Laura Ford a présenté une analyse diachronique de l'utilisation de la langue dans les nécrologies de Winnipeg. En se fondant sur des nécrologies publiées dans le Winnipeg Free Press au cours d'une période de 100 ans (1922–2022), Laura a montré que la façon dont les journalistes de Winnipeg parlent de la mort a changé sous l'effet d'évolutions sociales sous-jacentes. Laura a approfondi ce projet apparemment limité avec beaucoup de perspicacité. Les participants ont été impressionnés par sa capacité à combiner différents sous-domaines et à transmettre avec clarté des informations sur sa méthodologie et ses résultats. La période de questions a attesté qu'elle avait manifestement captivé l'intégralité de

Ça fait quelques mois que je remarque que plusieurs, surtout plus jeunes, ont arrêté d'accorder les anglicismes. Suis-je le seul à avoir remarqué ? Du genre, « je vais stopper » devient « je vais stop » ou « on pourra checker » devient « on pourra check ». Criss que ça me gosse. […] Je me sens vieux à poser cette question-là, pis j'ai juste f*** 28 ans.For a few months now I've been noticing that many people, especially younger ones, have stopped conjugating anglicisms. Am I the only one who's noticed this? Like, "je vais stopper" becomes "je vais stop" or "on pourra checker" becomes "on pourra check". Christ, it gets on my nerves. […] I feel old just asking the question, and I'm only 28, FFS.This article

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/961876
<p></p>
This article is a first attempt to investigate the adaptation of Japanese vowels in Truku, an Austronesian language spoken in Taiwan, a country colonized by Japan for fifty years (1895 ∼ 1945) after the Sino-Japanese War. So far the only data to be documented (Palemeq 2014a, Lee and Hsu 2018) have been recorded with orthographic transcriptions, which do not always reflect the real pronunciation.1 This study is based on data of more than 250 loanwords, with more than 600 vowel tokens, collected during 2020 and 2021.Loanword adaptation is a process that involves inherent competition between two conflicting forces, that of being as faithful to the source word as possible and that of conforming to the phonology of the

L'Association canadienne de linguistique est heureuse de présenter le Prix national d'excellence 2024 à Henry Davis.Le professeur Davis a consacré toute sa carrière universitaire à l'étude des langues et de la linguistique en Colombie-Britannique. Il est à la fois linguiste théoricien et chercheur de terrain, possédant une expertise tout à fait exceptionnelle dans les deux domaines. Il est bien connu pour ses travaux en syntaxe (catégories, configurationnalité, accord, langues à verbe initial) et sur l'interface syntaxesémantique (liage, ellipse, quantification, modalité), mais aussi pour ses travaux sur la sémantique lexicale et la morphologie, ainsi que l'acquisition et l'apprentissage de la syntaxe.

L'Association canadienne de linguistique est heureuse de décerner ex æquo le Prix d'excellence de la recherche en début de carrière 2024 de l'ACL à la Dre Lyn Tieu et au Dr Derek Denis. Tous deux méritent amplement ce prix.Les travaux de Dre Lyn Tieu relient les théories sémantiques/pragmatiques aux méthodes expérimentales. À l'avant-garde de la sémantique/pragmatique expérimentale et développementale, son travail soulève des questions passionnantes sur les origines de notre capacité à tirer des inférences linguistiques, en se concentrant sur des phénomènes sémantiques tels que les implicatures et les présuppositions.

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/961880
<p></p>
Non-word repetition (NWR) tasks utilize non-existing words (non-words) that can be either language-specific (drawn from a given language's morphology and phonemes) or language-unspecific (avoiding any language-specific characteristics such as consonant clusters) (Chiat 2015).1 NWR tasks are used to quantify phonological short-term memory (PSTM), one of the subsystems of working memory in Baddeley and Hitch's (1974) model, thus measuring our innate ability to preserve phonological information in the short-term memory and process it more or less automatically (Archibald 2008). PSTM, in its turn, has been shown to be closely linked to language processing (Deldar et al. 2020).A weak performance in NWR tasks constitutes

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/961881
<p></p>
This article addresses the observation from Jordanian Arabic (JA) that the object of an obligatorily transitive predicate can drop in SVO clauses without the use of an object pronominal element on the verb as long as the referent of the dropped object is already mentioned or identified in the preceding discourse.1 Object drop is, on the other hand, totally prohibited in VSO clauses, even if the referent of the object is already mentioned in the previous discourse. Consider the contrast between SVO clauses in (1) and VSO clauses in (2).(1) (2) This article argues that SVO sentences with an object gap contain an instance of a dropped argument (i.e., an elided object) rather than VP ellipsis. It also provides a

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/961882
<p></p>
Numerous French verbs use the same or homophonous forms for indicative and subjunctive mood (McManus and Mitchell 2015), and many contexts may permit native speaker (NS) variability (Gudmestad 2018). The French subjunctive is typically described as late-acquired, with low use reported for adult first- (L1) and second-language (L2) French users, as well as delayed sensitivity to factors that constrain the mood contrast across production and grammaticality judgment tasks (Bartning and Schlyter 2004; Howard 2008, 2012; Ayoun, 2013; Gudmestad and Edmonds 2015; McManus and Mitchell 2015; see Gudmestad 2018 for an overview).The study of the acquisition of the mood contrast in French thus stands to contribute to our

<p></p>
The last three decades have witnessed intensified interest in the investigation of second-language acquisition from a sociolinguistic perspective, encompassing diverse populations situated in varied learning environments, ranging from study-abroad contexts (e.g., Regan et al. 2009) and second-language immersion programs (e.g., Mougeon et al. 2010) to community-based settings (e.g., Sankoff et al. 1997, Blondeau et al. 2002). Multiple studies stress that attainment of native-like proficiency in a second language (L2) requires the learner to approximate the variable sociolinguistic patterns characteristic of the target language (TL) being acquired, in addition to mastering its relatively categorical features (see
