In this talk, which is based on joint work with Gregory Scontras (UC Irvine), I present a reasoning-based analysis of the projection of the content of the clausal complement of \"know\". Our model, formulated within the Bayesian Rational Speech Act framework (Frank and Goodman, 2012), derives projection from lexical entailments of \"know\" and sensitivity to the Question Under Discussion (QUD; as do Abrusán, 2011, and Simons, Beaver, Roberts, and Tonhauser, 2017), as well as reasoning about utterance informativity relative to private speaker assumptions (Qing, Goodman, and Lassiter, 2016; Warstadt, 2022). Crucially, our model predicts projection for \"know\" without encoding the inference as a lexically-specified constraint on the Common Ground (e.g., Heim 1983; van der Sandt 1992). The talk shows that the model makes better empirical predictions than other contemporary analyses of presuppositions by correctly deriving that projection is sensitive to the Question Under Discussion and to interpreters' prior beliefs.","speakers":[{"guid":"f2981d49-a28a-5cfd-8d2f-f59ee6eb81c8","id":1216,"image":null,"name":"Judith Tonhauser","public_name":"Judith Tonhauser","email":"judith.tonhauser@ifla.uni-stuttgart.de","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-13T10:45:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-13T12:15:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M18.11","id":182}},{"id":1402,"guid":"5577ca55-95cb-4150-b7ad-119a65b3c667","title":"Übersetzungsstrategien beim Transfer eines wissenschaftlichen Fachtextes aus dem Deutschen ins Tschechische","language":"de","subtitle":null,"description":null,"duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":null,"type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Applied linguistics","abstract":null,"speakers":[{"guid":"ebe8e1d1-8d4c-50fd-a2eb-3489c4386e05","id":1176,"image":"/system/people/avatars/000/001/176/original/hamburg.jpg?1760007329","name":"Anežka Hrobařová ","public_name":"Anežka Hrobařová ","email":"anezka.hrobarova01@upol.cz","abstract":null,"description":"\r\n","links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-14T15:30:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-14T16:00:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M2.31","id":193}},{"id":1463,"guid":"3da99a34-1b54-477a-a2db-ec88faf76ef9","title":"Breakfast","language":"","subtitle":null,"description":null,"duration":2700,"time_slots":3,"logo":null,"type":"","do_not_record":false,"track":"Food Time","abstract":null,"speakers":[],"start_time":"2025-11-14T08:45:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-14T09:30:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"Mensa Central","id":188}},{"id":1464,"guid":"7d79ab4f-659c-4924-ba5e-5e92a57a54ff","title":"Breakfast","language":"","subtitle":null,"description":null,"duration":2700,"time_slots":3,"logo":null,"type":"","do_not_record":false,"track":"Food Time","abstract":null,"speakers":[],"start_time":"2025-11-15T08:45:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-15T09:30:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M11.82","id":197}},{"id":1469,"guid":"1c546dba-7bba-4076-91cd-8a15b599f137","title":"Brunch","language":"","subtitle":null,"description":null,"duration":7200,"time_slots":8,"logo":null,"type":"other","do_not_record":false,"track":"Social Programme","abstract":"We will end the 78th StuTS with the traditional brunch at the Academie der schönsten Künste 'Academy of Fine Arts' (Charlottenstraße 5, 70182 Stuttgart), a lovely bistro.

