We invite colleagues interested in participating in the panel “Gendered Language Practices: Between Convergence and Polarization” to send an expression of interest, together with a provisional title and, if possible, an abstract, to Renata Enghels (renata.enghels@ugent.be) and Marlies Jansegers (marlies.jansegers@ugent.be) by 30 September 2026.
Participants will then be asked to submit their abstract through the official IPrA 2027 submission platform by 15 October 2026

In research on evidentiality, the initial focus on languages that grammatically encode information source (Aikhenvald 2004, 2018, 2021) has subsequently widened. Studies analysing how evidential meaning is conveyed through the interaction of pragmatics, semantics and grammar have become increasingly abundant (Squartini 2001, 2008, 2018; Cornillie 2007; Albelda 2015; Cabedo and Figueras 2018), among which Romance languages, especially French (Dendale 2022 and references therein), have begun to ga

Wie werden Geschlechter in der digitalen Werbung inszeniert? Diese Studie analysiert Social-Media-Kosmetikwerbung in Deutschland und China und zeigt, welche Geschlechterbilder über Bild, Sprache und Emojis vermittelt werden und wie diese drei Zeichensysteme zusammenwirken.
Basierend auf über 600 Werbeanzeigen von Nivea und Nivea Men verdeutlicht die Studie die gezielten geschlechtsspezifischen Strategien in der neuen Werbeform - von K?rperinszenierungen über Wortwahl bis hin zum Emoji-Einsatz.
Diese Studie untersucht die von der Linguistik bisher wenig beachtete Kommunikation von Hochschulen in sozialen Medien. Anhand eines Korpus von Postings deutscher Hochschulen auf Facebook und Twitter (jetzt X) im Zeitraum von 2019 bis 2020 wird analysiert, wie mittels der Textsorte Hochschulposting eine Organisationsidentit?t konstruiert wird. Dabei werden auch die Kommentare der User:innen einbezogen, wobei vor allem an der Kritik von Hochschulmitgliedern die organisatorischen Probleme nachgeze
Dieses Standardwerk der deutschen Sprachgeschichte stellt die wichtigsten historischen Umbrüche der deutschen Sprache bis in die heutige Zeit dar und leistet deren Begründung, theoretische Fundierung und typologische Einordnung. So hat sich das Deutsche von einer Silben- zu einer ausgepr?gten Wortsprache entwickelt, was sich z.B. in Phonologie, Orthographie und Morphologie niederschl?gt. In der Syntax wird auf das Klammerprinzip abgehoben. Diesem übergreifenden und einigen weiteren Prinzipien ge
The focus on communication in TBLT often comes at the expense of form. This book enhances the task-based approach by connecting it to insights from (cognitive) grammar, which sees grammar as meaningful. It shows how grammar teaching can be integrated into a communicative lesson in a non-explicit way. Learners are involved in situations that they may also encounter outside their classrooms and are given communicative tasks they are to work on and solve. What teachers need to invest for preparing
The book provides a detailed description of the grammar of Teotitlán del Valle Zapotec, an endangered Mesoamerican language spoken in Oaxaca, Mexico. It also contains rich vocabulary and discussions on typologically interesting phenomena like the encoding of agents by stem alternation and complex interactions between tone and phonation, as well as topics in semantics such as the expression of location and the relevance of the posture of entities in existential predication.
This book prepares educators for the multilingual classroom, exploring the role of languages in learning across home, school and community contexts.
With up-to-date research and examples from varied K-12 educational and community settings, it offers accessible introductions to key linguistic concepts while centering social and societal considerations throughout. Practical classroom applications are provided, with discussion questions and online resources for further exploration of topics.
This book offers an analysis of the Japanese DP in line with the cartographic research program. It addresses theoretical linguists interested in nominal modification as well as scholars in the field of Japanese studies. The main results concern the identification of three domains, a DP-external domain, a domain for indirect modifiers and a domain for direct modifiers, with specific discussion on the latter two, and an account for the internal structure of nominal modifiers. On the one hand, this
Language landscapes is a practical map of English for TESL educators, built around form–meaning pairings and the needs of real classrooms. Adopting a CGEL-informed framework, it stabilizes the category – function distinction (e.g., determinatives vs determiner function), pares back overloaded labels (especially in the adverb/preposition space), and introduces syntax trees as a teacher’s analytic lens rather than a student exercise. Early chapters address standards and normativity alongside a usa
Much of human communication occurs while people are moving, exerting themselves, or otherwise not at rest, yet speech production in such contexts has received little systematic attention. Previous studies have typically addressed respiration, phonation, or articulation separately, making it difficult to characterize changes in speech production as a whole. This book presents a multi-level investigation of speech during controlled physical activity. Combining respiratory data, acoustic analysis,
?í bik'ehgo kééhwiit'??. 'In accord with that, we live.' So speaks a medicine man after recounting how the four sacred mountains were set in place to anchor the world of the Diné. To live in accord with something is to know where you stand, even when the ground shifts. And the ground shifted constantly across the late 19th and early 20th centuries: at Round Rock where armed men faced down U.S. cavalry; in the canyons where boys fled from bears; in the corrals from which sheep were driven away by
