Virtually all phonological theorizing references phonological typology in some respect. For example, cross-linguistic tendencies are routinely invoked in support of claims about markedness and the constraint set. At the same time, there remain major divides in the field with respect to evidential and explanatory standards. Researchers often operate under distinct formal assumptions about levels of representation, the nature of phonological alternations, and the relationship between phonetics and
SUMMARY
(xxv, 882 pp.) This paperback is the latest edition of a valuable anthology originally published in 2018; it is the most recent among several such under the same editor/author, and incorporates the insights of those collections. As the book points out, evidentiality is a topic that is fairly newly recognized in general linguistics. It probably is still not taught in any depth to most undergraduates or even grad students; an impressionistic Google Books search of recent introductory li
The research group Formal and Computational Linguistics (ComForT) and the Center for Research in Syntax, Semantics, and Phonology (CRISSP) at KU Leuven have a vacancy for a PhD-position in formal linguistics in the project "What are theme vowels?" (WAT). The WAT-project will investigate the distribution and function of theme vowels in three Indo-European families (Romance, Germanic, and Slavic).
SUMMARY
Morality is an increasingly popular topic in pragmatic and discourse studies, yet there is an ongoing gap in our understanding of how morality is enacted in everyday communicative practice. 鈥淢orality in Discourse鈥� addresses this gap.
This edited collection consists of one introductory chapter, followed by 12 chapters divided thematically into four parts: moralising in interaction; morality and narrative; the politics of morality; and digitally mediated morality. The chapters inves

Background:
We see historical phonology as the branch of linguistics which links phonology to the past in any way. Its key concerns are (i) how and why the phonology of languages changes in diachrony, and (ii) the reconstruction of past synchronic stages of languages鈥� phonologies. These are inextricably linked: we need to understand what the past stages of languages were in order to understand which changes have occurred, and we need to understand which kinds of changes are possible and how t
