Meeting Description:

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.


Call for Papers:

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?

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.

Time for talks: 20 min presentation, 10 min discussion
