Meeting Description:

Constructional approaches to language contact and multilingualism
Workshop proposal for ICCG-10 (10th International Conference for Construction
Grammar), Paris, 16-18 July 2018
Organizers: Hans C. Boas (Austin) and Steffen Höder (Kiel)

Over the past decades, Construction Grammar (CxG) has gained a reputation for
being able to integrate linguistic aspects that have traditionally been
treated as lying on the fringe of the language system, far beyond the
synchronic syntax-lexicon continuum that was the original focus of
construction grammar, including, for example, diachronic change (Diewald 2007;
Noël 2007; Bergs & Diewald 2008; Hilpert 2011, 2013; Barðdal et al. 2015),
intralingual variation (Leino & Östman 2005), and first language acquisition
(Tomasello 2005). In more recent years, this has included a slowly, but
steadily increasing interest in language contact, and it has been argued that
particularly usage-based approaches in CxG are better fitted to model
multilingual phenomena than, for instance, most formalist grammatical
theories. 

This development has resulted in a small, but growing body of literature (e.g.
the contributions in Hilpert & Östman 2016, Höder 2012, 2014ab, 2016,
Wasserscheidt 2014, Boas & Höder forthc.) as well as workshops in related
fields, such as the workshop on Constructions across Grammars (Freiburg 2012),
organised by Martin Hilpert and Jan-Ola Östman, and the workshop on
Construction Grammar and Language Contact at the 8th International Conference
on Construction Grammar (ICCG-8, Osnabrück 2014), organised by Hans Boas and
Steffen Höder. Furthermore, CxG approaches to language contact have sparked
interest among researchers working on second language acquisition as well
(e.g. Hendrikx, van Goethem & Meunier 2015).


Call for Papers:

This workshop brings together scholars approaching contact-related topics from
a constructionist perspective in contributions that deal with various
methodological, empirical, and theoretical aspects. The goal is to discuss how
contact linguistics and CxG can benefit from each other, with particular
emphasis on the following main questions:

- What are major challenges and advantages in using a constructionist
framework in research on language contact? 

- How can CxG approaches to language contact - in particular Diasystematic
Construction Grammar (Höder 2012, 2014ab, forthc.) - be combined with various
empirical methods, such as corpus analysis or experimental studies?

- What can CxG approaches to language contact contribute to related fields,
such as second language acquisition or contrastive linguistics?

We seek abstracts for 20-minute long presentations addressing the
above-mentioned research questions, or topics closely related to them. Please
submit your abstract (1 page, 12 pt. font, 1'' margins, including references
and data) by August 25 to the following email address:
languagecontact.iccg10 at gmail.com.
