Linguistic Field(s): Typology 

Language Family(ies): Creole; Pidgin 

Call Deadline: 30-Apr-2010 

Meeting Description:

This conference has three goals: (i) To discuss some results from database of
the APiCS (Atlas of Pidgin and Creole Language Structures) project in advance of
publication (scheduled for 2011/2012), (ii) to present this project to
interested linguists who are not participants of the project, and (iii) more
generally, to discuss the properties of creole and pidgin languages against a
typological background. 

Call for Papers

We invite one-page abstracts for 30-minute papers on the structural properties
of pidgin, creole and mixed languages, seen against the background of world-wide
linguistic diversity. Typology has shown an increasing interest in language
contact and areal effects (see, e.g., WALS.info), so that creole and pidgin
linguistics now finds it easier to make use of typological findings. 

Invited Speakers
- Tania Kuteva (Universität Düsseldorf/SOAS London)
- John McWhorter (Manhattan Institute, New York)
- Benedikt Szmrecsanyi (Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies) 

Please send your anonymous abstract in PDF format to Claudia Schmidt
(cschmidt at eva.mpg.de), giving your contact information only in the e-mail. The
deadline for abstract submission is 30 April 2010, and notification of
acceptance is in mid-May.
