Sex in Romance: Perspectives to Gender and Sexuality in Romance
Languages (SIR2025)

Date: 25-Aug-2025 - 27-Aug-2025
Location: Helsinki, Finland
Meeting URL: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/conferences/sir2025

#SiR2025 is a three-day conference organized by the research
project Gender, society, and language use: Evidence from Mexico and
Spain and other researchers interested in language and gender at the
University of Helsinki. The conference brings together scholars
working on different perspectives to gender and sexuality in Romance
languages from different perspectives, including but not limited to
sociolinguistics, morphosyntax, pragmatics, social psychology, and
phonetics.
While the study of language, gender and sexuality has become a central
research topic in linguistics in past decades, the vast majority of
the research has focused on the Anglosphere. In Romance linguistics,
the interplay of language, gender and sexuality has received less
attention. At the same time, there is a growing interest in phenomena
like gender-neutral or inclusive language and the connection between
grammatical and societal gender. The purpose of the conference is to
provide an international discussion forum for scholars interested in
different aspects of gender and sexuality in Romance languages. We
include all theoretical and methodological approaches, including but
not limited to the following:
    sociolinguistics of language, gender and sexuality
    interfaces between morphological and social gender
    pragmatics of gender and/or sexuality
    social psychology of language and gender
    corpus linguistic approaches to studying language and
gender/sexuality
    ethnographic approaches to studying language and gender/sexuality
    construction of gender and sexual identities in discourse
    queer and trans linguistics
The conference will take place at the University of Helsinki on 25–27
August 2025.
The lingua franca of the conference is English, but we welcome
submissions and presentations in Romance languages as well. The
planned length of presentations is 20 minutes + 10 minutes for
questions and comments.

conference, please do not hesitate to contact us at
