Meeting Description
Workshop on strategies of integrating and isolating non-native entities and
structures (to be held as part of the 30th annual meeting of the Deutsche
Gesellschaft für Sprachwissenschaft (DGfS), Bamberg, Germany, 27-29 February 2008)
2nd Call for Papers (English version)
(German version below)
Information on the Workshop
Loan words are one of the linguistics topics that are of great interest to
non-linguists. Comparable to the debate on the reform of the German orthography,
the discussion about loans is often neither focused on the subject nor is it
theoretically and empirically founded. However, the demand for legal protection
of the language - comparable to the laws in France and Poland - disagrees with
the fact that most loans used in present-day German are neither borrowed
directly from English or Latin nor from any other language. Actually, most
''loan words'' are home made lexical units, formed by means of productive German
word-formation processes. This example clearly shows that the integration of
non-native elements has progressed further than usually assumed by the average
speaker.
However, in spite of the great interest in the subject, comprehensive research
on the integration of loans into recipient languages is still missing. Against
this background, the aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers from
different philologies and disciplines with different theoretical and methodical
backgrounds. We hope to initiate a comprehensive exchange about non-native
entities and structures and are looking forward to a fruitful discussion not
limited to particular topics or languages.
The workshop addresses all linguists, irrespective of their field and language
of research, who are interested in the borrowing of linguistic entities and
structures and their integration or non-integration into a recipient language.
We invite contributions concerned with the subject of the workshop including but
not limited to topics such as the following:
- pronunciation and spelling of loans
- inflection of loan verbs, nouns and adjectives
- neoclassical word-formation
- integration of loan words into the lexicon
Apart of these traditionally better studied topics, the workshop also aims at
the discussion of syntactic, semantic and pragmatic aspects of loans, e.g.:
- the syntactical integration or isolation of loan phrases
- the argument structure of loan verbs
- loan meaning, the broadening, narrowing or shift of meaning due to loan processes
We also welcome contributions addressed to the strategies of single speakers or
whole speech communities regarding their handling of loans.
Call deadline: August 15, 2007
Submission of Abstracts:

