Calls: Psycholinguistics of Slavic Languages 2026 Call for Papers: Psycholinguistics of Slavic Languages (PsychoSlav) is a biennial conference whose aim is to bring together researchers examining Slavic languages from psycholinguistic perspective. The goal of the conference is to promote the discussion between such scholars and possibly lead to some future collaborative crosslinguistic projects. The conference was first organized at the University of Tübingen in 2022 and in 2024, by the Centre for Corpus and Experimental Research on Slavic

Unifying modifiers, classifiers and demonstratives We argue that the distributional properties of modifiers, classifiers and demonstratives with respect to nouns in Mandarin Chinese motivate a head-functor approach(Van Eynde 2006), where numeral-classifier-noun sequences are analyzed as leftbranching structures with the noun as the head. This approach explains the distributional similarities between all prenominal categories by unifying their combinatorial properties under a single phrasal schema while also accounting for theirdifferences by means of selectional constraints and a hierarchy of marking values. We also analyze classifiers themselves as special kinds of noun. All in all, ouranalysis entails that nominal complexes in Mandarin Chinese are fundamentallydifferent from those found in languages with dedicated specifiers (e.g. determinersin a language like English), suggesting a two-way typology that is parallel to theNP/DP parameter proposed in the minimalist tradition (Bošković 2007, i.a.).

Introduction post. Hi. I'm an academic doing mathematical modeling of meaning, right now mostly social meanings, literature and art, and the edges of linguistic possibility. I do activism around LGBT issues and immigration, organize parties, do art stuff. Mostly in Barcelona, also Tokyo and Berlin.
