Meeting Description: 

The conference brings together specialists of extra-European language   contact
constellations with a Romance language as donor language and  an autochthonous
language of Africa, Asia, Oceania or the Americas as  recipient language. For
the first time ever, overt and covert grammatical   and lexical borrowing from
Romance languages is viewed from a strictly  comparative perspective in order to
facilitate generalisations. In addition  to the various case studies, a number
of theoretical approaches to  language contact phenomena in general are
presented too and thus  it is made possible to go beyond the role played by
French, Italian,  Spanish and/or Portuguese in the re-shaping of lexicon and
grammar  of languages outside Europe.
