Meeting Description:

Theme: Language contact and change in an interconnected world

Linguistics, Newcastle University
• Dr Joseph Gafaranga - School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language
Sciences, the University of Edinburgh
• Dr Hannah Gibson – Department of Linguistics, University of Essex

Advances in modern transportation systems, communication technology and
increase in migration has meant that speakers of different languages interact
closely, hence it is typical for their languages to influence each other. The
influence could be as common as the exchange of words or it can extend to the
exchange of even basic characteristics of a language such as phonology,
morphology and syntax. In some cases, the result of the contact of two or more
languages can be the replacement of one by the other or the emergence of new
varieties. 

In light of these developments, and the presumed increasing contact between
various languages in our interconnected world, the conference invites papers
that reflect on these issues.

Topics may include, but are not limited to, bilingualism, multilingualism and
translanguaging; syntax; phonetics and phonology; morphology; first and second
