Full Title: Fifth International Conference on Language Contact in Times of Globalization

Date: 23-Sep-2020 - 26-Sep-2020
Location: Klagenfurt, Austria
Contact Person: Alexander Onysko

Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Sociolinguistics
Call Deadline: 31-Jan-2020
Meeting Description:
The notion of language contact captures multi-faceted phenomena and processes
of language use that emerge from the interaction of speakers and their diverse
linguistic repertoires. Dependent on socio-cultural conditions as well as the
type and medium of interaction, manifestations of language contact have been a
constant source of linguistic investigations. In current times of increased
physical and virtual mobility and of dynamically shifting boundaries and
identities, the notion of language contact is faced with concepts such as
fluidity, dynamic systems, transculturality, multilingualism and the break-up
of the one nation - one language ideology. This raises the question of how
language contact as a theoretical notion and as a field of inquiry is able to
capture these current developments.
After 4 inspiring meetings in Groningen (The Netherlands) and Greifswald
(Germany), the 'Fifth International Conference on Language Contact in Times of
Globalization' will be held at the University of Klagenfurt (Austria), locally
organized by the linguistics section of the English Department. As in the
previous meetings, the conference language is English. The programme is open
to contributions from all types of language constellations in which contact
occurs. We warmly invite paper presentations from all areas of interest in
language contact including the full range of socio-cultural and cognitive
perspectives.
A pre-conference workshop of the Global Anglicism Database Network will be
held on September 23.
Klagenfurt, the conference venue, is located in Austria's southernmost region
of Carinthia, which is linguistically characterized by its vicinity to and
interchange with Romance (Italian, Friulian) and Slavic languages, and is home
to autochthonous Slovene speaking communities.
