Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 31-May-2021 

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.

Research on migrant and heritage languages has often incorporated different
approaches to linguistics, including formalist, functionalist, experimental
and social factors driving language loss and language transmission. A
relatively underexplored topic relating to heritage languages is that of
ideology, although ideology clearly plays a major role in heritage languages
at every level. The theme of WILA12 is ideology, and while submissions dealing
with this broad theme are welcome, submissions having to do with heritage
languages from other perspectives are likewise welcome.


Second Call for Papers: 

We invite abstracts for 30-minute presentations (20 minutes + 10 minutes for
questions) and posters on any aspect of the linguistics of heritage languages
in the Americas (e.g., structural, historical, sociolinguistic, or
experimental). Abstracts should be no more than 400 words, but may include
additional information such as diagrams, charts, and references. Abstracts
should be submitted to http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/WILA12.

Selected papers from the conference will be published. There will be a
separate call for papers for the publication.
