The advertised postdoc is part of the Learning domain in C-LaBL. This domain studies the interplay of multilingualism and learning within individuals, exploring how linguistic distance between languages interacts with language exposure and experience, with a clear focus on educational aspects such as literacy and academic achievement. To this end, we will undertake a series of controlled interventions and carefully planned experiments tapping into various aspects of linguistic competence. We wil
The advertised postdoctoral fellow position will conduct work within the Brain domain of C-LaBL.
The Brain domain examines the degree to which relative language distance (RLD) between the languages in a multilingual mind impacts on neurocognitive outcomes in a multitude of aspects including (i) how bi-/multilinguals learn new languages, (ii) how these languages interact, (iii) how bi-/multilinguals control their language system, and ultimately, (iv) how the mind (cognition) and brain (structure
The advertised postdoc is part of the Language domain in C-LaBL. This domain studies numerous language/dialect combinations in a concerted effort to probe the mental mechanisms of interacting languages/varieties. A core goal is to establish what measures of linguistic similarities, differences, and distance between varieties are cognitively relevant for crosslinguistic influence (CLI). Our approach is empirically driven: We systematically investigate the presence and extent of CLI in multilingua

Each chapter presents
This handbook provides a detailed account of the phenomenon of vowel harmony, a pattern according to which all vowels within a word must agree for some phonological property or properties. Vowel harmony has been central in the development of phonological theories thanks to its cluster of remarkable properties, notably its typically 'unbounded' character and its non-locality, and because it forms part of the phonology of most world languages. The five parts of this volume cover all aspects of vow
Morality is pervasive, touching all aspects of social life. The contributors to this volume provide an introduction to research on how morality is socially constructed in and through discourse, and the implications of this for the empirical analysis and theorization of morality. The volume addresses both how morality gets done through everyday practices, as well as the practical concerns that discussions of morality inevitably entail. It does so by delving into how morality is socially construct

Many physical theories suggest that time does not pass, yet temporality deeply permeates our experience.

In Temporal Experience, Torrengo considers the core facts of temporal experience and their interconnections, ultimately defending the atomist dynamic model of temporal experience.
The book critically examines prevalent theories of experience
