Historical sociolinguistics is no longer Europe only or early modern only.
Brown, Natvig and Salmons bring together studies from Old Babylonian to Mayan inscriptions and Deaf communities to show how language, society, and history interact across time and space.

Variationist Sociolinguistics is producing more results than we can reliably synthesize.
Meta-analyses can turn scattered findings—especially from big-city datasets—into testable generalizations, instead of leaving the field at the mercy of selective narrative reviews.

A beige, minimalist graphic designed like a journal quote card. At the top, in uppercase letters, it reads: “READ IN CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA,” separated from the body text by a thin horizontal line. Below, aligned to the left, a long quotation appears in dark gray text. A vertical line in the left margin visually marks the quotation. One sentence in the middle of the text—“researchers remain dependent on narrative literature reviews”—is highlighted with a light purple background, drawing emphasis to this point. The quoted text discusses the need for further meta-analyses in Variationist Sociolinguistics, especially in major urban centers, arguing that without them researchers rely on narrative literature reviews with lower explanatory power and greater risk of bias. Near the bottom, the authorship line appears in small caps: “SANTOS, P. H. S. DOS; VITÓRIO, E. G. DE S. L. A., 2025.” In the lower-left corner, there is a small abstract decorative icon composed of short radiating lines, resembling a subtle sunburst or signal mark. The overall layout is clean, academic, and calm, with generous spacing and a neutral color palette.

In Brazilian Portuguese, “não” can appear before or after the verb. A meta analysis by Pedro Henrique Sousa dos Santos compares regional studies and finds that education often conditions this choice, sex or gender rarely does, and age yields mixed results.

When a sentence has two possible referents, the conjunction can steer how readers resolve “he”. In the study, conclusive links like “therefore/so” tended to push readers toward the first name mentioned (the more distant one), leading to the most common choice.

Understanding cross-language interference helps explain why learners invent certain words. A paper by Alessandra Baldo shows these forms often reflect systematic strategies, suggesting teaching can design targeted activities instead of treating them as random errors. doi.org/10.25189/267...
The image is a minimalist text card on a light beige background. At the top, in small uppercase letters, it says “READ IN CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA,” with a thin horizontal line above and below. Centered on the card is a short paragraph set in dark text. Two phrases—“cross-language” and “interference”—are softly highlighted in pale pink. The text states that a clearer understanding of cross-language interference in language learning can support foreign language development by helping teachers design activities that target learners’ specific needs. Below the paragraph, aligned toward the lower left, is the citation “BALDO, A, 2025.” In the bottom-left corner, there is a small decorative icon made of short radiating lines, resembling a subtle sunburst or signal mark.

A new article by Alessandra Baldo suggests that when advanced learners get stuck, they often build target-like words using patterns from their native language—pointing teachers toward feedback on recurring repair strategies rather than isolated mistakes. doi.org/10.25189/267...
The image is a clean, minimalist text card on a light beige background. At the top, in small uppercase letters, it reads: “READ IN CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA,” separated by thin horizontal lines above and below. Centered in large, dark text is the question: “What should teachers do when an L2 learner makes up a word?” Below, a paragraph explains the idea. One phrase, “lexical gap,” is visually highlighted with a soft pink background. The full text says that instead of treating the invented word as a random error, teachers can see it as an attempt to bridge a lexical gap, and turn this into a teaching strategy by working with cross-language lookalikes, productive affixes, and word building in context, so learners make more reliable writing choices. In the bottom-left corner, there is a small decorative icon made of short radiating lines, resembling a subtle sunburst or signal mark.

Learners sometimes fill lexical gaps by adapting a known word into a target-like form or by using an existing word with an imported meaning. Baldo documents these patterns in advanced learner writing and shows how cross-language knowledge can surface even at high proficiency.

Most word “slips” in L2 writing happen under the radar. In this study, Baldo argues learners often don’t notice their lexical deviationsnand would likely be unable to explain what triggered them. She suggests introspective methods like verbal protocols. doi.org/10.25189/267...

