Subject: Call: Volume on Central American Spanish

 
Call for chapters - “Current Issues in Central American Spanish”

Editors:

Brandon Baird, Middlebury College
Osmer Balam, The College of Wooster
Maria del Carmen Parafita Couto, Leiden University

Objective:

Despite representing one of the most diverse language contact zones in the
Spanish-speaking world, Central American Spanish “has been very scarcely
studied, and viewed in a very fragmented way (Quesada Pacheco, 2008:146).”
More recent research in this linguistic area, however, has helped to further
develop our understanding of the complexities and distinguishing aspects of
Central American Spanish. The present volume, which is currently under
negotiation with Brill Publishers, aims to bring together a comprehensive
collection of chapters that will investigate different linguistic aspects of
Central American Spanish.

We invite chapters that examine the Spanish varieties that are spoken in
Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama,
as well as native speakers of these varieties of Spanish that no longer reside
in Central America (e.g., Central American immigrants in other countries,
including their children born in those countries).
  
Topics:

Topics should focus on Central American Spanish and be in the areas of
phonetics/phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics/pragmatics, historical
linguistics, sociolinguistics, language acquisition, psycholinguistics,
language contact/bilingualism, or any related discipline. Although chapters on
language contact/bilingualism may include data concerning other languages, the
focus should be on Central American Spanish. We welcome analyses from
different theoretical frameworks and/or approaches. 

Abstracts:

Abstracts, written in English, should be no more than 250 words and should be
submitted to the first editor, Brandon Baird, by Oct 31, 2020. 

Important Dates:

Oct 31, 2020: Abstract submission deadline
Nov 15, 2020: Notification of abstract decision
Dec 1, 2020: Full proposal sent to publisher
Jun 1, 2021: Full chapter submission

Should any questions arise, please feel free to contact any of the volume’s
editors: Brandon Baird (bbaird at middlebury.edu), Osmer Balam
(obalam at wooster.edu), or Maria del Carmen Parafita Couto
