Meeting Description:

Grammars that develop under constrained input conditions provide a unique
window into the mechanisms of language diachrony and language change.
Heritage languages have been the center of a vast number of studies over the
last few decades. Some of these studies have focused on structural properties
of heritage grammars in comparison to the baseline grammars (i.e. the
languages spoken by first generation immigrants), with the aim of
understanding whether the mechanisms of resolution of “optionality”, or more
simply structural alternation, are common to all heritage languages or
specific to the languages in contact.

This workshop will focus on heritage language syntax, with particular
attention to the issue of structural optionality resolution in contact
situations.

We welcome papers on heritage language syntax; papers addressing the following
questions are particularly welcome:

- Is there true optionality in the language spoken by first generation
immigrants?

- Are there phenomena that are more prone to optionality/change than others?

- Is optionality in the input always resolved by heritage speakers? How?

- What is the different behavior of verbal and nominal domain in heritage
languages due to?

- Are there structural similarities or differences between heritage languages
and creoles?

- Does the change in heritage languages reflect diachronic/endogenous change?


Call for Papers:

Abstracts should be anonymous and no longer than two A4 pages, including
references and examples, with margins of at least 2,5 cm, font size 11, single
spaced. Submissions are limited to a maximum of one individual and one joint
abstract per author.

Presentations will be 30 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for discussion.

Abstracts can be submitted through EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=hls1) no later than 31 October 2019.
Notification of acceptance will be given by 30 November.
