From wvdbussc at vub.ac.be Wed Apr 4 06:44:44 2007 From: wvdbussc at vub.ac.be (Wim Vandenbussche) Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2007 08:44:44 +0200 Subject: Call for papers: ICHL session, Montreal Message-ID: CALL FOR PAPERS Linguistic Subfield(s): Historical Linguistics / Sociolinguistics Call Deadline: 15-Apr-2007 Papers are invited for the following session at the International Conference on Historical Linguistics in Montreal, August 6-11, 2007: Alternative Language Histories from the mid 18th centuries onwards, a view ‘from below’ This session on historical sociolinguistics focuses on language use from a group that is traditionally underrepresented (or ignored) in mainstream studies and conferences on language history: those writers at the very bottom of the social ladder. In recent years, however, there has been an increasing interest among language historians of the (late) 18th and 19th century in the study of documents from the lower social classes, paupers and working class emigrants. It is striking that these unschooled writers present us with a picture of language use that defeats many traditional accounts of standard languages at the time. Across language borders, it appears that this group had a relationship to language norms that was different from the small upper class layer whose language use has traditionally been the main basis for language histories. This session wishes to bring together original contributions on lower class writing from different languages and will try to convey a view on 18th and 19th century language history 'from below' (socially speaking). Recurring themes will therefore include the study of literacy, schooling practices and the evolving role of language norms for the creation of a specific social identity. If you wish to contribute to this workshop, please contact the organisers before April 15th, 2007: France Martineau, Université d’Ottawa fmartin at uottawa.ca Wim Vandenbussche, Vrije Universiteit Brussel wvdbussc at vub.ac.be Presentations may be given in English or French.

Muriel Norde Associate professor of Scandinavian linguistics University of Groningen ---------------- official announcement ------------------------ The Center for Language and Cognition, Groningen, invites qualified applicants to apply for eight (8) PhD fellowships now available in Linguistics. The fellowships are open to students with Master's degrees in Linguistics or a related field such as Computer Science, Psychology, English, or Artificial Intelligence, and provide funds for a four-year research project leading to a PhD dissertation. Groningen is at the moment especially interested in applications in computational linguistics, neurolinguistics, and language variation and change, but will consider applications in corpus linguistics, the psycholinguistics of discourse, and language and literacy development.

We invite papers (20 minutes + 10 minutes for discussion) on any topic related to corpus linguistics applied to the historical study of Ibero-Romance languages. We especially encourage the participation of researchers in charge of current corpus projects. Paper abstracts of 300 words maximum should be submitted using the application which is in the colloquium’s website (http://www.bibliamedieval.es). Abstracts can be written in any Ibero-Romance language or English, and will be evaluated by the members of the scientific committee. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is May 30th 2007. This meeting also aims at promoting the coordination of the different corpus initiatives within the realm of Ibero-Romance historical linguistics. Time will be devoted to discussing a number of issues related to the methodology of corpus-based historical linguistics in the area of Ibero-Romance languages: composition of the corpora, transcription guidelines, text preparation, possibility of access to facsimile images, philological information that should accompany texts (date, geographic origin, etc.), mark-up languages, lemmatization, grammatical labels, etc. ORGANIZING COMMITTEE: Andrés Enrique Arias (director), andres.enrique at uib.es Antonio Bernat Vistarini (secretary), a.bernat at uib.es Cristina Matute Martínez, matutec at madrid.slu.edu Aitor García Moreno, aitor.garcia at uib.es Laura Camargo Fernández, laura.camargo at uib.es Magdalena Romera Ciria María Nadia Lassel Sopeña SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE: Inés Fernández-Ordóñez (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) Carmen Isasi (Universidad de Deusto) Johannes Kabatek (Universiy of Tubingen) Claus Pusch (University of Freiburg) Ramón Santiago (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) Dieter Wanner (Ohio State University) PLENARY TALKS.
