Hot off the press: Sörries-Vorberger (2025) on pronoun specifications in German email signatures, reporting on survey data from students and staff at the University of Hamburg.

Lars Sörries-Vorberger@lasovo.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Just published: an article on pronoun specification in email signatures in German, using the University of Hamburg as an example. I examine how and which pronouns are specified and how participants comment on their rejection, non-usage, and usage.

Today: Our member Hanna Bruns (Bonn) is giving an online talk, hosted by the Centre for Anglo-German Cultural Relations (QMUL). Hanna will present recent work on language attitudes towards gender-inclusive language in German. Attendance is free, no registration required. More infos: gfds.org.uk

Today marks #TransDayOfRemembrance - a day dedicated to the memory of those who passed this year in the trans community, especially those targeted by violence and discrimination. Queer and trans linguistic research can shed light onto discursive practices often at the basis of anti-trans violence...

Conference alert: Falco Pfalzgraf @qmul.bsky.social is organizing an online conference on the resistance to gender-inclusive language. The program looks amazing, including a talk by our member Samira Ochs with Aline Siegenthaler. Register until March 23! www.qmul.ac.uk/sllf/linguis...
