Some have already been completed, but many more projects are about to start. At the same

In the last ten years, significant advances in deep learning models and the development of Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized the fields of computational linguistics (CL) and natural language processing (NLP). In turn, this has led to a complete re-assessment of the language resources and evaluation practices necessary for training LLMs and analyzing their outputs. In particular, the availability of very large amounts of unstructured data for training foundational models has come i

Recent studies highlight the value of bilingual education in facilitating the employability of graduates, among other positive aspects. However, they also reveal controversy and differing opinions among families whose children are enrolled in bilingual education programs (Martínez-Garrido, Hidalgo, & Moreno-Medina, 2022). Other studies have explored the perceptions of different stakeholders involved in education (Díaz Pastor & Jiménez-Jiménez, 2020; Durán-Martínez et al., 2016; Esparza Montero &

Literature as Experience-Inviting Discourse presents a general perspective on the art of literature, starting from the questions of what literature is, how it works, and what it is for. It is a main theme in the book that what we typically call literature is written to be read and freely experienced – it is “experience-inviting discourse” meant for “experience-oriented reading”. This central idea leads to a number of important literary-theoretical topics. Among the issues addressed in depth

As part of GRAPHIA, a European research project working to make Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) data easier to discover, connect, and reuse through a shared knowledge graph, we are looking for your suggestions. We believe that for linguistics researchers, this work is especially relevant. Linguistic data—corpora, lexicons, annotations, grammars, language resources, and metadata—often exists in rich but siloed forms across projects and infrastructures. Knowledge graphs provide a way to

The book examines similarities and differences between Chinese and English from structural, functional, and typological perspectives. The linguistic comparison undertaken covers various aspects of the two languages, including, for example, typological features, the phonological system, the writing system, morphological structure, syntactic structure, and information structure. The book often relates the comparison of the two languages to linguistic typology and language universals. Moreover, the

Habitual constructions, such as those based on English used to and Spanish soler, are linguistic expressions denoting situations that typically occur. This volume proposes a novel approach to such expressions, arguing that habituality is not a unified semantic category, but rather a family of related meanings which differ in their scopal position within the clause. The volume contains a detailed account of habitual meaning from the perspective of Functional Discourse Grammar as well as in-depth
