Subject: Variation in Heritage Languages: Language Contact vs. Internal Developments (Workshop of DGfS 2020)

 
Full Title: Variation in Heritage Languages: Language Contact vs. Internal Developments (Workshop of DGfS 2020) 

Date: 04-Mar-2020 - 06-Mar-2020
Location: Hamburg, Germany 
Contact Person: Maria Martynova
Meeting Email: maria.martynova at hu-berlin.de
Web Site: https://www.zfs.uni-hamburg.de/dgfs2020/dgfs2020.html 

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Pragmatics; Semantics; Sociolinguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 12-Aug-2019 

Meeting Description:

A fascinating area for research on bilingualism is offered by heritage
speakers (HSs). The constant contact of the heritage language and the majority
language creates a contact-linguistic setting that is particularly open to
linguistic variation (cf. Montrul 2016). Previous studies on heritage
languages have shown that HSs are close to monolingual speakers in some
language areas, e.g., they often develop monolingual-like competence in sound
production. In other domains, however, HSs tend to show noncanonical patterns,
e.g., they prefer overt structures in both syntax and morphology over those
that are covert (cf. Polinsky 2018).
 
In the past, noncanonical structures have often been viewed as attrition or
incomplete acquisition, as critically discussed by Rothman and Treffers-Daller
(2014). However, these structures can also be seen as indicators of new
grammatical options in bilingual systems. The goal of this workshop is to
discuss the status and source of such structures: (1) noncanonical phenomena
as development of new dialects vs. incomplete acquisition or erosion, (2) the
distinction of contact-induced change vs. language-internal developments and
variation, and (3) the relevance of internal vs. external grammatical
interfaces.


2nd Call for Papers:

Call for Papers deadline extension: August 12, 2019

This workshop invites speakers to present their research on both heritage and
majority languages from different language domains: phonetics and phonology,
morphology and syntax, semantics and pragmatics. We welcome presentations
ranging from theoretical grammatical analysis to corpus linguistics, and
covering a variety of language pairs, settings, and age groups. The desired
result is to gain new insights into the dynamics of language variation in
contact situations and the modelling of noncanonical structures in the
grammatical system. 

Time for talks: 20 min presentation, 10 minutes questions 
Group Language: English 

Abstracts should be anonymously submitted at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dgfs2020 in PDF format and not exceed
500 words without references and graphs. Abstracts should clearly address the
topic of the workshop, state the research question(s), the method, and the
(expected) results. Please also include a list of 5 keywords. 

A limited number of travel grants of up to 500 Euro each are available for
accepted contributions by DGfS members without/with low income. If you would
like to be considered for a grant, please send a short letter of motivation to
the contact email. 

Dates: 

Deadline for abstract submission: August 12 2019, 23:55 CET 
Notification of acceptance: Early September, 2019 
Workshop: March 04-06, 2020, Hamburg 

Please note that the regulations of the German Linguistics Society (DGfS) do
not allow that workshop participants present two or more papers in different
workshops.
