The Kinds of Agency conference invites interdisciplinary exploration of the many forms and manifestations of agency. From intentional action and communication to moral responsibility, autonomy, and selfhood, agency is central to our understanding of human cognition and behavior. Yet it is increasingly clear that agency is not a singular phenomenon: it may be distributed, embodied, emergent, nonhuman, or collective. Our aim is to foster cross-disciplinary discussions on various types or kinds of

In general approaches to language contact and contact-induced change, the subject of research is typically the linguistic consequences of interaction between communities speaking different languages (Goebl et al. 1996, Thomason 2001, Myers-Scotton 2002, Winford 2003, Siemund & Kintana 2008, Matras 2009, Hickey 2010, a.m.o.). Contact between geographical varieties of a language is usually analyzed under the same framework as with autonomous languages. One difference often highlighted is that borr
Since the advent of transdisciplinary death studies in the 1970s, a plethora of research has been conducted in the humanities and social sciences on death-related issues, including end-of-life conditions and bereavement.

SUMMARY
In Language Policy and the New Speaker, Colin H. Williams draws on decades of research in minority language policy to offer a grounded analysis of the 鈥榥ew speaker鈥� concept.
Organised into nine chapters, the book moves coherently from definitional debates to comparative case studies and, finally, to a synthesis of findings and policy recommendations. Chapter 1 introduces the emergence of the 鈥榥ew speaker鈥� concept and situates it within broader debates on multilingualism, minoritise
My name is Runyu Wu, a PhD student in University of Groningen.
I am conducting a short online study on how listeners perceive the similarity between different English accents. I am seeking participants who are from a European country and for whom English is not a first language. Normal hearing is required, and participation should be completed on a computer by using Google chrome; headphones are recommended for best audio quality.
