Call for Papers: We invite the submission of abstracts for the Computational Linguistics poster session of the 49th annual meeting of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS), hosted by the University of Jena. We invite submissions from all areas of computational linguistics, ranging from models of language across all linguistic areas to corpus lingusitics, multimodal approaches and studies on LLM capability assessment. We especially encourage students and junior researchers to participate. Th

Call for Papers: This workshop is organized as part of the 49th Annual Conference of the Linguistic Society of Germany (DGfS 2027). Workshop organizers: Esther Rinke (Goethe University Frankfurt) Esther Ruigendijk (Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg) Workshop Description: There is a consensus that children are well equipped for the task of language acquisition, enabling them to master many developmental milestones in their first language(s) by the age of 3 or 4. The quest to exp

Call for Papers: This workshop is organized by Marianna Lohmann and Barbara Schlücker (Freie Universität Berlin) as part of the 49th Annual Conference of the German Linguistic Society (49. Jahrestagung der DGfS 2027 „Sprache unter dem Mikroskop – Beobachtung, Analyse, Theorie“), which will take place in Jena from 3 to 5 March 2027. Workshop Description: Copular clauses are simple syntactic structures. They consist minimally of a (referential) NP as subject and a (non-verbal) predicate whi

Call for Papers: Newer results on modal particles (MPs) show that they have a large variety of functions that go beyond their Common Ground-managing function in an utterance (Repp, 2013). MPs have been shown to interact with gestural information (Schoonjans, 2018), Perspectivization (Klages, 2020; Hüge, 2025), and coherence relations (Döring & Repp, 2019; Seemann, 2025). Their contribution of not-at-issue meaning has been argued to impose additional use-conditions and processing costs (Hinter

Call for Papers: [Deadline extended to 16 August] Sign languages and the diverse paths to their acquisition offer a unique opportunity to gain insight into linguistic theory and human cognition. Structurally, the visual-gestural modality has different affordances and demands than the oral-aural modality and these have implications for linguistic theory (Perniss 2018). Socially, signer demographics are extremely varied due to factors such as (familial) hearing status, language ideology, and

Call for Papers: This workshop is organized as part of the DGfS 49th Annual Conference 2027 'Language under the Microscope – Observation, Analysis, Theory' Workshop Description: Clitic pronouns and agreement markers are traditionally treated as distinct elements of grammar: clitics as (deficient) pronouns, agreement as a purely morphological reflex of syntactic relations. However, a growing body of work has pointed to systematic similarities between them, raising the question of whether

Call for Papers: This workshop is organized as part of the 49th Annual Conference of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS 2027). NOTE: the submission deadline has been extended to July 31, 2026. Workshop Description: Information Structure (IS) is a broad domain of linguistic inquiry, addressing how speakers organize and present information in discourse. Crucially, languages employ a wide range of strategies across (morpho)syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and prosody to package information

Call for Papers: The workshop submission deadline has been extended to July 31! One of the central goals of syntactic typology is to reduce complex linguistic phenomena—and the often fine-grained variation they exhibit across languages—to a set of simpler underlying mechanisms. This enterprise involves deriving a wide range of syntactic constructions from constrained sets of features or other syntactic primitives that can combine in different constellations across languages. In this worksh

Scalar focus particles (ScalFocPs) like ‘even’ and ‘only’ have played a central role in alternative semantics and related fields ever since their development (Jacobs 1983, Rooth 1985, 1992). Their syntax and semantics have been at the center of much recent work on languages other than commonly studied varieties of English (cf. Hole 2013, Sun 2020 on Vietnamese; Quek & Hirsch 2017 on Singaporean English; Hole 2017, 2023, Wimmer 2020, 2022, Yuan 2024 on Chinese; Yip 2024, 2026 on Cantonese, Vietna
