Subject: Restructuring in Creole Languages
International Symposium / Symposium International
Degrees of Restructuring in Creole Languages /
Degres de restructuration dans les langues creoles
24-27 June 1998
University of Regensburg, Germany
Call for Papers
In recent years, creole studies has increasingly returned to the
question of creole genesis. Hall's conventional model of creolization
as spontaneous language generation by a first generation of children
has turned out to be too idealized and hardly tenable. Recent work
suggests that, presumably, creolization did not happen abruptly but
rather gradually, and that the rate and intensity of creolization
varied from one creole region to another. In this context, the notion
of "restructuring" has become increasingly important. The term denotes
processes of linguistic, particularly morphosyntactic, change which
have systematized and autonomized tendencies inherent in contact
languages. Parallels between creoles with different base languages
suggest the existence of certain recurrent patterns of restructuring,
but the restructuring process as such has apparently not affected all
creoles to the same extent. Several varieties, sometimes called
"semi-creoles" or the like, appear to have been restructured only
partially, a fact which obviously assigns special importance to them
for the understanding of creolization. In this light, the very notions
of "creole" and "creolization" are to be interpreted as scalar rather
than dichotomous phenomena.
The International Symposium at the University of Regensburg is
intended to promote a better understanding of the processes of partial
restructuring in creolization, to support the development of
theoretical models of this process, and to encourage further and
improved descriptive analyses of the varieties in question, some of
which are still insufficiently documented. Papers which are relevant
to this topic are invited. Both empirical studies of any of the
varieties in question and theoretical discussions of the issues just
mentioned, preferably papers which combine both aspects, will be we
lcomed. Papers should take 30 minutes, to be followed by 15 minutes of
discussion. Conference languages are English and French. A one-page
abstract should be sent to either of the organizers by June 30,
1997. Proposals for papers will be reviewed, and notifications of
acceptance will be sent out soon afterwards.
Upon request, a slightly more comprehensive project description is
available in English or French. For further information, contact one
