<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Disentangling literacy effects on grammatical structures<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB">Convenors: Caterina Mauri, Andrea Sansò, Silvia Ballarè, Ludovica Pannitto<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB">As Linell (2005) argued, modern linguistics is deeply affected by a written language bias, a systematic tendency to generalize properties of written language as if they were neutral or universal
features of language per se. This bias impacts grammatical theory, obscuring or downplaying features of spoken language—such as fragmentation, hesitations, repetitions, on-line syntax, and interactional structures—which are less likely to be captured in grammatical
descriptions. Similarly, foundational work by Chafe and Mithun (Chafe & Tannen 1987; Mithun 1988) has highlighted key structural and functional differences between spoken and written discourse, noting that grammar itself may develop differently under the pressures
of face-to-face communication versus planned, written production, and that specific grammatical structures such as conjunctions are often borrowed once a language with no literary tradition comes into contact with one with literary tradition.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB">While much is known about how other broad-scale factors such as speaker populations shape languages (e.g., Nichols 1992; Trudgill 2011; Sinnemäki & Di Garbo 2018), and despite widespread awareness
of the written language bias, typological research still struggles to adequately model
<b>how literacy shapes grammar</b>. This is partly because systematic information on literacy is available for only a minority of the world’s languages, and because phenomena underrepresented in written corpora or standard descriptions raise significant methodological
challenges. More fundamentally, however, the main difficulty lies in disentangling the effects of literacy from other co-occurring factors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB">This workshop aims to advance the empirical and theoretical study of literacy’s impact on grammar by bringing together research that critically examines the written language bias and proposes
new data, methods, or frameworks for including less-documented spoken features into typological comparison and addressing literacy from a cross-linguistic perspective.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
