International Seminar on Creole Languages 

Date: 25-Aug-2009 - 29-Aug-2009 
Location: Munich, Germany 
Contact: Elissa Pustka 
Contact Email: creoleseminar at romanistik.uni-muenchen.de 
Meeting URL: http://www.creoleseminar.org 

Linguistic Field(s): Morphology; Phonology; Semantics; Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

The International Seminar on Creole Languages provides ample opportunity for 
scholars doing research on creole languages to exchange ideas and debate current issues in the field. We especially invite post-graduate students at advanced M.A.,- doc- and post-doc level.

Each 3-hour session is dedicated to one specific aspect of creole linguistics. It will be moderated by an experienced researcher, who presents the main issues and critical questions from own research and leads the discussion with the participants.

The workshop makes it possible to share experience and expertise from own research and discuss problems with colleagues experienced in different Portuguese-, French, English- and Spanish-based creole languages.

This year's topics in the areas of Semantics, Phonology and Syntax focus on 
descriptive approaches to creoles.

The conference language will be English.

Prof. Jürgen Lang (Erlangen) &
