By silence we refer to instances of communication in which there is no signifi茅 (signified), but something meaningful is contributed; by noise, we refer to cases in which there is more than one signifier or where the signified itself is ambiguous. Conceiving of communicat

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

The very first days of 2026 have witnessed the proliferation of Grok AI-generated deepfakes on X.

The goal of ExAPP is to gather scholars employing experimental methods to investigate linguistic variation. We welcome abstracts for posters and papers that cover aspects of variation on all linguistic levels, and the perception as well as the production thereof. These include, but are not limited t

Nearly half a century has passed since the earliest formulations of the Null Subject Parameter in generative linguistics. In that time, much has been discovered about how and when arguments may remain silent cross-linguistically, but much remains unclear. The aim of this workshop is to take stock of what has been learned, and to propose new ideas and new directions for the study of what have variously been called 鈥渘ull鈥� or 鈥渦nexpressed鈥� arguments, 鈥減ro-drop鈥�, 鈥渁rgument ellipsis鈥� and more.
