Meeting Description:

Date: November 20‒21, 2020
Organizers: Faculty of Letters, University of Bucharest

This workshop will be held as part of the twentieth Conference of the
Department of Linguistics of the University of Bucharest. 

The workshop is intended to foster a deeper understanding of the
standardization process and linguistic variable norm(s), by comparing similar
cases in different languages and cultures, in a sociolinguistic framework.
Standardization will be considered in its relationship with language
evaluation, ideologies, purism and folk linguistics. Special attention will be
paid to norm variability and the effects of implicit or explicit norms on
language change.

The workshop aims to find answers to the following queries: 
- Are there more convergences or more differences in the standardization
processes, both in diachrony and in the contemporary state of national
languages?
- Is there a general tendency of relaxing norms and accepting register
hybridization? What is the balance between power and weakness of regulatory
institutions, and between norm acceptance and norm criticism?
- Is there a specific online metadiscourse on language norm(s)? 
- Which are the similar constructions differently standardized in various
languages and how are they standardized (e.g. agreement in number and gender
for coordinated, partitive, collective expressions; “agreement” of adverbs and
invariability of adjectives; clitic doubling; negative concord; feminization
of profession nouns, etc.)?
- What effects does the standardization of one level of language have on other
levels (e.g. writing norms on pronunciation)? How similar are languages in
this respect? 

The workshop will be held online using Google Meet platform. A few days before
the event, participants will receive the meeting link to join the workshop. 

No registration fee is applied.


Call for Papers: 

Papers may focus on a particular language, investigated either synchronically

The workshop languages are Romanian, English and French.

Abstracts, no longer than 500 words (references excluded), in Times New Roman,
size 12, will be sent by attachment to:  carmen.vasile at unibuc.ro (Carmen
Mîrzea Vasile), isabela.nedelcu at unibuc.ro (Isabela Nedelcu),
