The COVID-19 pandemic touched every corner of the globe, even impacting the sphere of linguistics in terms of communication, lexis, and how linguists conduct their research. However, Rusyn, a minority language in Ukraine’s Transcarpathian region, took advantage of this period in a new attempt at revitalization. Rusyn is spoken in several European countries and has the privilege of being recognized and protected in most of them. Ukraine does not, however, consider Rusyn to be a language, and, therefore, does not protect it. There have been several movements for recognition and autonomy in the past, but all have been unsuccessful. The pandemic gave this small community of speakers a new chance to elevate their work towards boosting the language’s vitality and status through digital platforms such as YouTube and collective writing projects. This paper looks at the before-and-after of the pandemic in relation to Rusyn in Transcarpathia, focusing on the shift in digital approaches to protecting and promoting the language. It concludes that, in fact, a shift has occurred in terms of utilizing digital media in order to promote the language.

This paper offers a new approach to the alternate use of Spanish hacerse ‘to make (reflexive)’ and volverse ‘to (re)turn (reflexive)’ to express a change of state. Hacerse and volverse belong to the core of the family of change-of-state verbs in Spanish and constitute a prime example of alternating forms. The aim is to evaluate the importance of the notion of construal as an explanation to alternation. We do this by testing one of the major explanations regarding the difference between hacerse and volverse, namely that of Delbecque and van Gorp (Delbecque, Nicole & Lise van Gorp. 2012. Hacerse y volverse como nexos pseudo-copulativos. Bulletin hispanique 114(1). 277–306, Delbecque, Nicole & Lise van Gorp. 2015. The pseudo-copular use of the Spanish verbs hacerse and volverse: Two types of change. Cognitextes 13), who suggest that the distinction is one of construal. A sentence completion task involving priming and non-priming visual stimuli is used to investigate to what extent the distinct conceptual images associated with hacerse and volverse affect the choice of verb in given contexts. The results show little evidence of the importance of construal for the choice of verb. Instead, established V + ADJ combinations seem to have a greater impact on choosing either verb. This calls into question the applicability of construal as an explanation to alternation, especially from the perspective of choice between alternating forms.
本文为交替使用西班牙语 hacerse "使（反身）"和 volverse"（再）转（反身）"来表达状态变化提供了一种新方法。Hacerse 和 volverse 属于西班牙语状态变化动词家族的核心，是交替形式的典型例子。我们的目的是评估构式概念作为交替解释的重要性。为此，我们对 Delbecque 和 van Gorp（Delbecque, Nicole & Lise van Gorp.Hacerse y volverse como nexos pseudo-copulativos.Bulletin hispanique 114(1).277-306, Delbecque, Nicole & Lise van Gorp.西班牙动词 "hacerse "和 "volverse "的伪通俗用法：两种变化。Cognitextes 13），他们认为区别在于构词法。本研究使用了一个涉及引物和非引物视觉刺激的句子完成任务，以研究与 hacerse 和 volverse 相关的不同概念图像在多大程度上影响了特定语境中的动词选择。结果显示，几乎没有证据表明构式对动词选择的重要性。相反，既定的 V + ADJ 组合似乎对动词选择的影响更大。这让人怀疑构式是否适用于解释交替现象，尤其是从交替形式之间选择的角度来看。

This paper proposes the principle of weakest epenthesis, whereby the quality of the epenthetic vowel is that of the weakest lexical vowel of the language, and weakness is defined phonologically, not phonetically. This principle is first shown to motivate the emergence of [e] as the epenthetic vowel of Modern Hebrew. It is then corroborated by a crosslinguistic survey of 100 languages. Finally, the Modern Hebrew facts are used to illustrate the formalization of this principle using gradient symbolic representations.

This paper proposes two major modifications to previous analyses of the resultative V-de construction in Mandarin Chinese. First, while -de is argued to be prepositional in nature, it is shown at the same time that -de is different from other regular prepositions in that the former, but not the latter, undergoes head movement in a resultative. To reconcile these apparently conflicting observations, we propose to treat -de as the exponent of a prepositional categorizer. Second, we argue that a small clause analysis of the resultative V-de construction is not only conceptually motivated by the Direct Object Restriction but also empirically supported by the fact that it can participate in the bǎ alternation, as with constructions that are canonically assumed to contain a small clause.

This study employs a quantitative analytical descriptive approach to explore the attitudes of two Jordanian communities toward code-switching (CS). The first community lives in the United States (a migrant community), while the second community resides in Jordan (a native community). Data were collected using an online questionnaire and the attitudes of these two communities were compared with respect to their sense of identity, religion, communication efficiency, and audience design. The study also examines the influence of self-perceived language proficiency, the direction of CS, and gender on the positivity or negativity of individuals’ attitudes toward CS. The study pays particular attention to the use of CS as a polite or impolite behavior in different contexts. The findings of this study indicate that both groups have relatively similar attitudes toward CS in terms of communication efficiency, topic, audience design, and politeness. However, the migrant community has an overall more positive attitude toward CS in terms of religion and sense of identity, particularly when language proficiency is taken into account.

