Subject: 2nd Call for Papers: Linguistic Purism in the Germania

Final CALL FOR PAPERS
Linguistic Purism in the Germanic Languages
University of Bristol, UK, 9-11 April 2003
Supported by the Linguistics Association of Great Britain (LAGB)

Deadline for abstracts: June 1st, 2002

Guest Speakers:
James Milroy            University of Michigan
Klaus Mattheier         University of Heidelberg
Oskar Reichmann         University of Heidelberg
Nancy Niedzielski       Rice University, Houston
Dieter Stein            University of Düsseldorf

Studies on linguistic purism commonly concentrate on one particular
aspect of the field, be it a specific language, region or type of
purism. Little research has attempted to provide a more unified account
of purism, combining description of the phenomena with an explanation
of why purism comes / came about.  In this conference we want to bring
together scholars from a broad range of areas in order to initiate a
dialogue between different aspects, fields and theoretical models. The
aim is to provide a platform where a wide range of accounts of and
approaches to puristic ideas can be discussed in order to detect common
patterns across languages, periods, regions and types.

Papers (25-30 minutes) are invited on any of the following fields:
· Folk Linguistics
· Attitudes towards and perceptions of dialects and minority languages
· Standardization of Germanic languages
· Stigmatization of non-standard varieties
· History of puristic ideas
· Modern purism by institutions or individuals
