Romance linguists are by definition not only aligned with their theoretical paradigm (e.g. usage-based sociolinguists to generative grammarians), but rather there is a sense of a larger community to which all Romance linguists belong by virtue of the languages studied.
Confs: Grammatical Indeterminacy in Empirical Research (Workshop)
In our workshop, we aim to bridge the gap between grammatical theories and empirical research, addressing the need for exploring how theoretical grammar can be used to systematically classify and investigate indeterminacy. The following research questions will be discussed in our workshop:
- Which phenomena of indeterminacy (ambiguity, vagueness and polysemy) can be found in grammar?
- On which linguistic levels (word types, sentence structure, morphological structures) are they located?

Confs: 2nd International Conference on Cultural Diversity
Description:
Diversity has always been a defining characteristic of human societies. Historically, ‘Man’ has been inclined towards ‘difference’, be it racial, ethnic, or religious. This has resulted in a constant enriching cultural move (Harari, 2011; Graeber and Wengrow, 2021). In today’s world, diversity has become endemic in human life. Theoreticians like Derrida, Habermas, Geertz and others have broadened this concern to include political, economic, and social dimensions.

Books: Translating Human Inner Life In and Between the Arts: Gamrat (ed.) (2025)
The book examines how so-called human inner life – feelings, emotions, sentiments and self-reflection – permeates different forms of art.
The methodological perspective is multidimensional covering translation studies and semiotics studies, including semiotics of passion, semiotics of culture, existential semiotics and biosemiotics, as well as different arts' fields – music, literature, film, visual arts, multimedia and video games. The book combines these approaches and tools for each field
Books: The Bloomsbury Handbook of Saussure: Joseph (ed.) (2025)
For linguistics, Ferdinand de Saussure is the defining figure of its modern period. For semiotics too he is the founding figure within Europe, alongside Peirce in America. Yet Saussure's influence reaches far beyond linguistics and semiotics, through the structuralism which his teaching inspired in the decades following his death, and even the post-structuralism which followed it. With chapters written by leading scholars from across the world, this detailed and comprehensive volume charts the s

It brings together nuanced, individual, self-reflexive case studies and juxtaposes them in order to provoke discussion on the role of contemporary researchers in the discipline of TS. As well as reflecting on the historical and geographical dimensions of the situatedness of TS, the book builds on existing reflections on the local, political and linguistic positions of TS and exam
