Studies in Second Language Acquisition (SSLA) recently published Replication Studies in Second Language Acquisition, a special issue of eleven high quality replication studies designed to revisit important claims and influential results in the field of Second Language Acquisition.
Given the journal鈥檚 long-standing commitment to replication, we seek to build on this milestone by soliciting replications of studies with open materials and/or data that the editorial board considers important, imp
Speech comprehension is one of the most fundamental domains of human cognition, and its importance in language acquisition is well-established (Feyten, 1991; Freedle & Carroll, 1972). Extensive research in cognitive science 鈥� particularly in psycholinguistics 鈥� has shed light on the complex processes involved in listening comprehension, highlighting their diversity (phonological, lexical, syntactic, semantic, and discourse-level processing), and their dynamic interactivity (Christiansen & Chater
CLARe conferences bring together scholars engaged in the study of language and aging, with a focus on fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. The 7th Conference on Corpora for Language and Aging Research (CLARe7) invites submissions under the theme Negotiating Age-related Changes. Contributions are welcome from corpus linguistics, multimodal communication, discourse studies, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and applied linguistics, including emerging AI tools. The conference seeks to adva
We invite the submission of abstracts for the Computational Linguistics poster session of the 48th annual meeting of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS), hosted by the University of Trier. We invite submissions from all areas of computational linguistics, ranging from models of language across all linguistic areas to corpus lingusitics, multimodal approaches and studies on LLM capability assessment. We especially encourage students and junior researchers to participate.

IWCS is a biennial conference on computational semantics. This year's edition is organized by Heinrich Heine University D眉sseldorf. The conference is endorsed by SIGSEM, the ACL Special Interest Group on Computational Semantics.
The aim of the IWCS conference is to bring together researchers interested in any aspects of the computation, annotation, extraction, representation and learning of meaning in natural language, whether this is from a lexical or structural seman
We are pleased to announce the publication of a new typological resource, the Areal Typology of Languages of the Americas (ATLAs) database. The aim of ATLAs is to capture areally relevant typological variation across North and South America, together with a baseline sample from the rest of the world. Our sample includes 325 languages worldwide, of which 220 are in the Americas. For each typological domain present in the database, we have attempted to encode as fine-grained features as possible,

I am a PhD student from the Universit盲t Koblenz, conducting a study on the developmental trajectory of emotion concepts in late German-English bilinguals.
I am currently looking for participants in the following groups:
- German & English native speakers (aged 20-30), who do not speak any language other than their L1 above B1-level
- German-English late bilinguals (aged 20-30), who speak both German and English at C-level, but no other language above B1-level
