The University of Parma's doctoral conference "Grammars of Sexuality: Forms of Saying, Narrating, Performing" (10-11 December 2026) explores sexuality as a culturally constructed "grammar", a system of rules that can be imposed, broken, or reinvented across discourse, literature, and performance. It's organised into three sections: Linguistics, focusing on how language, discourse, and embodied communication construct sexual meaning; Literature, examining how sexuality functions narratively acros

The panel seeks to advance our understanding of the nature of information that is 鈥榯aken for granted鈥� in an utterance. Linguistic phenomena related to such information, most prominently presuppositions and conventional implicatures, received different analyses, e.g. as projective or not-at-issue content. Current debates center around the questions (i) whether a single analysis can capture all characteristics of this heterogenous set of phenomena; (ii) how they connect to information-structural d

The historical relation between African languages and general phonology has been a mutually beneficial one: African languages have contributed to the development of phonology in quite central ways, and developments in phonological theory have in turn improved our understanding of the many fascinating complexities of African phonological systems. This conference brings together 13 specialists of African linguistics and phonology to discuss the many contributions of African languages to the fie

African languages are still underrepresented in linguistic research; as a result there are almost no corpora. One way to quickly and efficiently build a corpus that allows for the investigation of a specific research question is to create one on the basis of storyboards. Storyboards are rudimentary picture stories that speakers can retell. The design of the storyboards can be used to specifically elicit certain linguistic constructions. In this way, natural language data can be obtained that

The Highland East Cushitic (HEC) languages, including Burji, Hadiyya, Kambaata, Sidaama, and Gedeo, are spoken by over twenty million people in southern Ethiopia. Although their historical relatedness has long been recognized, Proto-Highland East Cushitic (PHEC) and Proto-Northern Highland East Cushitic have not previously been reconstructed in a comprehensive and systematic way. This dissertation addresses that gap. Drawing on a comparative database of over 8,500 lexical entries from 23 East

This dissertation works towards an integrative theory of language aptitude, exploring how multiple learner characteristics jointly influence second language learning. Drawing on Snow鈥檚 theory of aptitude complexes, this research conceptualizes language aptitude as a system of interacting components from across cognitive, affective, and conative domains. The first part of this dissertation examines network analysis as a methodological tool. Chapter 2 shows that network analysis can reveal complex

This book examines the rhetorical and linguistic practices in three speeches by Christian orators against the Gentiles, with particular emphasis on how corpus linguistics and computational methods can enhance the analysis of Byzantine rhetorical discourse. While traditional scholarship has largely relied on Aristotelian rhetorical theory and close textual analysis, this work adopts an interdisciplinary approach that integrates classical rhetoric with digital humanities and corpus-based methodolo

This book introduces the tense-aspect-mood (TAM) markers of Kiswahili and reveals how some TAM markers appear in both auxiliary and main verbs of the same auxiliary-main verb phrase or serial predicate construction (SPC), thus contradicting some of the assumptions and restrictions found in traditional and modern studies. Next, the book reveals a peculiarity of negative inflection in relativized auxiliary-main verb phrases or SPCs that contain in-verb relative markers. Firstly, a relativized verb
