Call for Papers Thematic Issue on Artificial Intelligence in Language Learning and Assessment CALICO Journal 43.3, October 2026 This thematic issue seeks to deepen our understanding of how AI technologies, particularly machine learning and natural language processing (NLP), can enhance language education and impact learner outcomes. We invite original, methodologically rigorous, and empirically sound studies that focus on learner outcomes and demonstrate how AI tools, especially NLP tools power

Call for Papers: Main Session Abstracts are invited for 20-minute talks and posters on any theoretical or formal aspect of natural language, including but not limited to phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and their interfaces. Special Session: Sign Language Linguistics Abstracts are invited for 20-minute talks and posters on sign language linguistics, including but not limited to: the formal analysis of particular sign languages, the overt expression of elements implicit in

Format and target audience: The workshop/symposium consists of short talks by the participants, invited keynotes, and discussion sessions. It is aimed primarily at early career researchers in linguistics or adjacent fields. Preference will be given to scholars working on endangered and/or understudied languages and/or on methods and tools that advance research on such languages.

Call for Papers: Potential talk and discussion topics include but are not limited to: 鈥� types of linguistic data and their relationship to qualitative and quantitative analyses 鈥� transparency and reproducibility in the context of primary and secondary data 鈥� the role of understudied and endangered languages in methodological and theoretical advancements 鈥� biases in annotation and analysis of linguistic data and how they can be addressed or mitigated 鈥� the connection of quant

Call for Papers: The section on graphemics, phonetics, phonology and prosody, withing the XXXI CILFR, is open to all currents of research. Synchronic and diachronic approaches will be treated on an equal footing. All Romance languages are accepted in principle, both as research objects and as metalanguages, but comparative work on all Romance languages, or on several of them, will be particularly welcome. Among the theoretical contributions, the Section will favour those which apply different a

Call for Papers: The seminar is open to all theoretical approaches and welcomes contributions both from the perspective of pragmatics and spoken corpora construction and from the perspective of corpus driven teaching, assessment and training. Proposal submissions may include the following topics, but others related to the workshop will be welcome: - Pragmatics and spoken corpora, methodological issues (e.g. data collection and corpus construction unit, corpora annotation). - Pragmatics, spoken

On the basis of analyzed examples from many languages, basic concepts of grammaticalization theory are explained. Grammaticalization is delimited against other types of variation and change. Degrees of grammaticalization are assessed by well-defined criteria and parameters. Many well-documented cases from different functional domains are analyzed in depth. Issues of directionality are settled on a theoretical basis. The cognitive bases of grammaticalization are identified.

At the intersection of Jewish studies and linguistic research, the essays assembled in this book approach the topic of the languages of Sephardic Jews from different perspectives, spanning chronologically from the Middle Ages to the present day. Drawing on diverse sources 鈥� from medical glossaries to inquisition archives, from rabbinic responsa to recordings of today's speakers 鈥� the scholars collaborating on this project have endeavoured to reconstruct fragments of a complex and elusive linguis

Robert L. Rankin was a seminal figure in late 20th and early 21st centuries in the field of Siouan linguistics. His knowledge, like the papers he produced, was voluminous. We have gathered here a representation of his work that spans over thirty years. The papers presented here focus on both the languages Rankin studied in depth (Quapaw, Kansa, Biloxi, Ofo, and Tutelo) and comparative historical work on the Siouan language family in general. While many of the papers included have been previously

This book presents the first major study of ditransitives in Swedish. Using a combination of well-established and innovative corpus-based methods, the book reveals considerable changes in the constructional behaviour of ditransitive verbs over the course of the last 200 years. The key finding is that the use of the so-called double object construction has decreased dramatically in terms of frequency, lexical richness and semantic range. This development is parallelled by a decisive increase in p

Since the translation of the Septuagint in the 3rd century BCE, scholars have attempted to identify the stones that populate the biblical text. This study rejects the long-standing reliance on ancient translations for identifying biblical stones. Despite the evident contradictions and historical inconsistencies, scholars traditionally presumed these translations to be reliable. By departing from this approach, this volume presents a novel synthesis of comparative linguistics and archeogemologica

This book explores the evolution of modal constructions of necessity and obligation in New Englishes. Focusing on Singapore English, analysis of corpus data reveals lower levels of grammaticalization compared to its lexifier, British English. This trend is explained through the lenses of a 鈥減an-stratist鈥� model, which considers a spectrum of forces influencing the dynamics of contact. On the one hand, cognitive mechanisms seem to favour the selection of less grammaticalized (and more transparent)
