We are excited to announce the second edition of a new recurring meeting dedicated exclusively to computational psycholinguistics.
This meeting aims to provide a dedicated platform for researchers and practitioners to discuss computational models that explain and predict human linguistic behavior (e.g., as observed in psycholinguistic experiments), to bring together experts from different subfields to advance our understanding of language processing mechanisms, and to analyze the successes an
EDIMA, the IMA鈥檚 School of Didactics, is an initiative launched in 2023 by Arabic Language and Civilization Centre [CLCA] of Institut du Monde Arabe [IMA]. It gathers international figures in the teaching of Arabic as a foreign language. One of EDIMA鈥檚 long-term objectives is to create and maintain an international network of Arabic language teaching experts 鈥� researchers and field practitioners.
For its 4th edition, to be held in the autumn of 2026, EDIMA aims to explore the training of tea
This workshop explores Long Distance Agreement (LDA) phenomena, focusing on how agreement mechanisms go beyond local domains.
We aim at discussing the implications of their findings for syntactic theory, particularly regarding locality conditions, the interaction of movement with agreement, the potential overlap (or lack thereof) of Case and agreement domains, and, more generally, the variation landscape that we may expect when we compare languages differing in dependent types (infinitives, no

Polysemy in the Evalutive Sphere is a seminar pertaining to the project Slurs and the Lexicon: A Rich-Lexicon Approach to Slurs and Other Evaluative Expressions - LEXISLUR (https://danzeman.weebly.com/lexislur.html) featuring monthly talks by specialists in polysemy. We cordially invite you to a talk by Tamara Dobler (Free University of Amsterdam) entitled "Derogation by Co-composition: Nominal Structure and Evaluative Meaning" (see the abstract below). The event takes place online on Friday, MA
The Centre for Corpus Research at the University of Birmingham cordially invites you to this year鈥檚 Sinclair Lecture, which will be delivered by Professor Andrew Kehoe (Birmingham City University). The lecture will take place on Monday, 6 July, at 6.00 pm (British Summer Time) and is titled 鈥淭racking language use across time: 25 years of innovation鈥�.
The lecture will be held in Alan Walters G03 on the University of Birmingham鈥檚 Edgbaston campus and will also be livestreamed. As in previous ye
Focus: The program combines grammatical theory with applied teaching proposals: linguistic variation, reflective grammar, multilingualism, Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE), corpora, visual syntax, and new ways of working with grammar in the classroom.
Description:
Grammar teaching needs spaces for dialogue between research and the classroom. It is precisely with this aim that the GramEn School was created, whose second edition will take place from June 29 to July 3, 2026, in Barcelona.
HackaCon is an interdisciplinary challenge exploring one of the hardest problems in AI and interaction research: can AI generate a 鈥渞ecording鈥� of a convincingly natural-sounding conversation? Moreover, can it make that conversation sound like it has happened between two specific speakers 鈥� in our case, Agent Luke and Chris Nemesis 鈥� people who have never interacted? And can it make them chat about specific topics?
In different words, unlike conventional AI hackathons and generation tasks, Hac
As custodians of global public discourse today, transnational tech platforms govern who may speak, to whom, and how. While they have helped document and revitalize minoritized languages and connect diasporic communities, they also make language-related decisions that can disproportionately disadvantage speakers of those languages. On platforms like Facebook, non-English users navigate a linguistic environment where content moderation is often severely under-resourced compared to that available t
This Element has three main aims. First, the authors wish to synthesize research on language teacher psychology to provide state-of-the-art insights into the topic and identify possible avenues of scholarship. They do so by adopting a trilogy of mind perspective, which helps organize aspects of teacher psychology into three domains: cognition, affect, and motivation. Second, the overview of the literature outlines key issues, identifies gaps in current understandings and scholarship, and it also
This Element explores the relationship between creativity, poetry, and cognition through the lenses of cognitive linguistics and cognitive poetics. Section 1 situates poetic creativity within the frameworks of conceptual metaphor theory, cognitive grammar, and text world theory, reconsidering traditional views of creativity by showing how linguistic structures underpin both writing and reading poetry. Section 2 adopts an autoethnographic approach, documenting the writing of poems, demonstrating
This Element examines the origins, development, and prospects of forensic linguistics in Indonesia, drawing on a survey of 53 participants and a systematic review of studies from 2011 to 2023. Emerging from early language-related cases in the Old Order era and initially driven by scholars trained abroad, the field has grown through research, collaboration, and academic integration. Key topics include justice sector needs, linguistic diversity, standardization, and institutional strengthening. De
This Element introduces PrInDT (Prediction and Interpretation in Decision Trees), a statistical approach for modeling relationships between extra- and intralinguistic variables in World Englishes. It is based on decision trees and controls their size in a way that they are easy and straightforward to interpret. Furthermore, PrInDT optimizes their accuracy so that they best fit the data and can be reliably used for prediction. Moreover, it can handle unbalanced classes that occur, for example, wh
This book showcases the current state of the art of research on rhythm in speech and language. Decades of study have revealed that bodily rhythms are crucial for producing and understanding speech and language, and for understanding their evolution and variability across populations-not only adults, but also developmental and clinical populations. It is also clear that there is perplexing dimensionality and variability of rhythm within and across languages. This book offers the scientific founda
