Meeting Description:

Languages display continuously changing and coexisting structural strategies
in each of their synchronic stages.  Over the last decades, the traditional
description of individual linguistic features has been complemented by the
application of quantitative methods capable of processing a large amount of
data, whereby it became possible to capture the complex variation present in
every variety. Variation is motivated not only by intra-linguistic factors,
but also by the extra-linguistic environment - demographic, social, political
and geographical. Understanding the interplay of these conditions poses a
major challenge for assessing variation and the dynamics of change. 

The workshop is dedicated to morphosyntactic variation occurring in contact
situations and transitional varieties, between standard and non-standard
idioms, as well as in minority, heritage and endangered languages. The
particular focus is on empirical approaches that use novel and
state-of-the-art tools, resources and methods allowing for insight into the
spread and interaction of features, identifying previously unnoticed
correlations and opening up new prospects for research in linguistic
variation.

We are inviting contributions dealing with variation, in particular concerning
the languages of the Balkans and Southeast Europe, as well as similar contact
situations. Apart from linguistic analyses, we are interested in
well-established and original methodological approaches to different facets of
variation.

The workshop is a part of two projects funded by the SNF, currently running at
the Slavisches Seminar: TraCeBa and Ill-Bread Sons


Call for Papers: 

The workshop comprises oral presentations and a poster session. Individual
papers will be 20 minutes each, followed by a 10-minute discussion. Poster
presentations may be used in particular for the presentation of on-going
projects and work in progress, also in addition to oral presentations. They
will be staged continuously during the workshop. 

Abstract text should not exceed 500 words. Deadline for submission is 30 March
2020. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by 15 April. Please send
your abstracts to teodora.vukovic2 at uzh.ch
