Gender in Grammar. Theory, History, and Policy

This workshop aims at exploring the concept of grammatical gender across its historical, theoretical, and social dimensions. While gender inclusivity in public language is a highly relevant issue today in many languages and countries, the debate often lacks an in-depth theoretical analysis of how gender systems function, both generally and within specific Indo-European and non-Indo-European languages. This analysis should be based on some abstract and formal principles, free from political or ideological bias. The primary goal of the conference is to discuss the possibility of establishing such principles.
