: Margarita Savchenkova
Over the past few decades, translation studies have shown an increasing interest in historical themes. This emerging focus has led to a range of publications that seek to offer a thorough understanding of how history and translation intersect (see Bastin and Bandia, 2006; Hermans, 2022; Rundle, 2022). Nevertheless, much of this research approaches translation primarily as an interlingual acti
Editors of the European Journal of Humour Research special issue "AI Meets Humour" invite contributions that examine any aspect of the relationship between artificial intelligence and humour from a humanistic or social-scientific perspective. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
- Cultural, social, or ethical implications of AI-generated humour
- Humour as a test for artificial general intelligence
- Semiotics of humour in human鈥揂I interactions
- The "funny robot" trope in

The Department of AI and Society (AIS) at the University at Buffalo (UB) invites candidates to apply for multiple positions as Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Full Professor.

We are seeking researchers, educators, and practitioners in second language (L2) studies to review and endorse a set of ethics and accountability guidelines for qualitative research.
As part of Project CLEAR-Qual (Conducting L2 Ethical and Accountable Research in Qualitative Studies), we have developed a practitioner-informed framework designed to support ethical, rigorous, and transparent qualitative research in L2 contexts. These guidelines were created based on an extensive review of the l
The Multilingual Representation Learning (MRL) workshop is looking for volunteers to contribute to a multilingual physical commonsense reasoning dataset, to be used to evaluate large language model capabilities across languages. Contributors would submit a manually-written dataset in their native language(s), or with the help of a native speaker of a non-English language (even just 100 examples is ok). We will provide guidance on how to do this!
We currently have volunteers for ~40 languages,

OASIS 5 (Ontology As Structured by the Interfaces with Semantics 5) will take place at the University of Edinburgh in the UK, December 3-5, 2025.
The OASIS conference series aims to promote conversation across different disciplines that interface with semantics, using ontological questions as shared reference points. The broad questions in the background are these:
- What basic ontological building blocks do we use to talk and think about the world?
- How do these b
Preserving the original idea, the fifth edition of CIFRE is also organized by doctoral and postdoctoral students of the Department of Romance Languages, Faculty of Arts, Palack媒 University Olomouc, Czech Republic.

It is also an opportunity to make contact w
According to the DP hypothesis, the merger of a determiner and a noun yields a determiner phrase (DP) rather than a noun phrase (nP). Focusing on Spanish, I defend the DP hypothesis but reject the notion that argumenthood is contingent upon a DP layer. Instead, I maintain that arguments can be as small as nP provided that they are c-commanded by a verb or a preposition, in which case the variables that they introduce are bound through a last-resort operation of existential closure. I then consid

In the present book I unveil a constraint on the internal order of Sanskrit bahuvr墨hi compounds and offer a configurational account for it. The fundamental ingredients of this account are: (i) the translation of the syntactic and semantic relations involved in Sanskrit bahuvr墨his into configurational terms; (ii) the interplay between movement and configurations (as in the theory of Dynamic Antisymmetry). By means of these two ingredients, I show that the ordering constraint on Sanskrit bahuvr墨hi