The MEL is typically understood as a sequence of temporally bounded, thematically central, and realis events that correspond to the canonical progression of a narrative plot (Labov \u0026 Waletzky, 1967; Hopper, 1979; Payne, 1992). In many languages, the MEL is encoded through verbal morphology, particularly through aspectual categories such as the perfective, or mood distinctions\r\nlike the realis/irrealis divide. However, this study focuses on two indigenous languages of the Pacific Northwest—Miluk and Alsea—which diverge significantly from this crosslinguistic norm. In both languages, clause-initial discourse markers, rather than verbal morphology, serve as the primary cues for identifying MEL clauses, despite extremely rich and complex TAM morphology inventories and systems. This study and its findings extend beyond just the description and analysis of these languages, but push for typological reconsideration and investigation of narrative discourse in TAM systems across the world. It challenges traditional convential models of MEL encoding, and posits that these examples here must not be looked at as outliers or exceptions, but rather as windows into a more broad and more encompassing perspective on narrrative discourse as a whole.","duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":null,"type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Typology and Variational Linguistics","abstract":"(Abstract is attached as LaTeX file below)","speakers":[{"guid":"22d7a652-ab31-5581-8dc3-1db82d7e1bfb","id":1188,"image":null,"name":"Callum Burgess","public_name":"Callum Burgess","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-13T16:30:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-13T17:00:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M17.25","id":191}},{"id":1451,"guid":"98807f1e-aac0-4267-8ccc-f7844888c88a","title":"Closing Party","language":"","subtitle":null,"description":null,"duration":7200,"time_slots":8,"logo":null,"type":"","do_not_record":false,"track":"Social Programme","abstract":"We will also end the 78th StuTS at Café Faust (Geschwister-Scholl-Straße 24c, 70174 Stuttgart).

Learner Corpus Research (LCR) has established that more proficient learners use more sophisticated and a wider range of collocations and recurrent word combinations (Bestgen \u0026 Granger, 2018; Paquot, 2019). This highlights the role of phraseological complexity, typically defined in terms of both range (diversity) and sophistication (Paquot, 2019). A learner’s text is considered more complex when it contains a higher proportion of sophisticated and varied phraseological units rather than frequent repetitions of common word combinations (Paquot, 2019).\r\n\r\nThis study focuses on the construct of Phraseological Sophistication, which has been theorised to be measured with three dimensions: register specificity, association strength, and frequency (Paquot \u0026 Naets, 2025). Collocations that are register-specific, strongly associated, and relatively infrequent are assumed to be more sophisticated. While previous work has suggested that this construct predicts learner proficiency (Paquot, 2018; Paquot, 2019; Vandeweerd et al., 2021; Jiang et al., 2021; Paquot et al., 2022), it is unclear whether human judgments align with this theoretical construct.\r\n\r\nTo address this gap, we are conducting a validation study in which 30 expert judges will evaluate 120 verb–object collocations using a comparative judgment task (Thwaites \u0026 Paquot, 2024). Comparative judgment is a novel approach that has proven useful for evaluating complex linguistic constructs (Crossley et al., 2023; Zhang \u0026 Lu, 2024). The study design will enable us to investigate (1) the extent to which L1 English speakers share intuitions about phraseological sophistication, and (2) the influence of register specificity, association strength, and frequency on those intuitions. This poster will present the study design, explain the methodological innovations, and outline expected contributions for assessing Phraseological Sophistication in learner language.\r\n","speakers":[{"guid":"c93cc8fb-14c5-5f39-8751-2ab993842cac","id":1183,"image":null,"name":"Gabriela Vaughan","public_name":"Gabriela Vaughan","email":"gabriela.vaughan@uclouvain.be","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-14T17:00:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-14T17:15:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M17.23","id":190}},{"id":1412,"guid":"99dbe922-cb85-47ec-a8a2-874c90e6fe25","title":"Einfluss von Geschlecht und Hormonen auf die VOT deutscher Plosive","language":"de","subtitle":null,"description":null,"duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":null,"type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Phonetics and Phonology","abstract":null,"speakers":[{"guid":"7a45b2a5-7c3b-50c7-bc0a-f2d53b6ddae2","id":1181,"image":null,"name":"Lotta Hilliger","public_name":"Lotta Hilliger","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-14T12:15:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-14T12:45:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M2.41","id":194}},{"id":1395,"guid":"dce08760-1cd9-408e-a591-307c52c15847","title":"Ein Klick, viele Funktionen: Die Reply-Funktion in WhatsApp","language":"de","subtitle":null,"description":null,"duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":null,"type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Diverse","abstract":null,"speakers":[{"guid":"7ee33af4-ea16-5b5d-b115-de5c01452f9f","id":1110,"image":null,"name":"Melissa Roth","public_name":"Melissa Roth","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-14T14:45:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-14T15:15:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M2.31","id":193}},{"id":1422,"guid":"792af2c5-2c75-439a-be68-feec751ba386","title":"Exploring First Language Attrition in Adult Second Language Learners","language":"en","subtitle":"A Study on Crosslinguistic Influence in SLA","description":null,"duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":null,"type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Applied linguistics","abstract":null,"speakers":[{"guid":"03dd7a8a-7bfc-5531-abac-01c0ecf53a6f","id":1197,"image":"/system/people/avatars/000/001/197/original/professional_photo_of_me_2024.jpg?1760030623","name":"Annabelle Kienzl","public_name":"Annabelle Kienzl","email":"annabelle.kienzl@edu.uni-graz.at","abstract":"Annabelle Kienzl is a student at the University of Graz, where she studies Classical Philology, Digital Humanities, and English and American Studies with a focus on linguistics.

