The<BR>present workshop aims at taking stock of current developments in the field. <BR><SPAN> </SPAN><BR>Call for Papers<BR><SPAN> </SPAN><BR>The workshop on gender aims at addressing questions including, but not<BR>restricted to, the following:<BR><SPAN> </SPAN><BR>- Patterns of change in gender systems: can we find any regularity in changes<BR>that gender systems can undergo? And to what extent can we derive answers from<BR>such patterns with regard to more fundamental questions such as the quest for<BR>triggers in gender change (deflection, language contact), the function of<BR>grammatical gender, or the structure of gender systems?<BR><SPAN> </SPAN><BR>- Loss or renewal of grammatical gender: in Indo-European languages, most<BR>ongoing changes concern the loss of aspects of the gender system, such as the<BR>decrease of the number of genders or the loss of gender agreement from parts of<BR>the grammar (although there are exceptions, such as the emergence of a<BR>'neo-neuter' in varieties of Italian (Haase 2000). Are there language families<BR>where the reverse is observed, i.e. frequent changes towards more genders or<BR>towards more gender agreement? In addition, to what extent do these innovations<BR>match alleged universal pathways such as the one proposed by Greenberg (1978).<BR><SPAN> </SPAN><BR>- The global distribution of grammatical gender: it appears that gender systems<BR>are quite widespread in the world, but not universal (cf. the WALS). Are there<BR>any linguistic properties that facilitate or inhibit the presence of grammatical<BR>gender? And how can such correlations be explained?<BR><SPAN> </SPAN><BR>- Grammatical gender and theories of language change: recent data, e.g. from<BR>Dutch, have shown substantial differences in the way grammatical gender is<BR>acquired in L1 and L2. Hence data on gender change can be shed some light over<BR>the ongoing debate on the role of L1 vs. L2 speakers in language change.<BR><SPAN> </SPAN><BR>Conveners: <BR>Gunther De Vogelaer (Flemish Research Foundation / <st1>Ghent</st1>)<BR>Mark Janse (<st1>Ghent</st1>)<BR><SPAN> </SPAN><BR>Keynote Speakers:<BR>Alexandra Aikhenvald (La Trobe)<BR>Brian Joseph (<st1>Ohio</st1> <st1>State</st1>)<BR>Peter Siemund (<st1>Hamburg</st1>)<BR><SPAN> </SPAN><BR>Abstracts: <BR>The workshop is part of the ICHL-19 conference, which takes place 10-15 August<BR>2009, at the Radboud University Nijmegen (the <st1><st1>Netherlands</st1></st1>).