We present Bed Word, a tool leveraging industrial automatic speech recognition (ASR) to transcribe sociophonetic data. While we find lower accuracy for minoritized English varieties, the resulting vowel measurements are overall very close to those derived from human-corrected gold data, so fully automated transcription may be suitable for some research purposes. For purposes requiring greater accuracy, we present a pipeline for human post-editing of automatically generated drafts, which we show is far faster than transcribing from scratch. Thus, we offer two ways to leverage ASR in sociolinguistic research: full automation and human post-editing. Augmenting the DARLA tool developed by Reddy and Stanford (2015b. Toward completely automated vowel extraction: Introducing DARLA. Linguistics Vanguard 1(1). 15–28), we hope that this resource can help speed up transcription for sociophonetic research.
我们介绍了利用工业自动语音识别（ASR）转录社会语音数据的工具 Bed Word。虽然我们发现少量英语变体的准确率较低，但由此产生的元音测量结果总体上非常接近于从人工校正的黄金数据中得出的结果，因此全自动转录可能适合某些研究目的。对于要求更高精度的目的，我们提出了一种对自动生成的草稿进行人工后期编辑的方法，我们证明这种方法比从头开始转录要快得多。因此，我们提供了两种在社会语言学研究中利用 ASR 的方法：完全自动化和人工后期编辑。增强 Reddy 和 Stanford 开发的 DARLA 工具（2015b.实现完全自动化的元音提取：介绍 DARLA。Linguistics Vanguard 1(1).15-28），我们希望这一资源能够帮助加快社会语音学研究的转录速度。

This article explores for the first time the relationship between occupational complexity (operationalized using the complexity measures indicated in the Dictionary of occupational titles) and adult migrants’ second language (L2) sociolinguistic repertoires in the Austro-Bavarian naturalistic context. We analyze the data of 36 adult migrant L2 German speakers who participated in a virtual reality experiment involving interactions with a dialect-speaking and standard German-speaking interlocutor, the goal being to capture participants’ interpersonal varietal behavior, that is, their addressee-relational, differential use of standard German, Austro-Bavarian dialect, and mixture varieties. Bayesian multinomial mixed-effects models reveal that participants with occupations requiring more handling and physical precision work are predicted to employ dialect varieties more often, but exclusively in interaction with the standard German-speaking interlocutor. A person-centered visual-quantitative analysis additionally facilitates insights concerning which migrants deviate most notably from group-level patterns, and how these deviations may relate to the complexity of their primary occupation. More generally, this study paves new ground with respect to how we can operationally define and capture the complexity of occupational status, and moreover sets out a new direction for research questions investigating how career-related differences impact on (L2) language variation and use.

Whilst linguistic research on speakers of minority genders has increased in the past decade, much less is known about how they can best be included in broader (socio)linguistic research. The current paper compares the way a range of five different gender measures for survey research are filled out and evaluated by a sample of LGBTQ+ people (N = 682). It finds that providing a larger range of answering options allows researchers to gain a better view of the gender diversity in their sample, whilst preventing refusals and loss of participants. The gender question that was least likely to be refused and was rated the most accurate, most inclusive, and clearest was a six-option multiple-choice question which included a “prefer not to say” and a write-in option. This question reconciles two competing interests in the treatment of queer data: it explicitly recognizes and names minority genders and simultaneously carves out space for participants to refuse categorization or write out gender identities beyond those preset by the researcher.

The International Distributed Little Red Hen Lab, usually called “Red Hen Lab” or just “Red Hen”, is dedicated to research into multimodal communication. In this article, we introduce the Red Hen Audio Tagger (RHAT), a novel, publicly available open source platform developed by Red Hen Lab. RHAT employs deep learning models to tag audio elements frame by frame, generating metadata tags that can be utilized in various data formats for analysis. RHAT seamlessly integrates with widely used linguistic research tools like ELAN: the researcher can use RHAT to tag audio content automatically and display those tags alongside other ELAN annotation tiers. RHAT additionally complements existing Red Hen pipelines devoted to natural language processing, speech-to-text processing, body pose analysis, optical character recognition, named entity recognition, computer vision, semantic frame recognition, and so on. These cooperating Red Hen pipelines are research tools to advance the science of multimodal communication.

This opinion paper considers the role of metalinguistic awareness as a cognitive factor in contact-induced change (CIC). Although research in neighboring fields – for example, language pedagogy and second and third language acquisition – has shown that metalinguistic awareness is a non-structural factor, but does interact with cross-linguistic influences, metalinguistic awareness and its connection to CIC have largely remained undiscussed in contact linguistics. The goal of this contribution is threefold: (i) to put metalinguistic awareness on the agenda in language contact research; (ii) to relate metalinguistic awareness and CIC; and (iii) to showcase how CIC might be linked to different language experiences. To narrow the structural scope, I examine changes in passive constructions and discuss what role metalinguistic awareness might have played in the different developments.
