Meeting Description:

The international conference announced under the title ''Language Contact from
an I-language Perspective'' aims at being a showcase for the latest
contributions and advances in our understanding of contact related language
change and language development. 

Invited Speakers:

- Enoch Aboh (University of Amsterdam)
- Terje Lohndal (Norwegian University of Science and Technology)
- Ianthi Maria Tsimpli (Cambridge University)

The workshop is funded by the project AThEME (Advancing the European
Multilingual Experience), a european research project devoted to the study of
multilingualism from different perspectives, including the multilingual mind
and brain, as well as specific issues related to regional linguistic
minorities and heritage language speakers in Europe, language contact being a
prominent aspect. Unlike the specific european scope of this project, we are
interested in all works addressing grammatical aspects of language contact,
including language development and diachronic change, as long as this work is
embedded in I-language notions, and aims at the understanding of general
properties of the language faculty.

The workshop will be held at the Auditorium Antonio Beristain, in the campus
of the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU) in Donostia-San Sebastian,
the 27-28 October 2016. Donostia-San Sebastián is the actual cultural capital
of Europe for the year 2016. Nominal Classification in South-East Asia

Final Call for Papers:

Deadline extension: July 8, 2016

We would like to invite contributions addressing the following basic questions
from this perspective.

- Which functions are contact-sensitive and under what conditions can those
features be selected for recombination in a contact situation?
- What aspects of the architecture of the linguistic system are relevant for
contact-induced change?
- What is the role of the input and the different acquisition situations (age
of exposure to different languages, simultaneous or sequential acquisition of
the languages in contact, among other variables) in the emergence of novel
vernaculars?
- What can contact-induced change contribute to recent discussion on the
nature of linguistic variation and its modeling (e.g. the notion of
parameter)?
- What can contact derived varieties contribute critically to established
grammatical generalizations ?

The international workshop announced under the title ''Language Contact from
an I-language Perspective'' has as its aim to address those issues (and others
which assume or incorporate I-language notions) by means of a specifically
dedicated meeting. Papers addressing concrete instantiations of a
contact-induced change that may cast light on one or more of the questions
above are welcome, as are also works taking a more general perspective on the
interest of pursuing contact induced change for grammatical theory and by
extension, for the cognitive sciences.

Each paper presentation will be allotted 20 minutes plus a 10 minute question
period. Abstracts should be no longer than two pages in length (including
examples and references), in a 12-point font, single line spacing and 2,5 cm.
margins. Submissions are limited to a maximum of one individual and one joint
abstract per author.

Authors are asked to submit their abstracts in an anonymous PDF file to the
following site:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lcilp2016

Please add 5 keywords and specify whether your submission is for an oral
presentation, poster or both. (If you do not have an EasyChair account, please
follow the instructions provided and create one.)

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the 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 Indiana University 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.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
