Books: Mood Alternations: Montero Estebaranz (2026) This book investigates Polarity Mood (PM) in Peninsular Spanish and how the phenomenon has evolved diachronically. In particular, it explores from a theoretical and empirical perspective the interaction of PM with five other linguistic phenomena: (i) the verb class of the matrix predicate, (ii) the presence of a first-person subject; (iii) the type of matrix clause, (iv) information structure, and (v) the presence of Negative Polarity Items. Drawing inspiration from the competing grammars framew

Books: Identity Formation, Language and Migration Dynamics: Gholami and Mehlem (eds.) (2026) The volume examines migration from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to the German diaspora, offering a multifaceted perspective that combines historical and contemporary insights. It moves beyond viewing migration as a momentary event, instead situating it within a broader narrative that considers the impact of origin countries. By studying communities such as Georgians, Jews, Aramaic speakers, Kurds, Afghans and Berbers, the book explores how linguistic, social, and cultural facto

Books: The Austronesian Languages of Eastern Indonesia and Timor-Leste: Grimes and Edwards (2026) For 150 years there has been a question over how the Austronesian languages of eastern Indonesia and Timor-Leste fit into the Austronesian world. The area is severely under-documented. There has been no consensus on the classification of these languages, and scholars admit to being perplexed. This is the first systematic attempt at subgrouping the whole region based on historical phonology, supplemented by morphosyntax and the lexicon. Insights from archaeology, DNA studies, and awareness of lon

Books: I Always Migrated by Reindeer: Pakendorf (2026) Even is an endangered Northern Tungusic language spoken in numerous small settlements by formerly completely nomadic hunters and reindeer herders dispersed over northeastern Siberia, from the Lena-Yana watershed in the west to the Sea of Okhotsk and Kamchatka in the east. This geographical spread has led to considerable dialectal fragmentation, with substantial differences between the peripheral dialects, not least due to differential contact influence. This text collection contains a selecti

(2026) The three-volume work Negation in the world's languages constitutes a major step forward in the comparative study of negation. It includes 43 chapters describing the negation system of one language each, following a typologically and functionally oriented questionnaire. The questionnaire is a comparative tool organized according to functional subdomains of negation. It highlights aspects of negation that have been found salient in typological research, such as standard negation, negation in non-
