This conference will focus on one of the central topics in linguistics: the verbal domain. Building on a substantial body of work in this area (Vendler, Dowty, Levin, Pustejovsky, Jackendoff, Pottier, among others), it aims both to take stock of existing research and to explore new directions for analysis.

We are glad to announce that Innovations in Linguistics Education, a journal devoted to teaching linguistics in higher education, has been re-launched and is officially open to new submissions as of January 2026. The first five volumes of the journal were published by editor Daniel Dinnsen at the Indiana University Linguistics Club from 1979 to 1990 and re-issued in 2017 by editor Ann Bunger. Volumes 6 onwards will be published on the University of Edinburgh's open access online platform, Edinbu
After the success of our initial two workshops focused on meaning and form, we are excited to launch a third POQAL meeting, this time without subject limitations. We hope to welcome your research on polar(-like) questions, especially in lesser studied languages and dimensions of form and meaning. As before, the aim is to discuss the phenomenon across subdisciplines and we will do everything we can to curate a program to facilitate the inclusion of a diversity of approaches.

Over the past years, interactions between humans and artificial interlocutors have increasingly become part of everyday life. AIs such as ChatGPT, Woebot, and Replika are perceived not merely as tools, but as helpers, confidants, or even romantic partners. These encounters compel us to rethink the linguistic, social, and epistemic foundations of concepts such as 鈥�(social) interaction,鈥� and furthermore to reconsider the boundaries of subjectivity and identity.

The conference aims to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers interested in non-derivational approaches to grammar, where grammar is seen as the interaction of (perhaps violable) constraints from multiple levels o
