Penka Stateva took part in the Bilingualism Matters Symposium 2026 (29.-30.4.2026) where she presented the results of a research study entitled "Heritage grammar and processing in a border-shift context: Evidence from two Slovenian communities in Italy" as well as a poster outlining the activities of the Slovenian branch of the Bilingualism Matters.

Our doctoral student Danil Khristov has successfully defended his doctoral dissertation today! The title of his work is "The processing of feature assignment in the Bulgarian noun phrase", supervised by Penka Stateva. The doctoral committee included asst. prof. Petra Mišmaš (UNG), asst. prof.

Artur Stepanov attended the meeting between the University of Nova Gorica and the Science and Research Centre Koper (ZRS Koper) on 21 April 2026, where concrete areas of future cooperation between the two institutions were discussed. The occasion also provided an opportunity for productive professional discussions with colleagues on linguistics, cognition and possibilities for future collaboration with CKMJ. More information is available at the link.

Happy to report not one but two two recent articles of a CKMJ-led project group reporting results of two sister studies on heritage sentence comprehension and production, that appeared in February in April in Bilingualism: Language and Cognition and Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism, respectively. Both studies address morphosyntactic restructuring processes in Slovene heritage speakers in the Friuli-Venezia-Giulia communities. These are the first comprehensive psycholinguistic studies of these speaker communities and arguably among the first psycholinguistic studies in the border-shift heritage context!
