The dynamic relationship between modern times and fragmentation offers a way to explore connections between individuals and communities, specificity and universality, in today鈥檚 complex reality. The relationship between the contemporary and fragmentation can be observed from two perspectives: the fragment intended as a self-sufficient entity or as a part of a larger, more complex reality.
The first perspective aligns with the etymological dimension of the word 鈥榝ragment鈥�,
Metaphor, nation and (perma)crisis: Conceptualizing nationhood and group belonging in the 鈥榥ew normal鈥� Europe
Economic and social crises have long been associated with a rise in nationalism and national reconceptualization (Bergmann 2020). While the realities of the third decade of the 21st century seem to bring a change in conceptualizing crisis itself, as captured by the recent neologism of permacrisis 鈥� a time of multiple and parallel crises, marked by a transnational pandemic, longstandin

Human beings exist in time, and their experiences unfold in time. Not surprisingly, all natural languages have expressions of some kind or other that convey temporal notions: some situate events in the past, present or future (tenses and time adverbials), others indicate an event鈥檚 inception, duration or end (aspectual constructions), and yet others present an event as imminent, in progress or accomplished from the perspective of the moment of speech (verbal periphrases). The way in which we tal

Multimodal analysis of caregiver/patient interaction in the intensive care unit
Abstract
Through a real-life observational study, the project aims to explain the conditions for handling pragmatic disorders in the context of intensive care unit. In order to ultimately improve interactional conditions in this emergency situation (i.e., where the life prognosis is at stake), the goal will be to project the requirements for eff
This book synthesises research on very early language learning in pre-primary organised instruction settings such as kindergarten, nursery or afternoon classes. Using a framework of ecological development, it investigates the nested systems in which very young learners operate, the other agents involved in each of these systems and the influence these agents have on children鈥檚 foreign language learning. It explores the ecosystems of the individual learner and their family, educational institutio
Mandan is a Siouan language of North Dakota, near the geographic center of North America. There are no longer any first-language speakers after the last fluent speaker passed away in 2016. This grammar has been built from archival recordings of Mandan speakers from the 1960s through 2010, plus field work by the author undertaken between 2014 and 2016. The data from these various sources allowed for an in-depth description of the key aspects of the grammar of Mandan with special attention to the
This volume explores word-order phenomena across a phylogenetically diverse sample of languages covering a region loosely referred to as the Western Asian Transition Zone, approximately corresponding to western Iran, northern Iraq, eastern Turkey and the Caucasus. The sample includes representatives from four branches of Indo-European (Iranian, Hellenic, Armenian, Indo-Aryan) as well as Turkic, Semitic, Kartvelian, Northwest Caucasian and Northeast Caucasian. Methodologically, we apply a corpus-
Join the COGEL-sponsored Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on March 7th (9a-9p EST)!
Did you know that less than 20% of biographies on Wikipedia are currently dedicated to notable women, and far lower for other minoritized genders? And that number used to be even lower, only 15% just a few years ago. What鈥檚 changed? Dedicated efforts by projects like Women in Red are making a difference, increasing the representation of the notable contributions of women and other minoritized genders. But there is stil

SUMMARY
When learning a foreign language (L2), the desire to sound like a native speaker is nearly universal, yet, achieving it might be really challenging 鈥� if not impossible. In fact, the 鈥渇oreign accent鈥� will likely still be present to some extent. While learners focus on mastering grammar and vocabulary, less emphasis is placed on pronunciation and especially intonation 鈥� a fundamental component of effective communication, with its own grammar fulfilling different functions within a lingu
