Call Deadline: 30-Sep-2005 

Meeting Description:

This workshop is held as part of the 20th German Conference on Catalan Studies /
20è Col.loqui Germano-Català / 20. Deutscher Katalanistentag, organized by the
Department of Romance Languages of Eberhard-Karls University of Tübingen in
cooperation with the German Association for Catalan Studies / Deutscher
Katalanistenverband e.V. and the Institut Ramon Llull Barcelona. 

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

The workshop is devoted to the question how language planning (on both status
and corpus level), language policy in schools and education, mass media
(traditional and electronic) and other means of spreading standardized language
varieties affect diatopic variation in the case of regional and minority
languages for which the process of standardization is still relatively recent
and where the diffusion of this (comparatively) new standard variety takes place
under the conditions of diglossic competition with another (national or
international) language that in most cases already has an established and
unchallenged standard variety. The workshop will focus on the question whether
dialect convergence and diasystematic dynamism follows the same or different
pathways in the case of minority languages as it does in ''big''
(inter-)national languages, and how this process affects identitarian and
ideological attitudes among the linguistic communities involved. The main focus
will be on Catalan, but studies on other regional languages in Europe (and
elsewhere) including a comparative perspective on Catalan are also welcome.
Papers may be read in German, Catalan, other Romance languages, and English.

Please send an abstract no longer than one A4 page, including your name,
academic affiliation, and address, preferably as ASCII, MS WORD, HTML or PDF
file attached to an e-mail, to the conference convenor at
kabatek at uni-tuebingen.de. Abstract deadline: September 30, 2005.

The conference will be held in Tübingen, a historic town in Southwestern-Germany
with a long academic tradition and which has played an important role in the
development of Catalan studies in Germany. Please refer to the university's
web-site at http://www.uni-tuebingen.de for information on location and access.
Detailed technical information on the conference, registration and fees, on the
scientific and social program, travel and accomodation will be published on the
conference web-site during the summer of 2005.

Workshop organized by Johannes Kabatek (University of Tübingen) and Claus D.
Pusch (University of Freiburg im Breisgau).

For more information, please contact the conference convenor: Prof. Dr. Johannes
Kabatek, Universität Tübingen, Romanisches Seminar, Wilhelmstrasse 50, D-72074
