Meeting Description: 

The Workshop on Immigrant Languages in the Americas is an annual conference
focused on heritage language research, broadly understood. WILA began in 2010
as a conference on ''Investigating Immigrant Languages in America'' at the
University of Wisconsin – Madison. Since then, host universities have
alternated between the United States and Europe. Research on migrant and
heritage languages includes work on bilingual grammars, social correlates of
language, factors that drive language transmission and loss, and historical
and political factors. Since its inception, WILA has stressed that range and
worked to increase cross-linguistic comparisons of all sorts, including
different languages / dialects, different contact settings and different
historical periods up to the present. The theme of WILA13 is comparative
research. Submissions on this theme are especially welcome but work on
heritage languages from other perspectives is likewise welcome. Please read
the description on the conference website for more information. Like at every
WILA, there is no registration fee to attend or present.
