Dear subscribers:<br>
<br>
We are looking for people with specialist knowledge of the history of<br>
particular languages to contribute data to the efforts of the World<br>
Loanword Series, which is a continuation of the Loanword Typology<br>
Project which was headed from 2004-2010 by Martin Haspelmath and Uri<br>
Tadmor (see Loanwords in the world’s languages: a comparative<br>
handbook, edited by Martin Haspelmath and Uri Tadmor, Mouton de<br>
Gruyter,2009). The aim of this is to investigate cross-linguistically,<br>
in an accountable way, what can be borrowed and what is likely or<br>
unlikely to be borrowed, in the world's languages. The database<br>
contains entries for 1600 concepts, and although we would like<br>
information on the equivalents of the concepts in the database, borrowed<br>
lexical items and items which are loan translations from other languages<br>
are our especial concern. We would like people working on a language<br>
for the WLS to fill out the database for their language as far as<br>
possible, and also to provide us with a prose chapter of up to 8000<br>
words on the loanwords in that database, their sources and information<br>
about the language contact history of speakers of this language, which<br>
is intended to appear in an online collection and maybe in a paper<br>
volume. The finished databases will be added to those in the Loanword<br>
Typology superdatabase. A link to the concept database is here:<br>
<a href="http://email.eva.mpg.de/~taylor/wold/help.html" target="_blank">http://email.eva.mpg.de/~taylor/wold/help.html</a><br>
While we are interested in contibutions for as many languages as<br>
possible, some geographical areas or genealogical groupings were<br>
under-explored in the Loanword Typology Project. We are therefore<br>
especially interested in coverage of languages of Native North America,<br>
Khoisan languages, non-Austronesian languages of Papua New Guinea and<br>
the Solomons, Basque, Korean, Mongolic and Palaeosiberian languages, and<br>
languages of the Middle East, the southern and western Caucasus, and the<br>
Indian subcontinent.<br>
If you are interested, please contact us in the first instance for more<br>
details.<br>
