Our speaker, Sofie Decock, organizes a MULTIPLEtalkS:
Gender and language in Dutch: state of the art and research desiderata
This month’s MULTIPLEtalkS will give a brief description of the language system in Dutch with regard to (grammatical) gender. It will present a state of the art on research on gender-inclusive language focusing on Dutch. Together, we will formulate some research desiderata for this topic.
Seppe Goddaert as booster and Anne-Sophie Ghyselen as the discussant.
MULTIPLEtalkS is a monthly informal get-together in which a researcher discusses a piece of their own work with other MULTIPLES researchers. During these events we kill multiple birds with one stone: the speaker gets valuable input and feedback on their work, junior and senior researchers get to exchange ideas, we cross the bridge between the two campuses, and we have lunch.
Every MULTIPLEtalkS speaker is joined by a ‘booster’ who helps along and takes notes as well as a discussant who wraps up the discussion.
The format of this MULTIPLEtalkS:
- Welcome + MULTIPLES updates
- Booster announces the speaker
- Speaker discusses a piece of their work (interaction included)
- Wrap-up by the discussant (5 minutes)
- Off into the world with food for thought and action 💡
MULTIPLEtalkS is an event at the heart of the MULTIPLES Research Centre and open to researchers from other research groups.
MULTIPLEtalkS – Where?
MULTIPLEtalkS alternate between the campuses of Mercator and Boekentoren. Ideally, they do not take place on the campus where the speaker is based.
MULTIPLEtalkS – When?
Mostly every third Friday of the month.
