Due to a long history of contact, the Chadic languages are the internally most diverse of the Afroasiatic language families, especially in terms of their sound systems. In this ground-breaking study, the author draws on his extensive research experience to unpack the morpho-phonological principles that underpin the languages' diverse prosody effects, arguing that massive variation results from diachronic processes called 'prosodification' of segmental units. The study compares data from 66 of th

Ever since the beginning of the minimalist enterprise in the early 90-ies, the Program has been trying to reconcile the ambitious task of formulating a comprehensive, compact and streamlined theory of grammar with the need for broad empirical coverage and adequacy. In the process, the theory has impacted research on particular constructions and languages and, in turn, particularly successful empirical analyses fed theory-oriented proposals. For the past 35 years the Program has been evolving but

Call for Papers: For this edition of the Poznań Linguistic Meeting, we invite participants to engage with the leitmotif “Linguistics in dialogue: looking for parallels beyond language”. 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 often sha
