Call for Papers: The goal of our workshop is to stimulate a joint effort of linguists for understanding wordhood and wordhood-related phenomena in West African languages and beyond.

We also welcome submissions dealing with languages from other linguistic areas from lingui

Call for Papers: We invite contributions to our workshop on using large language models (LLMs) in the history, philosophy, and sociology of science (HPSS).

Call for Papers: In our workshop, we aim to bridge the gap between grammatical theories and empirical research, addressing the need for exploring how theoretical grammar can be used to systematically classify and investigate indeterminacy (cf. Winkler 2015). The following research questions will be discussed in our workshop: • Which phenomena of indeterminacy (ambiguity, vagueness and polysemy) can be found in grammar? On which linguistic levels (word types, sentence structure, morphological s

Genetic and areal relations between Cushitic and Omotic languages are re-examined using the method of stepwise reconstruction. To this end, the list of about 180 most stable basic meanings is prepared. Proto-East and South Cushitic, Proto-North and South Omotic basic lexicons are reconstructed within this wordlist together with regular phonemic correspondences between daughter languages of these families. Main types of root structure in these proto-languages and patterns of their evolution in t