The focus of this study is the parliamentary text category. Previous research has predominantly addressed literary texts, particularly prose. This study examines logical cohesive relations (conjunctions) in cross-linguistic and cross-genre translational contexts, applying methods of corpus linguistics and procedures of statistical analysis. The results show outlined correlations between the distribution of explicit cohesive markers and text category in translation. Some evidence for explicitation in translated texts is found, however categorical assertions regarding universality are withheld.","duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":"/system/events/logos/000/001/411/original/lstlogo.png?1759067183","type":"other","do_not_record":false,"track":"Computational Linguistics","abstract":"The study explores shifts in explicit cohesive marking in English and German translated texts.

This analysis works whenever the ``contextual\" distribution of a portmanteau marker can be analysed as a split in two, e.g. an apparent portmanteau agreement marker can be reanalysed as an object marker that occurs with 3rd person subjects but not elsewhere. However, not all portmanteau agreement markers can be straightforwardly analysed in such a way.

Despite their ubiquity in colloquial language interjections have often been neglected in linguistics by being labeled peripheral, extra-linguistic or anomalous due to their tendency not to fit into water-tight categorisation as grammatical word-class since they exhibit atypical phonological patterns, lack syntactic embedding, and rely heavily on discourse context for interpretation, however they are among the most frequent and functionally indispensable elements of language in spoken languages and sign(ed) languages. The study highlights that interjections are a near-universal property of language  with different categories of interjections like  continuers, repair initiators, and change-of-state tokens with data from genealogically and areally different languages from my fieldwork and other academic works. Following that, it turns to culture-specific elaborations including kin-sensitive or ritualised interjections such as Yanyuwa forms /ŋalamu/ and /wari/ which are used in conventionalised social scenarios depending on the kin relations or Bininj Gun-wok practicing different interjections after a sneeze according to the clan of the sneezer. Ultimately, this study demonstrates interjections are an independent grammatical word-class with a near-universal distribution across languages and modalities with evidence from a variety of languages.

As there was limited research in this particular area, the function of the discourse marker was initially unclear. It has long been generally accepted that ‘ass’ is an abbreviation of ‘altså’ (meaning ‘so’) and is used as an intensifier, strengthening the meaning of a word or phrase, or the speaker’s attitude.  \r\n\r\nI formulated two hypotheses: (i) the discourse marker ‘ass’ is used to intensify the meaning of a word, a phrase, or the speaker’s attitude, and (ii) the discourse marker ‘ass’ can serve other purposes in addition to strengthening in a discourse.  \r\n\r\nThe data was obtained from the corpus Norsk talespråkskorpus - Oslodelen (NoTa-Oslo), and the Norwegian TV-series Flus. The data was then analyzed using a substitution method, which involved replacing ‘ass’ with other, more well-documented intensifiers. If the pragmatic meaning remained intact, the function was considered to be intensifying. If the pragmatic meaning was deviant, attempts were made to find other pragmatic particles that did not alter the meaning of the utterance.  \r\n\r\nWhat I found was that in addition to the intensifying function, the discourse marker ‘ass’ could also function mitigating in several distinct respects. For example, the discourse marker was often used in face-threatening speech-acts, such as rejection, both in regard to the positive and negative face. The thesis also argues that the discourse marker can express regret, and that this function must be regarded as distinct from the mitigating one.

