Funding is never individual. Funds may be allocated to a project, but that project is seen as emanating from an institution. This means that valorising is not simply individual research, but a contribution to the research unit and the institution as a whole. You are part of a system and you are contributing to a system in the same way that the system gives you the means to carry out research. The two workshops should be seen as a whole as communication strategies are as essential to obtaining funding as the quality of the proposal and its management.
This is not about fitting in, it is about how your project does fit in to an overall picture of research output. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be seen as top down, but the aim of this workshop is to show how they can be used bottom up to valorise the research output of a project and the entire unit. This communication strategy thereby valorises both the project and the unit in terms of the institution, financing agencies and the wider public.
In order to get funded, a project must show that it fulfils the requirements of the funder, not only in completing the relevant sections, but in understanding the entire funding framework into which a project must fit. This increasingly means taking intoaccount societal impact and, consequently, SDGs. This workshop is designed to help you present clear objectives in a structured project.Both workshops will have a hands-on element and require active participation. The workshops will be in English, but the hands-on part will allow to speak freely in Portuguese.

With advances in understanding grammatical architecture and developing articulated models of language structure, linguists now recognize that a single surface phenomenon may have different underlying representations, in other words, where multiple rules compete for the same structure. This insight supports the concept of multiple grammars (MGs) within linguistic populations. MGs refer to situations where the same linguistic string can be compatible with different structural analyses, rather than referring to speakers’ entire grammatical systems. MGs occur at various levels, including scopally ambiguous sentences like "A soccer player was holding every ball," which allows both surface-scope and inverse-scope readings, and phrase-level variations such as British English "the committee," which can take either singular or plural agreement depending on its underlying structure. While researchers have previously noted instances of MGs (especially in the work by Tom Roeper and colleagues), their systematic distribution, typology, and theoretical implications remain largely unexplored—a gap this presentation aims to address. We propose a three way typology of MGs: (i) Shared MGs, where all speakers access the same multiple analyses; (ii) Competing MGs, with different speakers accessing different analyses, and partial MGs, where some speakers have multiple analyses, others only one. Investigating MGs requires rigorous experimental approaches, particularly when dealing with competing grammars (where different community members access different analyses) or partial grammars (where some speakers have multiple analyses while others access only one variant). Evidence for MGs must demonstrate consistent individual behavior across tasks, replicable patterns across studies, and clear speaker groupings. While shared grammars (where all speakers access the same multiple analyses) are relatively straightforward to establish, claims about competing or partial grammars demand careful experimental validation using multiple tasks and consistency checks. A crucial methodological concern involves distinguishing between genuine grammatical variation and processing or memory limitations. When some speakers access multiple interpretations while others access only one, researchers must carefully determine whether this reflects true grammatical differences or simply processing complexity. Addressing this question might involve comparing performance across online versus offline tasks, examining performance under time pressure, and using independent measures of working memory or processing under cognitive load. The framework of MGs is particularly relevant for bilingual research because bilingual speakers often show variation in their linguistic judgments that could reflect competing or partial grammars. For instance, heritage speakers or second language learners might access different structural analyses than monolingual speakers, or different bilingual individuals might have acquired different grammatical systems for the same constructions. These findings carry a number of broader implications. They contribute to the expanding research on MGs in linguistic populations and generate new questions about the relationship between multiple grammars in baseline and heritage language systems. The research aims to develop predictive models for understanding which grammatical options bilingual speakers are likely to select within multiple grammar frameworks.

Workshop

The world's linguistic landscape is rapidly evolving, with a concerning trend of language endangerment, marginalization, and loss. Linguists estimate that between 50% and 90% of the approximately 7,000 languages currently spoken may be severely endangered or entirely lost by the end of this century.
This alarming acceleration of language death is largely attributed to cultural, political, and economic marginalization, as well as the rise of globalization, global imperialism, and forced migration due to conflict, war, and the impacts of climate change.
The disappearance of a language represents the loss of a unique cultural and intellectual heritage, encompassing traditional knowledge, historical perspectives, and modes of expression. In addition to the ethical and cultural implications, language endangerment has significant consequences for our understanding of human cognition and linguistic diversity, as languages are the most powerful expressions of a people, their culture, and traditions. Each language encodes a unique system of knowledge, categorization, and expression, and its loss diminishes the scope of human thought and creativity.
This two-day digital workshop brings together a highly diverse group of international experts dedicated to the documentation and study of endangered and minoritized languages worldwide. We aim to foster a dynamic forum in Portugal and beyond, exchanging ideas and discussing the most critical challenges and innovative practices in the areas of linguistics dedicated to understanding and supporting global linguistic diversity.