2nd Call for Papers (Deutsche Fassung)
(English version above)
Arbeitsgruppe zu Strategien der Integration und Isolation nicht-nativer
Einheiten und Strukturen (im Rahmen der 30. Jahrestagung der Deutschen
Gesellschaft für Sprachwissenschaft (DGfS) in Bamberg, 27.-29. Februar 2008)
Informationen zur Arbeitsgruppe
Fremdwörter sind eines der sprachwissenschaftlichen Themen, die in der
Öffentlichkeit auf große Resonanz stoßen. Wie die Debatte um die
Rechtschreibreform verläuft die ''Fremdwort-Diskussion'' häufig nicht
sachorientiert und oftmals weder theoretisch noch empirisch fundiert. Die in
Deutschland immer wieder erhobene Forderung nach einem Gesetz zum Schutz der
Sprache - wie sie etwa in Frankreich und Polen bestehen - steht jedoch in
offenem Widerspruch zu der Tatsache, dass die meisten heutzutage im Deutschen
verwendeten ''Fremdwörter'' nicht etwa aus dem Englischen oder dem Lateinischen
entlehnt sind, sondern vielmehr im Deutschen mithilfe produktiver
Wortbildungsprozesse gebildet wurden. Dieses Beispiel zeigt, dass die
Integration nicht-nativer Elemente de facto oft deutlich weiter fortgeschritten
ist als von den Sprechern angenommen.
Trotz des großen Interesses an der Thematik fehlen bis heute weitgehend
Forschungsarbeiten, die sich übergreifend mit der Integration von Entlehnungen
in eine Zielsprache beschäftigen. Vor diesem Hintergrund soll es das Ziel dieser
AG sein, Forscher(innen) aus unterschiedlichen Philologien und Disziplinen mit
unterschiedlicher theoretischer und methodischer Ausrichtung zusammenzubringen,
um einen umfassenden Austausch zu ermöglichen und eine themen- und
sprachübergreifende Diskussion bezüglich nicht-nativer Einheiten und Strukturen
anzustoßen.
Die AG wendet sich an Sprachwissenschaftler(innen) aller Fachgebiete und
Disziplinen, die sich mit der Entlehnung sprachlicher Einheiten und Strukturen
und deren Integration bzw. Nicht-Integration in eine Zielsprache beschäftigen.
Wir bitten um Beiträge zum Thema des Workshops, die sich beispielsweise mit
einem der folgenden Probleme beschäftigen:
- Aussprache und Schreibung von Fremdwörtern
- Flexionsverhalten entlehnter Verben, Substantive und Adjektive
- neoklassische Wortbildung
- Integration von Fremdwörtern ins Lexikon
Neben diesen traditionell stärker erforschten Themengebieten sollen in der AG
aber auch syntaktische, semantische und pragmatische Aspekte von Entlehnungen
diskutiert werden, etwa:
- die syntaktische Integration oder Isolierung entlehnter Phrasen
- die Argumentstruktur und Kasusrektion entlehnter Verben
- Lehnbedeutungen, Bedeutungserweiterung, einengung und Bedeutungsverschiebung
als Folge der Entlehnung
Willkommen sind auch Beiträge, die die Strategien einzelner Sprecher oder ganzer
Sprachgemein-schaften beim Umgang mit Entlehnungen untersuchen.
Call deadline: 15. August 2007
Einreichung der Abstracts
Abstracts sollen nicht länger als eine Seite sein (Seitenränder jeweils 2,5 cm,
Schriftgröße 12 pt). Der Kopf des Abstracts sollte folgende Informationen
enthalten: Name des/der Vortragenden, Anschrift, E-Mail-Adresse und Titel des
Abstracts. Abstracts können in Deutsch oder Englisch eingereicht werden. (Bitte
verwenden Sie die Sprache, in der Sie vortragen möchten.)
Die Vorträge zum AG-Thema sollen 20 Min. umfassen (+ 10 Min. Diskussion).
Abhängig von der Zahl und der Qualität der Abstracts, die wir erhalten, besteht
ggf. die Möglichkeit für längere Prä-sentationen (45+15 Min.). Bitte teilen Sie
uns mit, falls Sie Interesse an einem längeren Vortrag haben.
Bitte senden Sie Ihr Abstract im Word-Format (RTF) und/oder PDF-Format
elektronisch parallel an beide AG-Leiterinnen:
Carmen Scherer (cscherer at uni-mainz.de)
Anke Holler (holler at cl.uni-heidelberg.de).
Bitte beachten Sie, dass die Arbeitsgruppe Bestandteil der DGfS-Jahrestagung (AG
10) ist. Alle Workshop-Teilnehmer müssen sich für die Tagung anmelden.
Bitte beachten Sie zusätzlich, dass Vortragende gemäß den DGfS-Richtlinien nur
in einer der 13 Arbeitsgruppen der Tagung vortragen dürfen.

English Language Teacher Education, Warwick University, U.K. and Dr. Victoria
Escandell-Vidal, Professor of Linguistics at the UNED, Spain, have confirmed
their presence as the symposium's keynote speakers.
The Symposium will serve as a forum where applied linguists and practitioners of
Pragmatics and Discourse Analysis can meet, share experiences, discuss common
problems, and present papers on their latest research in the field. EPICS III
also wishes to create awareness among graduating students of the growing
interest in this area of linguistic expertise.

the last 5 minutes will be devoted to questions and discussion) on any topic
relevant to the mission of ''Intercultural Pragmatics and Language Teaching''.
The symposium is especially interested in papers that:
- explore the implications of pragmatics research for theoretical developments
and practical applications in the fields of second language acquisition and
intercultural communication,
- discuss language in use in the context of cross-cultural interaction,
- analyze pragmatics research findings from the perspective of bi- and
multilingual development,
- study the nature of interaction of bi- and multilinguals and language learners,
- investigate the effect of dual language and multilingual systems on the
development and use of pragmatics skills,
- examine the teachability and learnability of pragmatic skills in instructional
environments.
