2nd Call for Papers: There is a growing body of research on the effects of bilingualism in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Across studies, there is now broad consensus that exposure to two (or more) languages does not have detrimental effects on either language development or core autistic traits. Instead, bilingualism can even prove helpful in some domains. At the same time, research in this area faces important challenges, including how to capture the considerable heterogeneit

In the past few decades, and since Kratzer’s seminar work in the later 70s Kratzer (1977, 1981, 1991), the phenomenon of modality has received substantial attention in linguistic theory— especially in formal semantics and the syntax- semantics interface, and recently also in experimental semantics-pragmatics (e.g. Phillips and Knobe (2017); Liu et al. (2021)). Modality generally refers to the expression of a speaker’s reduced commitment towards to the truth of the propositional content (De Haan

Call for Papers: Meeting Description: Tense and Aspect are fundamental categories in the architecture of grammar. Both situate eventualities in time, but they do so in different ways: tense anchors the time of the event deictically to the time of the utterance, yielding present, past, or future distinctions, either directly or through the mediation of a reference time (Comrie 1985, Bybee 1992). Aspect, on the other hand, refers to the internal temporal constituency of the event, encoding d
