Meeting Description:

This international seminar on creoles, pidgins and other outcomes of 
language contact, is aimed at junior researchers to share ideas and to 
discuss and debate current issues in contact linguistics. The seminar is 
especially intended for junior researchers (MA and PhD) working on 
pidgins, creoles, intertwined languages and other outcomes of language 
contact. There will be several senior researchers present, not only to 
lecture on their own research, but also to give feedback to the junior 
researchers' presentations and to moderate sessions with their expertise.

Peter Bakker - Aarhus University
Enoch Aboh - University of Amsterdam
Maarten Mous - Leiden University
Norval Smith - University of Amsterdam
Pieter Muysken - Radboud University

Presentations on any contact languages are welcome. However, 
presentations on the languages of the Guyanas (Guyana, French Guiana 
and Suriname) are especially encouraged. A portion of the seminar will be 
dedicated to language contact in the Guyanas, past and present. 

Lodging and meal's will be partially covered, however a small contribution 
will be asked of the participants, the amount of which will be determined based 
on the final number of participants.
