Meeting Description:

The Workshop on Immigrant Languages in the Americas, now in its eigth year,
focuses on both formal and sociolinguistic approaches to language context
situations, especially in heritage language communities (naturally acquired
languages spoken in a community where it is not the majority variety). The
workshop covers topics from anthropological linguistics, general linguistics,
historical linguistics, language documentation and sociolinguistics.

Local organizers:
Karoline Kühl, Jan Heegård Petersen, Gert Foget Hansen and Frans Gregersen.

Dates:
Thursday, October 12, 2017 to Saturday, October 14, 2017.

Plenary speaker: Aneta Pavlenko


Call for Papers: 

We invite abstracts for 30-minute presentations (20 minutes + 10 minutes for
questions) and for poster presentations on any aspect of the linguistics of
heritage languages in the Americas (e.g., structural, generative, historical,
sociolinguistic, or experimental). Due to generous support by the A. P. Møller
Foundation, the Carlsberg Foundation and the University of Copenhagen, there
will be no conference fee.

Abstracts might be submitted for oral presentation or for poster presentation:
In both cases, abstracts should be no more than 800 words in length, including
diagrams, charts, and references.

Extended deadline for submission of abstract
June 9, 2017. Decisions on acceptance will be announced in July.

Submission:
The abstract itself should be anonymous, while the accompanying email should
contain author information and title. Abstract and email should be addressed
to wila8 at hum.ku.dk.

We plan to publish a volume of selected workshop proceedings which will
include 10-12 relatively short papers (ca. 4000 words, published probably by
Cascadilla Press). Our goal is to publish the volume soon after the workshop.
In order to be able to do so, we ask those who are interested in this option
to plan their publication so that they are able to submit a paper by November
12, 2017. 

All submitted papers will undergo peer review. Due to generous support by our
host department, Department of Nordic Languages and Linguistics at the
University of Copenhagen, there will be no publication fee.