Evidentialität im engeren Sinne bezeichnet die Wissensquelle, die ein Sprecher zur Qualifizierung einer Proposition angibt. In einigen Sprachen sind evidentiale Bedeutungen grammatikalisiert in beispielsweise verbalen Affixen oder Klitika. Evidentialität liegt in diesen Sprachen also sehr nah am Zentrum der Ausdrückbarkeit. Prinzipiell haben alle Sprachen entsprechende lexikalische Mittel und zeigen komplexe Interaktionen zwischen Lexikon und Morphosyntax bei der Entstehung evidentialer Bedeutungen. Wenngleich jeder Gedanke in jeder Sprache ausgedrückt werden kann, unterscheiden sich Sprachen also darin, welche Bedeutungen zusätzlich grammatisch ausgedrückt werden müssen. Dieser grundlegende Unterschied spielt auch in der Übersetzungspraxis eine Rolle, wenn etwa Bedeutungen, die in der Objektsprache grammatisch ausgedrückt werden müssen, in der Metasprache prinzipiell weglassbar sind. In der Metasprache liegt insofern eine Wahlfreiheit, die mit der Objektsprache nicht gegeben ist und über die der/die Übersetzer/in verfügen kann, aber auch verfügen muss, wenn am Ende zu einem Ausgangstext ein Zieltext notiert sein soll. Im Rahmen einer qualitativen Korpusuntersuchung wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche metasprachlichen Strategien in Deutsch und Englisch zum Ausdruck von evidentialen Bedeutungen genutzt werden.","speakers":[{"guid":"5688f712-25fe-5910-88b7-25ede3f64778","id":1196,"image":null,"name":"Nele Brathe","public_name":"Nele Brathe","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-14T16:15:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-14T16:45:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M17.74","id":192}},{"id":1389,"guid":"0b76f73b-7e13-45f4-8b78-91726b2dcc20","title":"New interface boundary, who this?","language":"en","subtitle":"Alternation of verb phrases in Bantu","description":null,"duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":null,"type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Theoretical Linguistics","abstract":null,"speakers":[{"guid":"1362bf3b-1cad-569d-a157-f21e96fc2608","id":880,"image":null,"name":"Kit Grigoleit","public_name":"Kit Grigoleit","abstract":"MA linguistics student at Leipzig University\r\n\r\ninterested in process ordering at syntax-PF and deriving the structure of grammar from boundaries at the interfaces.\r\n\r\nworking on syntactic and phonological domains in verbs \u0026 clauses and what Phase Theory can (not) do.","description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-14T15:30:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-14T16:00:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M17.23","id":190}},{"id":1447,"guid":"c5f6b10c-62e6-488f-b406-e21dc7e5c5ea","title":"Opening Plenary","language":"en","subtitle":null,"description":null,"duration":2700,"time_slots":3,"logo":null,"type":"","do_not_record":false,"track":null,"abstract":null,"speakers":[],"start_time":"2025-11-13T09:45:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-13T10:30:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M18.11","id":182}},{"id":1413,"guid":"fba77f8a-1ba1-4548-8fe8-757e8a691cd2","title":"Polish clitics on their way to freedom or fixation?","language":"en","subtitle":"Tracking word-order-patterns in Polish over 400 years","description":null,"duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":"/system/events/logos/000/001/413/original/Polish_clitics_%E2%80%93_on_their_way_to_freedom_-_Kopie-1.jpg?1762771924","type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Historical Linguistics","abstract":null,"speakers":[{"guid":"e83624f2-a981-56cd-a99f-afd8f8287570","id":814,"image":null,"name":"Jonathan Beyer","public_name":"Jonathan Beyer","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-14T14:00:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-14T14:30:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M17.74","id":192}},{"id":1456,"guid":"cfd2a908-bf74-4922-803f-e7b7ffb0de31","title":"Pub crawl","language":"","subtitle":null,"description":null,"duration":10800,"time_slots":12,"logo":null,"type":"","do_not_record":false,"track":"Social Programme","abstract":null,"speakers":[],"start_time":"2025-11-14T19:00:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-14T22:00:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"Social events","id":189}},{"id":1462,"guid":"f9a49fca-6c11-447b-81b8-a6da351d2d2d","title":"Registration \u0026 breakfast","language":"","subtitle":null,"description":null,"duration":2700,"time_slots":3,"logo":null,"type":"","do_not_record":false,"track":"Food Time","abstract":null,"speakers":[],"start_time":"2025-11-13T08:45:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-13T09:30:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"Mensa Central","id":188}},{"id":1468,"guid":"e5bc9578-02cd-4f32-bd22-bd326af37e1a","title":"Relativisation out of Temporal Adjunct Clauses in Serbian","language":"en","subtitle":null,"description":"This research looks at whether relativisation out of temporal adjunct clauses happens through movement of the wh-word from inside the temporal clause to its specCP position, or if the wh-word is base-generated at the specCP position of the temporal adjunct which is coindexed with a null pronoun in the object position of the temporal clause.

