AFRILEX is celebrating its 30th year of existence. To commemorate this special occasion, the AFRILEX Board decided on a theme that engages with the role the association鈥檚 members and affiliates played in Africa鈥檚 lexicographic landscape over the last 30 years. Abstracts dealing with all aspects of lexicography and terminology, or the demonstrable implications or ramifications that research in related disciplines such as linguistics, computer and information science, etc., has for lexicograph

Final Call for Papers: Workshop Description: When we refer to entities and events in our environment, particularly (but not only) when visual information is present, we have choices. Depending on what has been said before, who or what else is in a scene, and the characteristics of what we want to refer to, we might say (among many other options) "the person running", "the runner", "the woman in the red shirt", "the one with the glasses", or "them over there". The extent of this variation i

Final Call for Papers: Extended Deadline: April 15, 2026 (Anywhere on Earth) Description: Polysemous expressions have multiple closely related senses, and there is a substantial amount of semantic and computational linguistic research on polysemy found in different categories of expressions, such as adjectives, nouns and verbs. However, the extent to which there is interaction between researchers working on polysemy in different categories of expressions is limited. This workshop will foc

Final Call for Papers: For this edition of the Pozna艅 Linguistic Meeting, we invite participants to engage with the leitmotif 鈥淟inguistics in dialogue: looking for parallels beyond language鈥�. We would like to encourage reflection on how linguistic phenomena can be illuminated/informed by other domains. Linguistics has long relied on analogies to describe, explain, and model language: language as a system, as a network, as a biological capacity, as a cultural phenomenon. Such metaphors ofte

Call for Papers: The Institute of Modern Greek Studies [Manolis Triandaphyllidis Foundation] of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, within the framework of the annual international conferences on the study of the Greek language across its historical and geographical range, organizes on November 5-7, 2026, in Thessaloniki, the 11th International Conference entitled: "50 years since the official end of the Greek diglossia: New approaches on the occasion of an anniversary" The Confe

SUMMARY The study conducted in this research is based on a youth language in Aflao, Ghana. The researcher answers two vital questions in this study: 鈥榃hat is involved in the creation of Adzagbe among the youth of Alfao?鈥� and 鈥榃hy do the youth of Aflao create Adzagbe? The researched language, Adzagbe, is an Ewe-based youth language that was created as a code or secret language amongst the youth of Aflao. This study demonstrates what exactly goes into creating this youth language. This research

AUTHOR (STUDENT): ANDRIES VAN NIEKERK Abstract ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa鈥檚 history of segregation was a large contributing factor for lexical variation in South African Sign Language (SASL) to come about. Foreign sign languages certainly had a presence in the history of deaf education; however, the degree of influence foreign sign languages has on SASL today is what this study has aimed to determine. There have been very limited studies on the presence of loan signs in SASL and none have

Final Call for Papers: This conference aims to support and promote research that significantly utilizes sources in Turkish or other Turkic languages by graduate students from fields including but not limited to literature, history, linguistics, language education, and related fields at North American academic institutions. It also offers a collaborative platform for the student presenters to share their work and exchange research ideas with their peers and the colleagues in attendance from th

This volume presents a series of studies and reviews that provide insights into grammatical variation and the development of code-switching in neurotypical speakers, as well as into language mixing practices among individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions. Across seven chapters, a range of themes is explored, including: community norms and language practices, the influence of caregivers on bilingual development, attitudes and ideologies surrounding bilingualism, code-switching as a communic

This book explores the application of Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies to teaching Persian as a foreign language, with particular focus on Arabic-speaking learners. Drawing on empirical data from the AZFA Persian Learner Corpus at Ilam University, it demonstrates how computational methods can address longstanding pedagogical challenges in Persian language instruction. The work examines learner corpus development and annotation frameworks, presenting systematic approaches to categor

This book presents a comprehensive framework for teaching Persian as a foreign language through culturally immersive digital games, specifically designed for Iraqi Arabic-speaking learners. Grounded in interactional linguistics, task-based language teaching, and sociocultural theory, the study develops and evaluates seven digital games that address critical challenges in Persian acquisition: pronunciation of difficult phonemes (/蕭/, /x/, /散/), vocabulary retention, grammatical accuracy (imperati

This book presents a comprehensive corpus-based pedagogical grammar of the Persian verbal system specifically designed for Iraqi Arabic-speaking learners. The Persian verb system constitutes one of the most challenging aspects of Persian grammar for second language learners, involving complex morphological structures, intricate semantic distinctions, and sophisticated discourse functions. For Iraqi Arabic speakers, whose first language organizes verbal information through fundamentally different

The field of Teaching Persian as a Foreign Language (TPFL) has long relied on materials that, while practical, rarely draw on systematic insights from generative linguistics, cognitive semantics, or second-language acquisition research. As a result, persistent transfer errors, particularly from Arabic, Turkish, and English, continue to fossilize, and complex features such as the ezafe construction, the particle r芒, and the pragmatic system of taarof remain disproportionately difficult to acquire

The volume examines migration from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to the German diaspora, offering a multifaceted perspective that combines historical and contemporary insights. It moves beyond viewing migration as a momentary event, instead situating it within a broader narrative that considers the impact of origin countries. By studying communities such as Georgians, Jews, Aramaic speakers, Kurds, Afghans and Berbers, the book explores how linguistic, social, and cultural facto

For 150 years there has been a question over how the Austronesian languages of eastern Indonesia and Timor-Leste fit into the Austronesian world. The area is severely under-documented. There has been no consensus on the classification of these languages, and scholars admit to being perplexed. This is the first systematic attempt at subgrouping the whole region based on historical phonology, supplemented by morphosyntax and the lexicon. Insights from archaeology, DNA studies, and awareness of lon

Even is an endangered Northern Tungusic language spoken in numerous small settlements by formerly completely nomadic hunters and reindeer herders dispersed over northeastern Siberia, from the Lena-Yana watershed in the west to the Sea of Okhotsk and Kamchatka in the east. This geographical spread has led to considerable dialectal fragmentation, with substantial differences between the peripheral dialects, not least due to differential contact influence.
