The academic organizer of this conference will be Professor Roger Wright (University of Liverpool); the local organizer will be Dr J. C. Smith (St Catherine's College, Oxford). It is provisionally foreseen that there will be an opening plenary lecture by Professor David Langslow (University of Manchester) after the evening meal on the Wednesday, and a closing plenary before lunch on the Saturday. In between there will be space for some 50 shorter papers, probably arranged in two parallel sessions. The conference languages are English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, or Late Vulgar Latin. The second circular, to be circulated in the summer of 2005, will invite offers of papers (to be submitted before 1st February 2006). There will be a reception in All Souls College on Thursday 7th September, hosted by Professor J. N. Adams; and a tour of items of interest to Late and Vulgar Latinists in the Bodleian Library after lunch on the Saturday. It is also foreseen that most conference participants will be resident in en-suite rooms in St Catherine's College itself. There will be room in College for 120 resident participants. The College will provide all meals from the evening meal on the Wednesday 6th September to lunch on Saturday 9th September, inclusive. St Catherine's has an excellent reputation for its food and wine. The all-inclusive cost per person for accommodation in college and all meals from Wednesday evening to Saturday lunch, including the conference fee for room hire, etc., and the reception, is likely to be about £300.00 (pounds sterling). The precise figure will be included in the second circular. It will also be possible to be a non-resident participant; to attend for only part of the conference, paying pro rata; and to book bed and breakfast in the college for the subsequent night of Saturday 9th September. PLEASE NOTE: The second circular will be sent to all and only those who have responded positively to this first one. If you wish to receive the second circular, with its further details, please reply to Roger Wright (e-mail roger.wright at liv.ac.uk; or by post at the Department of Hispanic Studies, University of Liverpool, L69 3BX; or by fax to [0044]-151-794-2785) BEFORE 1ST JULY 2005. Please feel free to forward this circular to anybody who you think will be interested.

Especially in its initial stages, linguistic change is tied not only to particular text types or registers, but also to specific morphosyntactic and semantic environments, i.e. to specific recurring patterns of co-present linguistic features, that is to say 'constructions'. This workshop investigates and highlights the role of 'constructions' in linguistic change. In doing so, the term 'constructions' is deliberately understood to have a broad extension, i.e. to include, but not be limited to Construction Grammar proper. Thus, any constructional approach to language and language change is welcome. INTRODUCTION Studies in diachronic linguistics increasingly acknowledge that linguistic change is highly context-dependent. Especially in its initial stages, linguistic change is tied not only to particular text types or registers, but also to specific morphosyntactic and semantic environments, i.e. to specific recurring patterns of co-present linguistic features, that is to say ''constructions''. This workshop investigates and highlights the role of ''constructions'' in linguistic change. In doing so, the term ''constructions'' is deliberately understood to have a broad extension, i.e. to include, but not be limited to Construction Grammar proper. Thus, any constructional approach to language and language change is welcome. Suggestions for topics to be addressed in this workshop include: - The role of constructions as source(s) of linguistic change - The role of constructions as product(s) of linguistic change - Mechanisms of change within constructions - Constructions and grammaticalization - Constructions, frequency, and linguistic change - Cross-linguistic constructional phenomena in linguistic change - The definition and delimitation of the terms ''construction'', ''context'', etc. CALL FOR PAPERS We encourage abstract submission on any of the topics mentioned above. Papers on other related issues are also welcome. Papers, no matter whether theory or data-driven, need not take a construction grammar point of view, but should explicitly employ a constructional approach to language. Presentations will have the usual 20 min + 10 min discussion format. We plan to publish selected proceedings with an international publishing house. Abstracts of no more than 350 words should be sent as MS WORD compatible files to the following address: bergs at phil-fak.uni-duesseldorf.de Deadline is March 1, 2005. Notification of acceptance will be sent out April 1, 2005. Needless to say, participants in the workshop need to register for the main conference. HAVE YOU SEEN OUR NEW JOURNALS?

