Workshop at the EVOLANG conference, 7-10 April 2026 Conveners: Judith Verstegen, Sietze Norder, Nicholas Q. Emlen, Derek Karssenberg & Rik van Gijn Linguistic diversity is unevenly distributed across the globe: hotspots of language, genealogical, and structural diversity are surrounded by large areas with a low linguistic variation. This non-random spatial distribution suggests that, mediated through cultural behavior, the biophysical environment plays a key role in the evolution of linguist

La geograf铆a ling眉铆stica es un m茅todo de investigaci贸n dialectal que florece a finales del siglo XIX con el fin de servir de apoyo para comprobar las hip贸tesis sobre la evoluci贸n del cambio ling眉铆stico a partir de la representaci贸n de la lengua en mapas.

Angesichts der tiefgreifenden Wandlungsprozesse, die die heutige Geisteswissenschaft allgemein und die Romanistik im Besonderen pr盲gen, lohnt es sich, den Begriff des Kontinuums neu zu beleuchten.

While love and desire are often treated as personal and private matters, they are also sites of conflict, negotiation, and power. Historically, controlling expressions of desire has been used to enforce social hierarchies, gender norms, and colonial power. Even today, conflicts over consent, domestic violence, LGBTQ+ rights, and cross-cultural misunderstandings reveal the urgent need to better understand how love and desire are communicated. Addressing these questions is not only of academic int
