Summary: This article presents a new approach for text-critical phylogenetics, highlighting multiple Bayesian phylogenetic models and their relevance to textual criticism. Additionally, it demonstrates how TEI XML collations can be encoded and analyzed using BEAST 2 with the teiphy Python package. The proof of concept shows that the results of BEAST 2 analyses of a sample collation align with established findings on the textual tradition of the Epistle to the Ephesians.

Summary: This paper presents a formal characterization of the prosodic properties of Spanish acronyms for the first time. The stress patterns and prosodic size of Spanish acronyms are investigated through an examination of a dataset and the results of a questionnaire and perception test. The study shows that stress in acronyms follows regular stress patterns and that acronyms are limited to three syllables, which is explained by the theory of layered feet. Additionally, an interesting minimality requirement that applies exclusively to acronyms is discussed.

Summary: This paper investigates the information status of iconic contributions in spoken language and proposes a new theoretical concept of at-issueness as a gradient category. Factors affecting the information status of iconic contributions are discussed, and a scale for iconic phenomena based on these factors is proposed. By analyzing at-issueness as a gradient property, a nuanced understanding of the interaction between non-at-issue content and at-issue content is achieved, and a new approach to Common Ground updates is presented.
