The 38th Annual Meeting of the Berkeley Linguistics Society 11-12 February
2012
Call for Papers The 38th annual meeting of the Berkeley Linguistics Society
will be held at the University of California, Berkeley on FEBRUARY 11-12,
2012. The meeting will comprise a Thematic Session, and a General Session.
Invited speakers are listed below.

*THEMATIC SESSION: LANGUAGE CONTACT*

The BLS 38 thematic session invites papers pertaining to all aspects of
language contact, a major phenomenon that concerns all areas of linguistics
and many linguistics-related fields. We are looking for submissions form all
linguistic subfields and all theoretical frameworks: phonetics, phonology,
syntax, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, and
others. We also strongly encourage interdisciplinary work spanning two or
more disciplines, such as anthropology, history, archaeology, geography,
molecular anthropology and genetics. Computational approaches to language
contact are also welcome. A driving question is: how can the
inter-disciplinary study of language contact phenomena contribute to
uncovering key aspects of the history and culture of entire regions and
populations?

proposals from diverse theoretical frameworks as well as papers on
language-related topics from other disciplines (e.g., cognitive science,

studies).