It provided a lens through which deep domestic ideological divisions became visible. Turkish media outlets, long polarized between pro-government and opposition lines, approached the U.S. election not simply as foreign news but as an opportunity to reinforce their own narratives about leadership, democracy, and national identity.\r\nIn this project, I examined the coverage of the election in four widely read newspapers—Sabah, Anadolu Ajansı, Cumhuriyet, and Sözcü—representing conservative and progressive perspectives. The choice of these outlets was deliberate: they are central actors in shaping political discourse and reflect the polarization of the Turkish public sphere. The study focused on the immediate post-election period, when editorial choices are especially telling, and asked how the victory of Donald Trump was interpreted through different ideological filters.\r\nThe analysis relied on a combination of computational and interpretive methods. Using Voyant Tools, I created word clouds, frequency counts, and collocation maps to uncover which terms dominated and how they were associated. These quantitative findings were then read critically through discourse analysis, allowing me to capture the narrative strategies behind the numbers. For example, while right-wing outlets frequently associated Trump with “stability,” “victory,” and “American values,” left-wing outlets paired his name with “division,” “populism,” and “uncertainty.” Beyond vocabulary, the structure of headlines, the use of statistics, and the presence or absence of rival political figures provided insight into the framing techniques at play.\r\nThis approach highlighted contrasts that might otherwise remain hidden. Right-leaning coverage presented Trump as a mirror for Turkey’s own strong-leadership narrative, often downplaying mention of Democratic candidates. Left-leaning media, however, contextualized Trump’s win within broader trends of populism and democratic erosion, drawing attention to the risks for global governance. Such findings underline the extent to which Turkish media uses international events as a proxy for domestic ideological battles.\r\nThe project contributes not only to studies of Turkish media but also to broader debates on how global events are reinterpreted at the national level. It demonstrates the value of combining digital text analysis with critical discourse interpretation, producing results that are both systematic and context-sensitive. At the same time, it acknowledges limitations: the focus on newspapers excludes television, digital-native platforms, and social media, which play a growing role in shaping perceptions.\r\nFuture research could expand the dataset to include these outlets and investigate how audiences receive and reinterpret such framing. Exploring reception would add a sociolinguistic dimension, clarifying whether the polarized framings found in print are mirrored in everyday political discussions. Overall, this study suggests that Turkish media’s portrayal of the U.S. elections is less about the United States itself and more about Türkiye’s own ideological struggles—a pattern that illustrates the complex entanglement of global politics and national media discourses.\r\n","duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":"/system/events/logos/000/001/431/original/20251001_2250_G%C3%B6lge_Ba%C5%9Fkanlar_ve_Kanatlar_remix_01k6grhqgvfkwa8wh5n368r8xs.png?1759352375","type":"workshop","do_not_record":false,"track":"Sociolinguistics","abstract":"This study explores how Turkish right- and left-wing media framed the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, employing Second-Level Agenda-Setting and Framing theories. My contribution to this project centered on designing the research framework, collecting and organizing the data, and conducting both corpus-based and discourse-oriented analysis. To capture ideological differences, I selected four influential Turkish newspapers: Sabah and Anadolu Ajansı, representing the right-wing perspective, and Cumhuriyet and Sözcü, representing the left-wing. From these sources, I compiled 97 articles published around the election period and processed them using Voyant Tools to conduct word frequency, collocation, and context analyses. This methodological approach enabled the identification of key terms and attributes associated with Donald Trump and the election process, providing a systematic basis for comparing ideological framing strategies.