PARASESSION:

NEW SOLUTIONS TO OLD PROBLEMS: ISSUES IN ROMANCE HISTORICAL LINGUISTICS
Organized by Steven Dworkin

Invited Speaker:  Dieter Wanner (OSU)

Abstracts for twenty-minute papers are invited for a parasesison on the
theme "New Solutions to Old Problems: Issues in Romance Historical
Linguistics." This session seeks to explore how developments in such fields
as grammaticalization, typology, sociolinguistics, language contact, formal
theory, etc. may offer new insights into explaining changes that have
ocurred in the development over time of the Romance Languages.  Papers
should deal with specific changes in individual Romance languages or with
evolutionary trends in the Romance family as a whole.  Papers that are in
essence synchronic descriptions of attested older states of Romance
languages are not suitable for this parasession.  Abstract guidelines are
the same as those for the Main Session.

All submissions should be sent to:
