Dear all,****
I’m happy to inform you of the on-going creation of a new peer-reviewed
book series intitled ‘*Language Contact and Dynamics of Language’*,
published by *Brill.*****
This Collection will allow the expansion of the theme of *Journal of
Language Contact*, and also, it will accept works that introduce a critical
thinking about the general problem of contact between languages.****
See presentation (below and file attached). For proposals and additional
information, please contact the Series Editor.****
Best wishes,****
Robert Nicolaï
*Cher tous,*
*J’ai le plaisir de vous faire part de la création en cours, aux Éditions
Brill, d’une nouvelle collection d’ouvrages (peer-reviewed book series)
dans les domaines du contact des langues et la dynamique du langage. Elle
est intitulée – sans surprise ! – « Language Contact and Dynamics of
Language ».*
*Cette Collection permettra l'élargissement de la thématique de la revue
Journal of Langage Contact, et elle se propose aussi d’accepter des travaux
qui visent à introduire une réflexion critique par rapport à la
problématique générale du contact des langues. Son parti pris de
croisements disciplinaires et son intérêt pour la réflexion sur nos saisies
théoriques, fermement adossés à l’étude empirique, pourraient intéresser
certains. *
*** ****Vous en trouverez la présentation ci-dessous et en pièce jointe.*
*En ce qui concerne vos propositions et les renseignements complémentaires,
vous trouverez les informations utiles auprès du directeur de la collection
(Series Editor).*
* Bien à vous*
* Robert Nicolaï*
*Scope of the series ‘**Language Contact and Dynamics of Language’**:*
* *This new peer-reviewed book series focuses on the study of language
contact, language use and language change in accordance with a view of
language contact whereby both empirical data (the precise description of
languages and how they are used) and the resulting theoretical elaborations
(hence the statement and analysis of new problems) become the primary
engines for advancing our understanding of the nature of language and the
dynamics of language change. This involves linguistic, anthropological,
sociological, historical, and cognitive factors, but also a potentially
critical approach to the methods used for the study of the phenomena. Such
an approach makes a major new contribution to the understanding of language
change and the dynamics of language at a time when there is a notable
increase in interest and activity in this field and where a continual
reshaping of theoretical approaches is apparent. This implies particular
attention to the epistemological frameworks that reshape the requirements
for knowledge in this field. The series will publish monographs as well as
edited volumes and conference proceedings centered around a coherent theme.

*Series description* :
. The Series will primarily comprise single topic
monographs and edited volumes of previously unpublished material. Other
types of work may also be accepted for publication in the Series if agreed
upon by both the Series Editor and the Publisher. ****
. Typescripts for Volumes in the Series shall yield
minimally approximately 250 printed pages or comprising approximately
85,000 words and/or space in diagrams, formulae, tables, and/or black and
white illustrations.
*FYI.* *Forthcoming* (2014) :
*Limits of contact, contact at its limits. Questioning language contact as
‘phenomenon’, ‘concept’ and ‘construction’.*
*Topic** :*
The *study of language contact *has become a popular topic in present
linguistic research and is thus considered today as a worthwhile scientific
interest. But how to continue for those who have been studying this topic
for long and how to avoid the negative consequences of mainstreamed
research? The purpose here shall be to critically review the development of
this issue at distance by focusing on the following points:****
1. *What can we learn in general from the study of language contact *for
our knowledge of languages, their dynamics and their functions (systemic
elaborations, language practices, semiotic developments)?****
2. *How should linguistic theory incorporate *the empirical findings of
language contact studies and the underlying postulates of existing models
be altered (in our analysis’s choices and epistemic frameworks),****
3. *Is the metaphorical concept of “contact” *including all its
potential readings and extensions sustainable and operational (in the same
way as ‘border’, ‘frontier’, ‘disruption, ‘divide’ ...),****
4. *Which role does language contact play or has it played *for the
history of linguistic research and academic life, in which way has this
idea been influential to individual researches and their approaches.
*Provisional Summary (*in alphabetical order)*.*
