Abstract: We introduce a parafermionic version of the Jaynes Cummings Hamiltonian, by coupling $k$ Fock parafermions (nilpotent of order $F$) to a 1D harmonic oscillator, representing the interaction with a single mode of the electromagnetic field. We argue that for $k=1$ and $Fleq3$ there is no difference between Fock parafermions and quantum spins $s=fracF-12$. We also derive a semiclassical approximation of the canonical partition function of the model by assuming $hbar$ to be small in the regime of large enough total number of excitations $n$, where the dimension of the Hilbert space of the problem becomes constant as a function of $n$. We observe in this case an interesting behaviour of the average of the bosonic number operator showing a single crossover between regimes with different integer values of this observable. These features persist when we generalize the parafermionic Hamiltonian by deforming the bosonic oscillator with a generic function $Phi(x)$; the $q-$deformed bosonic oscillator corresponds to a specific choice of the deformation function $Phi$. In this particular case, we observe at most $k(F-1)$ crossovers in the behavior of the mean bosonic number operator, suggesting a phenomenology of superradiance similar to the $k-$atoms Jaynes Cummings model.