\r\nThe findings reveal that right-wing media consistently emphasized Trump’s leadership, electoral victories, and alignment with conservative American values, presenting him as a strong and stabilizing figure. In contrast, left-wing media highlighted themes of populism, societal division, and democratic erosion, portraying Trump’s victory as a sign of risk rather than stability. By linking these findings to Turkey’s domestic political climate, I demonstrated how international events are reinterpreted through national ideological lenses.\r\nMy contribution lies in integrating digital text analysis with critical discourse interpretation to reveal the interplay between media bias, political ideology, and global events. In addition, I designed the comparative framework that allowed a clear contrast between conservative and progressive narratives. I also interpreted the implications of word associations, linking them back to theoretical models of agenda-setting and framing. Another key contribution was situating the results within broader debates on media polarization in Türkiye, which added depth to the discussion. I ensured the methodology combined quantitative corpus findings with qualitative interpretations, enhancing the study’s reliability. Moreover, I emphasized how the Turkish case reflects a global pattern where domestic politics shape media portrayals of international events. Finally, I contributed to the conclusion by highlighting the need for future studies to include social media and audience reception to expand the scope of analysis.\r\n","speakers":[{"guid":"ea2e8002-6a51-5735-a799-afa070cfdf18","id":1201,"image":"/system/people/avatars/000/001/201/original/WhatsApp_Image_2025-10-01_at_17.50.18.jpeg?1759337672","name":"merve","public_name":"merve","email":"esra.sari@uni-konstanz.de","abstract":"Hello!

While many languages mark these categories morphologically on verbs, others do so through syntactic means, such as complementizer choice (see, e.g., Portner (2018)). This paper is originally a bachelor's thesis investigating the Latvian complementizer lai, which occurs primarily in directive and desiderative embedded clauses. These lai-clauses typically express non-assertive future-oriented events and resist factual interpretation:\r\n\r\n\r\nViņš         grib,                 lai  palīdzu.\r\nhe.NOM   want.3.PRES  lai  help.1.SG.PRES\r\n‘He wants me to help him.’\r\n\r\nLai can be contrasted with the more common complementizer ka used for factual, declarative statements: \r\n\r\nViņš          zina,                ka    palīdzu.\r\nhe.NOM   know.3.PRES  that  help.1.SG.PRES\r\n‘He knows that I am helping.’\r\n\r\nAlthough lai has received some descriptive attention in research (see, e.g., Holvoet (2016, 2020); Holvoet et al. (2021); Kalnača (2011); Kalnača and Lokmane (2021)), its precise syntactic status and semantic contribution in complement clauses remain largely underexplored. I aim to fill that gap by analyzing lai as a marker of subjunctive mood in Latvian. The subjunctive mood is traditionally understood as a non-indicative grammatical category used to express wishes, obligations or attitudes towards non-factual events. It is often realized as a specific morphological form on the verb, however, some languages also have dedicated subjunctive complementizers (Portner, 2018; Quer, 2017). \r\nThe thesis is guided by the following research questions: What are the syntactic and semantic properties of lai clauses in Latvian? How do these properties relate to mood-marking strategies in Romance and Balkan languages? The main goals of this thesis are (a) to provide a comprehensive overview of the syntactic properties lai exhibits and (b) to explore the hypothesis that lai encodes a distinct modal meaning comparable to the subjunctive systems found in Romance and Balkan languages. Methodologically, the thesis relies on my own introspective judgments as a native Latvian speaker.