Meeting Description:

The Forum on Language Change is accepting proposals on “Language Change and
Boundaries in the U.S.” for the 2017 MLA in Philadelphia. We seek papers that
examine how language change in the United States casts new light on the
conventional boundaries between native and foreign language, first and second
language, standard and non-standard language, language and dialect and/or
other factors involved in linguistic division (social, political, regional,
etc.).

Call for Papers:

Papers that address the theoretical and empirical relevance of ‘boundary’ in
language change from interdisciplinary perspectives are especially welcome.
Please send a 300-word abstract by March 7, to Craig Christy
(tcchristy at una.edu).
