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.
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?

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.
