<p>Chers collègues,<br><br>Veuillez trouver ci-dessous (ainsi qu'en pièce jointe) l'appel à communication de la 38ème conférence annuelle du département de linguistique de UC Berkeley (Berkeley Linguistics Society 38), qui se tiendra les 11 et 12 février 2012.<br>
<br>Cordialement,<br><br>BLS 38 Executive Planning Committee<br>
<br>--------------<br><br><h1>The 38th Annual Meeting of the Berkeley Linguistics Society</h1>
<h1>11-12 February 2012<br></h1><h1>Call for Papers</h1>
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.
<p><b>THEMATIC SESSION: LANGUAGE CONTACT</b></p>
<p> 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? </p>

<p>GENERAL SESSION</p>
<p>The General Session will cover all areas of linguistic research. We
welcome proposals from diverse theoretical frameworks as well as papers
on language-related topics from other disciplines (e.g., cognitive
science, psychology, neuroscience, computer science, anthropology,
literature, areal studies). </p>
