<div><b>Call for Papers</b></div>
<p>Mixed languages have fascinated scholars for decades (e.g. Bakker & Mous 1994, Auer 1999, Matras & Bakker 2003, Meakins 2013) because they present an intriguing type of language contact. They arise in bilingual settings, often as markers of identity or as
secret languages, and they combine parts from different language families or branches, showing unique splits that often challenge theories of genetic classification and contact-induced change.</p>
<p>The aim of this colloquium is to examine the current state of the theoretical and empirical debate on mixed languages. We welcome contributions that deal with any aspect of mixed language varieties, for example:<br>
– descriptive and documentation approaches to mixed languages<br>
– theoretical discussions on mixed languages, their origin, and development<br>
– mixed languages in comparison to creoles and pidgins<br>
– different types of language mixing practices</p>
