This book explores how silence occurs across languages, literatures and cultures, fulfilling a wide range of communicative functions. It examines how silence can be collective or individual, intentional or unintentional, conveying meanings that extend beyond words and shaping interaction, perception and expression. The volume investigates the multifaceted nature of silence from literary, semiotic and cultural perspectives, weaving together analyses that reveal its complexity across different

Call for Papers: Co-organised by the International Linguistic Society and DELAD (Database Enterprise for Language and Speech Disorders) Language disorders affect individuals across all ages and languages. While many are congenital and emerge in early childhood, others develop later in life as a result of neurological conditions, illness, or injury.

Dialogues that showcase language use in order to promote oral language competence are a constant feature of foreign language teaching materials. The norms underlying these dialogues, the everyday linguistic situations they depict or omit, are subject to historical change. This is particularly evident in the linguistic and discursive construction of verbal politeness conveyed in the dialogues. These dialogues are fictional and didactically oriented, but they nevertheless draw on the communicative

Pioneering researchers of twentieth-century argots developed by sexual and gender minorities documented covert lexicons employed by trans women and gay men – often including sex workers – and, to a lesser extent, lesbian women and trans men (Hayes 1976; Painter 1981; Sonenschein 1969). This research typically explained the emergence of in-group linguistic practices through the lens of Halliday’s (1976) anti-language framework. As the field of lavender linguistics developed, however, scholars

La compréhension de l’oral constitue une des compétences fondamentales dans l’apprentissage des langues (Gadet et Guérin, 2008, Zoghlami et Hilton, 2021). Malgré sa complexité et son intérêt, elle gagnerait toutefois à faire l’objet de davantage de recherches (Vandergrift and Goh, 2012 ; Wolf et al., 2019 ; He et al., 2022), notamment en raison de la diversification des supports et canaux par lesquels transitent les intrants langagiers (contextes officiels ou formels – i.e. radio, TV, conférence

This dissertation aims to acoustically characterize the Nepali speech sounds. A limited number of works are available in this field, and most of them cover only some aspects of the plosives and affricates. The work to cover all the Nepali speech sounds is Pokharel (1989), which is general in nature and is based on limited data from a single speaker. This study has characterized all the Nepali speech sounds in different phonetic and production environments using the latest theoretical and methodo

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.
