Now, I know this may sound silly, but I'd like to ask you - a group of professionals - about the pronunciation of the acronym "GIF", it stands for Graphics Interchange Format. And while the answer may seem obvious, it clearly isn't amongst others. Like how the word "Generally" is pronounced with a sort of harsh G, like J, many (including my friends) think it is pronounced as "JIF". So, I've decided to ask this very absurd question to a group of dedicated professionals, and as of right now,

This thesis examines how Amazigh (Berber) languages are planned in Morocco—the largest Amazigh-speaking country by population—and investigates the considerations underlying these measures through the ideologies of the Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture (IRCAM). It traces the historical development of the Amazigh cultural movement from its Kabylian origins in the colonial period to its Moroccan expression, showing how language planning—through the creation of the Neo-Tifinagh script and neolog

This dissertation investigates how bilingual speakers navigate lexico-syntactic features, including grammatical gender, classifier systems, and the linear order of adjectives and nouns, across Spanish and Chinese in both unilingual and bilingual contexts. The central focus is on how early Spanish–Chinese bilinguals, particularly those residing in Barcelona, Spain, process and produce grammatical gender in Spanish and classifiers in Mandarin Chinese. It also examines how these bilinguals resolve

Languages employ different nominal classification systems to categorise nouns. In German, each noun is assigned a grammatical gender, while in Mandarin Chinese, nouns are paired with classifiers that align with semantic features. Grammatical gender and classifiers are lexico-syntactic features that are assumed to be automatically activated during speech production. Although grammatical gender has been widely studied, research on classifiers remains scarce, and it is unclear how such features are

This thesis investigates how native and second language (L2) speakers establish temporal relations in Spanish, integrating formal linguistic theory with experimental evidence. Part I examines temporal interpretation in complex (two-clause) sentences such as Mary said that John was sick. In this so-called ‘past-under-past’ construction, John’s illness may be understood as simultaneous with or anterior to Mary’s report. Competing accounts have attributed the availability (or lack thereof) of these

Pronominal systems represent one of the most fertile testing grounds for understanding grammar as a symbolic system adapted to a stochastic cognitive environment. Pronouns are minimal in descriptive content but maximal in context dependency: they enable reference-tracking without lexical repetition, interact closely with information structure, and frequently give rise to mismatches between form and meaning (Onea et al. 2023). The 2026 edition of the Vienna Workshops on Portuguese Linguistics,
