Demorphologization and remorphologization
Abstract The negation marker in Hewramî, mé-, originated as a marker of imperfective aspect. A series of regular sound changes setting Hewramî apart from its closely related sisters caused the demorphologization of the original prefix. The subsequent morphologization…

Workshop announcement: 'r-atics 9 (Vienna, Austria; 2-4 June 2027)
Meeting Description:
The Acoustics Research Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences organizes the 'r-atics 9 workshop in Vienna, Austria, on June 2-4 2027. 'r-atics gathers an international network of researchers working on different issues concerning r sounds. It is an international mid-size specific conference that enhances mutual cooperation in a friendly environment on phonetic, phonological, sociolinguistic and diachronic aspects of rhotics.
We invite contributions on any theme concerning rhotic sounds, including but not limited to:
- The diversity of /r/ realizations in the world’s languages
- The production and perception of rhotics in a language or in a language family
- The socio-phonetic aspects of /r/ realizations
- The phonological status of /r/ sounds
- Diachronic aspects of /r/ sounds
- The acquisition of rhotics in L1 and L2
- Phenomena of /r/ sandhi
Information about the workshop and abstract submission can be found and will be updated on the website r-atics9.org<https://www.oeaw.ac.at/isf/aktuelles/veranstaltungen/r-atics9/>
The prospective timeline is
Start of abstract submission: 1 December 2026.

Mande and Bantu in the Niger-Congo context
https://iling-ran.ru/web/ru/publications/journals/languageinafrica/7-1
https://iling-ran.ru/web/ru/publications/journals/languageinafrica/7-1
That Mande family belongs to the Niger-Congo macro-family was first proposed by Joseph Greenberg in the middle of the 20th century. Over the last two decades this affiliation has regularly been questioned, the main argument for skepticism being the well-known fact there is no trace of any noun class in Mande. Our study proves that these doubts are groundless as far as the lexicon is concerned. If we establish cognacy between specific Mande and Bantu roots, these roots can be regarded as candidates for membership in the Niger-Congo common lexical stock. We thus provide materials for a Proto-Niger-Congo comparative etymological dictionary: 207 common roots and their probable reflexes in contemporary languages and lower level proto-languages are proposed for future discussion by specialists.
