Books: Digital Gaming in the Language Classroom: Wrobetz (2026) This book examines how single-player role-playing digital games can promote foreign language acquisition and looks at how they can be integrated into the curricula of foreign language classrooms. As the commercialization of digital games continues to expand and accelerate, some research in digital game-based learning has shifted from creating digital games with pedagogical applications to adopting commercial off-the-shelf digital games for pedagogical purposes. Relevant literature has continu

Confs: Workshop at SinFonIJA 19: Deverbal Nominalizations and Participles Deverbal nominalisations and participles are among the most intensively studied representatives of so-called mixed categories. At least since Chomsky (1970), they have played a central role in debates on how syntax, morphology, and semantics interact in word formation. They occupy a theoretical middle ground between verbs and nouns/adjectives: they may preserve argument structure, aspectual interpretation, and event semantics, while simultaneously exhibiting nominal or adjectival morphology and

They occupy a theoretical middle ground between words and affixes, and their placement often reflects complex interactions among syntactic position, prosodic structure, and discourse-related constraints (Franks & King 2000; Bošković 2001, 2008, 2016; Milićević 2023, a.m.o.).

Software: Elisheet: A Google Sheets–Based Tool for Linguistic Elicitation and Audio Data Collection As a linguist engaged extensively in fieldwork and linguistic elicitation (wordlists, paradigms, sentence frames, and more), I began to notice a recurring pattern: most of us prepare our elicitation materials in spreadsheets. That observation led to a simple question: Why not let the spreadsheet become the elicitation sheet?
