Meeting Description: 

The Workshop on Immigrant Languages in the Americas is an annual conference
focused on heritage language research. WILA began in 2010 as a conference on
''Investigating Immigrant Languages in America'' at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison. Since then, its host university has alternated between the
United States and abroad.

In the aftermath of immigration, new generations often speak “heritage
languages”, a notion Rothman (2009) defines in this way: “A language qualifies
as a heritage language if it is a language spoken at home or otherwise readily
available to young children, and crucially this language is not a dominant
language of the larger (national) society”. Heritage languages have only
recently become a major topic of interest among linguists, explored for their
implications for linguistic theory, especially in terms of acquisition,
attrition, and change. This workshop aims to promote discussion of heritage
languages in the Americas across different language, subfields, and
theoretical persuasions.
 

Call for Papers: 

We invite abstracts for 30-minute presentations (20 minutes + 10 minutes for
questions), electronic posters, and traditional posters on any aspect of the
linguistics of heritage languages in the Americas (e.g., structural,
generative, historical, sociolinguistic, or experimental). Abstracts should be
no more than one page in length, but may include a second page with diagrams,
charts, and references.

Abstracts can be submitted via:
https://linguistlist.org/confservices/customhome.cfm?Emeetingid=6302JA44587644
4840A050441

Selected papers (following a review process) from the conference will be
published with Cascadilla Press.