\r\n\r\nA crucial contribution of this thesis is the recognition of lai as a proper complementizer by looking at certain syntactic diagnostics, including obligatoriness, linear order, complementizer distribution and wh-extraction in order to determine its syntactic status. For instance, in the case of lai emission, the sentence in (4) obtains an indicative reading it would have if the complementizer ka was present, thus suggesting that the modal meaning in such instances is encoded in the complementizer lai:\r\n\r\n\r\nAnna                     teica,         lai   viņi                  iet               mājās.\r\nAnna.SG.NOM.F  say.3.PST  lai   they.NOM.M   go.3.PRES  home.LOC\r\n‘Anna said that they should go home.’\r\n\r\nAnna                     teica          -   viņi                 iet                mājās.\r\nAnna.SG.NOM.F  say.3.PST  -  they.NOM.M   go.3.PRES  home.LOC\r\n‘Anna said - they are going home.’\r\n\r\nAdditionally, restrictions regarding tense and subject coreference are considered and described. This work is also the first to treat lai as a subjunctive complementizer in Latvian. While earlier studies (e.g., Holvoet (2016, 2020); Holvoet et al. (2021); Kalnača (2011); Kalnača and Lokmane (2021)) have described it as a marker of irrealis or state-of-affairs complements, no previous account has provided a comprehensive syntactic and semantic characterization of lai.\r\n\r\nThe thesis is structured as follows. Chapter 2 provides a brief overview of the Latvian language, focusing on relevant grammatical features and its complementation system. Chapter 3 presents a diachronic and syntactic overview of lai, including its functions in Modern Latvian, core properties and distribution across predicate classes. Building on both existing approaches to Latvian lai as well as cross-linguistic literature on mood, modality and subjunctives, Chapter 4 is an attempt at a preliminary semantic analysis, proposing that lai contributes modal meaning in both embedded and matrix contexts. Chapter 5 briefly situates Latvian lai in a cross-linguistic perspective, comparing its behavior to subjunctive systems in Romance and Balkan languages. Finally, Chapter 6 concludes this thesis by summarizing the findings and proposing directions for future research.\r\n\r\nThroughout this thesis, I propose to analyze lai as a subjunctive marker, as it exhibits properties typical of subjunctive mood across languages. Based on syntactic and semantic diagnostics, I argue that lai contributes its own meaning and does not merely reflect the semantics of matrix predicates it co-occurs with. This thesis challenges existing accounts by showing that lai is not simply a syntactic subordinator, but a semantic operator with consistent modal effects. The findings contribute to the typology of mood and clause embedding, while laying the fundament for future research on mood and modality in complement clauses in Latvian.\r\n\r\nReferences\r\nHolvoet, A.

While often treated as a marker of irrealis or non-factual events, \"lai\" has not yet received a systematic analysis as a mood-marking complementizer comparable to subjunctive systems found in Romance and Balkan languages. This present study provides a theoretical account of \"lai\" in subordinate clauses selected by volitional, directive and some emotive predicates, such as \"gribēt\" (to want), \"lūgt\" (to ask), \"cerēt\" (to hope) and \"uztraukties\" (to worry). These \"lai\" clauses typically express non-assertive future-oriented events and resist factual interpretation. \r\nI propose to analyze \"lai\" as a subjunctive marker, as it exhibits properties typical of subjunctive mood across languages.

