Languages have complex ways of marking (coding) the names of languages that are used/spoken/known/written etc. English is pretty simple but in Polish f.ex. I speak POLISH (or any language whose name is an adjective plus Latin, whose name in Polish is a noun) has one construction, I speak SANSKRIT (or any language whose name is a noun other than Latin) has another, I speak MANY LANGUAGES has a third, I know Polish, Sanskrit, many languages, etc. has a fourth--and there much more. Then different

SUMMARY
Grosjean鈥檚 On Bilinguals and bilingualism consists of eleven chapters, an appendix containing his position paper on the right of the deaf child to grow up bilingually, a subject and researcher index, and a list of references. The book sets itself the goal to tie together forty years of research by the author in the area of bilingualism with a specific focus on a psycholinguistic approach to the matter, to set his work against the research community鈥檚 and often the general public鈥檚 re
SUMMARY
Missionary Grammars and Dictionaries of Chinese by Otto Zwartjes focuses on the Dominicans鈥� contribution to Chinese grammar and dictionaries, notably their lexicographic tools, the writing of grammars, and the creation of a romanization system to describe Manila Hokkien, i.e., a dialect in Southern Min.

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).

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