In between there will be space for some 50 shorter papers, probably arranged in two parallel sessions. The conference languages are English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, or Late Vulgar Latin. The second circular, to be circulated in the summer of 2005, will invite offers of papers (to be submitted before 1st February 2006). There will be a reception in All Souls College on Thursday 7th September, hosted by Professor J. N. Adams; and a tour of items of interest to Late and Vulgar Latinists in the Bodleian Library after lunch on the Saturday. It is also foreseen that most conference participants will be resident in en-suite rooms in St Catherine's College itself. There will be room in College for 120 resident participants. The College will provide all meals from the evening meal on the Wednesday 6th September to lunch on Saturday 9th September, inclusive. St Catherine's has an excellent reputation for its food and wine. The all-inclusive cost per person for accommodation in college and all meals from Wednesday evening to Saturday lunch, including the conference fee for room hire, etc., and the reception, is likely to be about ?300.00 (pounds sterling). The precise figure will be included in the second circular. It will also be possible to be a non-resident participant; to attend for only part of the conference, paying pro rata; and to book bed and breakfast in the college for the subsequent night of Saturday 9th September. PLEASE NOTE: The second circular will be sent to all and only those who have responded positively to this first one. If you wish to receive the second circular, with its further details, please reply to Roger Wright (e-mail roger.wright at liv.ac.uk; or by post at the Department of Hispanic Studies, University of Liverpool, L69 3BX; or by fax to [0044]-151-794-2785) BEFORE 1ST JULY 2005. Please feel free to forward this circular to anybody who you think will be interested.

Unfortunately, many of you couldn't read it. JC is currently working on getting me one in proper format that everyone can read. In the meantime, JC's mailbox is overwhelmed with messages from you. I will post his announcement as soon as he corrects the problem.

Especially in its initial stages, linguistic change is tied not only to particular text types or registers, but also to specific morphosyntactic and semantic environments, i.e. to specific recurring patterns of co-present linguistic features, that is to say 'constructions'. This workshop investigates and highlights the role of 'constructions' in linguistic change. In doing so, the term 'constructions' is deliberately understood to have a broad extension, i.e. to include, but not be limited to Construction Grammar proper. Thus, any constructional approach to language and language change is welcome. INTRODUCTION Studies in diachronic linguistics increasingly acknowledge that linguistic change is highly context-dependent. Especially in its initial stages, linguistic change is tied not only to particular text types or registers, but also to specific morphosyntactic and semantic environments, i.e. to specific recurring patterns of co-present linguistic features, that is to say ''constructions''. This workshop investigates and highlights the role of ''constructions'' in linguistic change. In doing so, the term ''constructions'' is deliberately understood to have a broad extension, i.e. to include, but not be limited to Construction Grammar proper. Thus, any constructional approach to language and language change is welcome. Suggestions for topics to be addressed in this workshop include: - The role of constructions as source(s) of linguistic change - The role of constructions as product(s) of linguistic change - Mechanisms of change within constructions - Constructions and grammaticalization - Constructions, frequency, and linguistic change - Cross-linguistic constructional phenomena in linguistic change - The definition and delimitation of the terms ''construction'', ''context'', etc. CALL FOR PAPERS We encourage abstract submission on any of the topics mentioned above. Papers on other related issues are also welcome. Papers, no matter whether theory or data-driven, need not take a construction grammar point of view, but should explicitly employ a constructional approach to language. Presentations will have the usual 20 min + 10 min discussion format. We plan to publish selected proceedings with an international publishing house. Abstracts of no more than 350 words should be sent as MS WORD compatible files to the following address: bergs at phil-fak.uni-duesseldorf.de Deadline is March 1, 2005. Notification of acceptance will be sent out April 1, 2005. Needless to say, participants in the workshop need to register for the main conference. HAVE YOU SEEN OUR NEW JOURNALS?
