Meeting Description:

CROSSLING Symposium: Language Contacts at the Crossroads of Disciplines
University of Eastern Finland, Joensuu
February 28-March 1, 2013

The goal of this symposium is to bring together scholars working on
language contact, cross-linguistic influence or contact-induced change
and variation within different disciplines. The symposium aims to
promote cross-disciplinary and cross-methodological discussion in the
study of language contact and strives for genuine discussion and
cross-pollination between various disciplines and research traditions,
their theories, methods, and data, and between researchers of
different languages.

The invited speakers of the symposium are:

Gaëtanelle Gilquin (Université catholique de Louvain)
Svenja Kranich & Viktor Becher (Universität Hamburg)
Anna Verschik (Tallinna Ülikool)

The participation fee is 50 euros or 30 euros (students and PhD students).

The symposium is organized by CROSSLING, a young cross-disciplinary
research network set up at the University of Eastern Finland. The
network has received funding from the Kone foundation
(http://www.koneensaatio.fi/en/). The researchers of CROSSLING combine
different areas of research which deal with language contact: contact
linguistics, second language acquisition research and translation
studies, and they work with different languages and language pairs.

For all correspondence concerning the symposium, please contact crosslinguef.fi.

Final Call for Papers:

We welcome contributions focusing on language contact, SLA,
translation studies and other possible areas of research and welcome
scholars who wish to acquire novel cross-linguistic, cross-cultural,
cross-disciplinary and cross-methodological impulses for their own
research. We would like to encourage scholars working on different
languages and language pairs to give presentations. The focus may lie
on linguistic data as well as on theoretical issues.

Possible topics for talks include (but are not restricted to) the following:

- Language contact and language attrition
- Multiple causes of language change and variation: interaction
between contact-induced and language-internal developments
- Connections between contact linguistics and SLA
- Receptive multilingualism
- Cross-linguistic influence in heritage language acquisition
- Cross-linguistic influence in translation: evidence from corpora,
process research or history of translation
- Interfaces between translation studies and contact linguistics:
translation as a type of language contact
- Possible parallels and interfaces between learner universals,
language universals and translation universals

The working language of the symposium is English.
