Call for Papers:

The Conference invites paper submissions on the historical, typological and sociolinguistic perspectives on Indian languages in contact situations. We welcome submissions on Indian diaspora abroad. Presentations may focus on describing processes involved in bringing about particular outcomes of contact as well as on theoretical issues. Studies covering languages of different genetic origins are especially welcome. Abstracts may be submitted on topics including but not limited to the following themes:

1. Identifying contact-induced change and differentiating it from language-internal change (e.g. grammaticalisation)
2. Processes of linguistic diffusion in contact situations
3. The role of bi/multilingualism in contact-induced change
4. The mechanisms of contact-induced change (borrowing, diglossia, code-mixing, code-alternation, etc.)
5. The effect of speakers’ attitudes toward contact-induced change on the outcome of contact
6. The effects of stable contact vis-a-vis transitional contact
7. The role of microlinguistic areas in understanding processes of language change
8. A typology of language contact situations in India
