As of Volume 27 Nanon Labrie (OLVG Amsterdam | Amsterdam UMC) will join Ninke Stukker (University of Groningen) as editor of the bookseries Converging Evidence in Language and Communication.
Over the past decades, linguists have taken a broader view of language and are borrowing methods and findings from other disciplines such as cognition and computer sciences, neurology, biology, sociology, psychology, and anthropology. This development has enriched our knowledge of language and communicat

Arabic nouns can be marked for definiteness or indefiniteness. The definite article is the prefix 鈥淎l-,鈥� which confines the determiner class to a single element 鈥淎l-.鈥� This topic is generally discussed under noun inflections, such as Gender, Number, Definiteness, and Case (GNDC), in grammar textbooks. The primary aim of this paper is to expand the Arabic determiner class (DET) by incorporating additional lexical items and providing a detailed description of their syntactic context within noun ph

Call for Papers:
This conference brings together scholars investigating the cognitive, biological, and computational foundations of language within the biolinguistic framework that Noam Chomsky has pioneered. Under the theme 鈥淭owards K-Humanities: Thought, Structure, and Language Design,鈥� we explore how language, as a thought-generating system, reflects principles of structural simplicity and computational efficiency.
Our point of departure is the two foundational challenges in biolinguist
The 11th Biennial International Conference on the Linguistics of Contemporary English (BICLCE) will be held between 3rd and 5th July 2026 at the University of Klagenfurt (Austria).
For over two decades, the BICLCE conference series has been a forum for researchers who are interested in the linguistics of contemporary English.

Greek is one of the few languages in the world with an uninterrupted written tradition that spans more than three thousand years. Nearly all periods of Greek are well-documented by large amounts of heterogeneous sources. However, the attention scholarly research has devoted to the different phases of the Greek language is very disproportionate. While the pre-Classical and Classical periods of Greek have been studied for centuries, Postclassical Greek has been focused on only recently. The Postcl

ICCA 2026 Panel on: Narratives, Activities, and Interactional Settings
Narrative within interaction has been a central object of study in conversation analysis and interactional linguistics for a number of decades, yielding rich and nuanced observations about the sequential organization of story-telling and the role of stories in positioning social actors. A key issue in this literature concerns the integration of tellings, as 鈥榖ig packages鈥� (Sacks 1992: 354), into the basic turn-by-turn organi