Yes, and manner of posting matters as well. I follow several journals and even those that post infrequently but effectively can get decent engagement.

Using graphics with alt-text (esp. when URL doesn't show thumbnail), brief summaries, authors' names, hashtags for applicable feeds, etc. all help.👇🏾

You describe an action one way; the reply renames it with a loaded label—like calling a land occupation an “aggression.” Zoé Camus shows how this kind of relabeling can redraw what a political discussion can be about next.

A clean quote card on a mint-green background. Near the top, a thin dark line stretches across the width, and below it the header reads “READ IN CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA,” with “CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA” in bold. On the left side of the quote area there is a thick vertical bar, like a stylized quotation mark. The main text is an English quote in dark gray: “When you produce an utterance in a political interaction or a social conflict, you are not acting on an interlocutor or on a prior utterance; you are modifying the semantic configuration of the conflictual interaction.” The words “semantic configuration” are emphasized with a light rectangular highlight behind them. Below the quote, the attribution reads “CAMUS, Z., 2025.” In the bottom-left corner, a small abstract logo made of short dark strokes forms a fan-like burst.

Evidence on categorization in aphasia and dementia comes mostly from a narrow language base. When experimental data are missing for some languages, cross-language comparison and clinical inference are harder. doi.org/10.25189/267...
The image is a clean, text-based editorial card with a light turquoise background. At the top, in small uppercase letters, it says “READ IN CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA,” separated from the main text by a thin horizontal line. The center of the image contains a large block of uppercase dark-gray text that reads: “If categorization is a shared pressure point in aphasia and dementia, the evidence base still lacks experimental work in Portuguese—limiting cross-language clinical inference.” Key words such as “CATEGORIZATION,” “APHASIA,” “DEMENTIA,” and “CROSS-LANGUAGE” appear in a heavier font weight for emphasis. In the bottom left corner, there is a small decorative graphic made of short radiating lines. The overall design is minimalist, modern, and focused entirely on the message.

Experimental work suggests that neurological conditions can raise the “cost” of meaning-based categorization—slowing decisions and increasing variability in performance. That makes everyday semantic judgments a useful window into language–cognition interaction.
doi.org/10.25189/267...
A vertical, clean academic card on a light beige background. At the very top, in small uppercase letters, it reads: “READ IN CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA”, with a thin horizontal line beneath it. Centered below, in larger text, there is a question: “Which language ability can change in aphasia and dementia?” A thin horizontal line separates the question from the answer. The answer appears as a short paragraph in dark gray text. The word “classification” is highlighted with a turquoise background. The text explains that, in some neurological conditions, grouping words or objects by meaning can become slower and less consistent, and that deciding “what belongs where” may require more effort, especially when tasks rely on meaning rather than simple visual matching. At the bottom left corner of the card, there is a small abstract graphic made of short, radiating lines, serving as a subtle decorative element. The overall layout is minimalist, with generous spacing and high contrast designed for easy reading.

When a task feels automatic, we rarely notice how much work it takes. Experimental research shows that changes in language or memory can slow down everyday decisions that depend on meaning—and sometimes make them less reliable.

A vertical, minimalist academic card on a light beige background. At the top, in small uppercase letters, it reads: “READ IN CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA”, separated from the rest of the content by a thin horizontal line. Below, a bold title appears in uppercase: “CLASSIFICATION IN APHASIA AND DEMENTIA”. The title is highlighted with a horizontal turquoise band behind the text, making it stand out visually. Under the title, there is a block of left-aligned paragraph text in dark gray. The text explains that classifying things is usually easy for people without neurological impairments, giving the example that deciding an “apple” is a fruit is typically quick and effortless. It then states that experimental studies suggest this is not always the case in aphasia and dementia, where meaning-based classification can take longer and be less consistent. At the bottom left corner of the card, there is a small abstract graphic element made of short radiating lines, resembling a subtle logo or decorative mark. The overall design is clean, uncluttered, and uses generous white space to emphasize readability.
