Subject: Linguistic Colloquium on Mixed Languages

 
Full Title: Linguistic Colloquium on Mixed Languages 

Date: 28-Sep-2017 - 29-Sep-2017
Location: Bremen, Germany 
Contact Person: Maria Mazzoli
Meeting Email: mazzoli at uni-bremen.de

Linguistic Field(s): Anthropological Linguistics; Genetic Classification; Historical Linguistics; Typology 

Call Deadline: 05-May-2017 

Meeting Description:

Mixed languages have fascinated scholars for decades (e.g. Bakker & Mous 1994,
Auer 1999, Matras & Bakker 2003, Meakins 2013) because they present an
intriguing type of language contact.  They arise in bilingual settings, often
as markers of identity or as secret languages, and they combine parts from
different language families or branches, showing unique splits that often
challenge theories of genetic classification and contact-induced change. 

Invited speakers:

Peter Bakker (Aarhus University)
Katja Hannß (University of Cologne)
Yaron Matras (University of Manchester)
Marten Mous (Leiden University)

The meeting is organized by the Postcolonial Language Studies research group
as part of the Linguistic Colloquium series at the Institute for General and
Applied Linguistics (IAAS), University of Bremen.
