Meeting Description:

Aims and background: The workshop aims at bringing together various lines of
research in the investigation of the dynamics of asymmetric language contact
and change. Typically, language contact situations are characterized by
variation, competition, and coexistence of linguistic features at different
levels of linguistic analysis and their interfaces. These dynamics become
apparent not only in the linguistic behaviour of bilingual speakers and
signers (code-switching, code-mixing, code-blending, and cross-linguistic
influence), but also in the evolution of spoken and sign languages over time
(language change, emergence of new varieties, mixed languages, pattern
transfer or calque). By approaching the dynamics of language contact from
different theoretical perspectives, we aim to contribute to a better
understanding of the outcomes of language contact. Our focus will be on
contact phenomena at the syntactic level.

Possible topics: Issues that will be addressed include but are not limited to:

- What do we know about the interplay of internal and external factors
affecting the outcomes of language contact?
- Does lexical borrowing open a door to structural borrowing under specific
circumstances?
- What factors contribute to the diffusion of or resistance to the importation
of structural features?
- How do we distinguish between variation and change?
- How do traditional linguistic theories cope with the dynamics of language
contact?
- What do dynamic models contribute to our understanding of language contact
and change?
- Are borrowing hierarchies universal or conditioned by the languages
involved?
- What is the scope and what are the limits of syntactic creativity in
asymmetric language contact?

Potentially interested: We particularly encourage submissions addressing these
topics from different theoretical frameworks, methodological approaches, and
subfields of linguistics, including but not limited to formal linguistics,
typology, areal linguistics, sign language linguistics, historical
linguistics, bilingualism research, contact linguistics, and postcolonial
linguistics.

Invited speakers:

- Victoria Nyst (Leiden)
- Heike Wiese (Humboldt, Berlin)

Time for talks: 20 min presentation, 10 min discussion
