Meeting Description:

First International Conference on Language Contact and Language Change in Times of Globalization. 

First International Conference on Language Contact in Times of Globalization
University of Groningen, September 28-30, 2006

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

The past decade has witnessed a growing interest in the study of linguistic effects of language contact. Due to rapid globalization and increased migration, people are ever more exposed to other languages, both related and unrelated. The aim of the Groningen conference is to explore the linguistic effects of globalization and migration in societies all over the world. We particularly invite papers adressing the conference theme, but in order to put these issues in a broader historical and theoretical perspective, we also welcome papers on other current issues in the study of language contact and language change. Plenary speakers will be Prof.dr. Pieter Muysken (Radboud University Nijmegen), Dr. Ricardo Otheguy (City University of New York) and Prof.dr. Kurt Braunmüller, (Universität Hamburg).
