Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 31-May-2012 

Meeting Description:

In the aftermath of immigration, new generations often speak 'heritage languages', a notion Rothman (2009) defines this way: 

A language qualifies as a heritage language if it is a language spoken at home or otherwise readily available to young children, and crucially this language is not a dominant language of the larger (national) society. 

Heritage languages have only recently become a major topic of interest among linguists, explored for their implications for linguistic theory, especially in terms of acquisition, attrition and change. This workshop aims to promote discussion of heritage languages across different languages, subfields and theoretical persuasions.

Plenary Speaker:

John Lipski 

Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts for 20-minute presentations on any aspect of the linguistics (e.g., structural, generative, historical, sociolinguistic, or experimental) of heritage languages in the Americas. Abstracts can be a maximum of two pages in length (including diagrams, charts, and references), and should be sent anonymously this email address: 

immigrantlanguages3 at psu.edu

The submission deadline is May 31, 2012. We will contact those accepted for presentation by June 30, 2012.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
