Meeting Description:

Language contact has been attracting more and more attention in recent years.
It has been shown in numerous instances that contact between different speech
communities has a profound impact on not only on the vocabulary, but also on
all levels of grammar. This workshop focuses on changes that occur in case
systems under the influence of language contact, and all phenomena broadly
connected to this process. Contributions that deal with individual instances
of such changes in any language are welcome, as well as more theory-oriented
papers dealing with such phenomena in general. 
The workshop will take place at Charles University in Prague on 3rd June 2022.
It be organized as a hybrid event (both in person and online).

Organized by:
Prague Descriptive Linguistics
Charles University, Palacký University Olomouc

papers dealing with such phenomena in general. 
The workshop will be organized as a hybrid event (both in person and online).

Research questions (for inspiration):
Under what conditions does language contact cause greater richness of a case
system, rather than its deterioration?
What features tend to be influenced by contact more/less easily than others?
Why do cases vanish/appear?
What are the mechanisms of semantic extension of cases in language contact?

Individual presentation length: 20 min, additional 10 min for discussion