Guided by Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), ten posts and subsequent captions published by the account under the rubric titled “#debunk” will be investigated for their verbal and non-verbal elements, alongside discursive strategies utilized to convey a message of raising awareness on feminism and gender inequality. Each of these posts was chosen for having representative, multimodal qualities which fit the sample with text, image, and design. \r\n\r\nThe talk will elaborate on linguistic and discursive aspects of the posts, alongside visual aids (i.e., design, emojis, etc.) in the context of Serbian gendered social practices and the specific Instagram environment, hand in hand with the commentary on mechanisms through which the posts’ narrative supports shaping Serbian public discourse about feminism, patriarchy, and gender roles on social media. Moreover, the talk will review the implications of the findings, not only in terms of regional discourse studies, but worldwide, shifting the focus onto an under-researched patriarchal context and trending problems of today’s Serbian feminist movement. \r\n\r\nFinally, the talk will provide suggestions for further research of the discourse of digital feminism.","duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":null,"type":"","do_not_record":false,"track":"Sociolinguistics","abstract":null,"speakers":[{"guid":"ab1c33f9-45b9-5a20-84dd-4cd970cb6968","id":1078,"image":null,"name":"Katarina Drapšin","public_name":"Katarina Drapšin","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-14T12:15:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-14T12:45:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M17.74","id":192}},{"id":1401,"guid":"f20d2ada-e598-40f9-9597-5bbb105153df","title":"The distribution of anaphora in Norwegian ","language":"en","subtitle":"Based on norwegian speakers' own intuitions","description":"My thesis explores the usage of anaphora in Norwegian, where in the third person singular (excluding case and gender) there are four possible options: the personal pronouns “han/ho” and the reflexives “han/ho sjølv”, “seg” and “seg sjølv”. This contrasts with languages like English and German that only have two options, the personal pronouns “he/she” or “er/sie” and the reflexive “him-/herself” or “sich”. In this thesis the term “anaphor” is used about any pronoun that refers back to an antecedent (an NP with the same referent) in the same sentence. I am using Daniel Büring's (2005) principles of binding theory, and specifically his theories about Norwegian, as my reference, and comparing them to Norwegian speakers' own intuitions, as gathered from a survey.\r\n\r\nI had three hypotheses before gathering my data. First, that the data would support Büring's theories. Second, that they would not, or only in part. And third, that there is dialectal variation. Here, of course, the third hypothesis could overlap with the first two.\r\n\r\nThe method I used to gather data was an online questionnaire containing different sentences including an anaphor, where the anaphor varied between the four possible options in 3rd person singular. The participants were asked to rate the sentences on a scale from 1 (not at all acceptable) to 5 (completely acceptable). I additionally asked the participants what county their dialect was from, including options for bidialectals and non-native speakers.\r\n\r\nThe results, from 113 respondents across the country, showed that a lot of the intuitions support Büring's theories of binding in norwegian, but some of the results differ from what one would expect. This is particularly true for the use of the anaphor “seg sjølv”, which seems to be accepted in more positions than expected based on Büring (2005). In terms of dialects, the dialects from western Norway are the ones that stood out from the rest of the country.","duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":null,"type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Theoretical Linguistics","abstract":"Presenting the distribution of the four possible 3rd person singular anaphora in Norwegian, as judged by Norwegian speakers, compared to the theories of binding in norwegian by Daniel Büring (2005).","speakers":[{"guid":"e908abda-40df-55ac-80c7-14e630f2e597","id":1173,"image":null,"name":"Nova Hartvedt Olsen","public_name":"Nova Hartvedt Olsen","abstract":"I am a student currently finishing up my bachelors degree in linguistics at the University of Oslo.

This talk examines how English words, originating from a stress-based, non-tonal system, are integrated into Thai, a tonal language with five contrastive tones and strict syllable constraints. Using a dataset of thirty loanwords, elicited from three native Thai speakers in controlled sentence contexts, the analysis combines auditory judgments with acoustic visualization to track tonal assignment. \r\nThe study finds that loanwords generally follow predictable rules: live syllables tend to receive mid tones, dead syllables often carry high tones, and stress placement in English guides tones in polysyllabic words. Nevertheless, variation emerges, principally when English proficiency influences perception, showing that adaptation is not purely rule-governed but also shaped by contact and usage.\r\nThese results not only refine earlier accounts (Gandour 1979, Bickner 1986, Kenstowicz \u0026 Suchato 2006), but also underscore the flexible, creative strategies Thai employs to incorporate foreign words. More broadly, this study contributes to our understanding of how stress-based and tonal prosodic systems converge in contact situations.","duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":"/system/events/logos/000/001/408/original/English_in_Thailand_Logo.jpg?1759530694","type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Phonetics and Phonology","abstract":"How does a non-tonal, stress-based language like English find its place within the tonal system of Thai? In this talk, I explore that question through the lens of English loanwords, analyzing how Thai speakers assign tones when integrating foreign vocabulary into their language. Based on a dataset of 30 loanwords produced by three speakers, I show that the results confirm systematic patterns of tone assignment while also revealing exceptions influenced by English proficiency and perception. The findings shed light on how stress-based languages and tonal systems interact in the adaptation of loanwords.
