Intensification is far more diverse than just lexicogrammatical phenomena, with phenomena occurring on on all communicative

All Germanic languages exhibit patterns in which two components of a constituent interpreted as a semantic complex surface in a discontinuous syntactic configuration. Such constructions include, e.g., so-called what-for-phrases (1), locative adverbs featuring indexical particles (2), prepositional adverbs (3) and aggressively non-D-linked expressions (4): (1) Norwegian [Hva](i) har du lest [t(i) for slags bok]? what have you read for sorts book ‘What kind of book did you read?’ (Leu

Linguistic research and theory construction has for a long time been conducted from a very Eurocentric perspective and mainly based on intuition. This type of armchair linguistics has been rightfully criticized, but fortunately, the last decades have seen a shift to more empirically oriented methods. Naturally, these methods were initially applied to well-known languages like English and German. However, more recently, empirical methods have also been more consistently applied to understudied la

Call for Abstracts: Human communication is a multimodal system. Research on the contribution of the visual modality - in terms of gestures - to linguistics has grown in the last years. While aspects of gesture’s meaning and function have been intensively studied, less attention has been paid to visual and kinematic features, which nevertheless form the building blocks from which multimodal utterances constitute their meaning. To fully grasp the meaning and function of gestures and gradual var

Templatic morphology is characterised by morphological exponents that are either expressed by an invariant prosodic shape or by affixes that require a templatic form of the base to which they attach. The clearest examples can be found in Afroasiatic languages, as well as in some languages of California, e.g., Palestinian Arabic suxn ‘hot’, b-yusxun ‘it becomes hot’, saxxan ‘he heated (sth.) up’, sxuːne ‘fever’, and Sierra Miwok hallik-ihhɨʔ ‘he used to hunt’, halik-mehnɨhakt̪eʔ ‘I was hunting on
