Meeting Description:

Formal Approaches to Creole Studies II

Centre for General Linguistics, Berlin
November 8/9, 2010

Invited speakers:
John Lumsden (UQAM)
Norval Smith (UvA)

This workshop is a follow-up of the successful FACS-Workshop, held at 
CASTL, University of Tromsoe, November 14-15 2008. The goal of the 
workshop is to bring together scholars who share an interest in the formal 
study of creole languages. Highlighting the more formal issues surrounding 
creole formation may help us in furthering our understanding how pidgin 
and creole languages come into being as well as why their grammatical 
properties are the way they are. At the same time, it may foster the 
interaction between theoretical linguists and researchers 'in the field'. We 
therefore invite abstracts that address theoretical and formal aspects in 
Creole Studies, from all the subfields of generative research, syntax, 
semantics, phonology, and morphology.

Please note that after this workshop there will be two related conferences at
the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig of interest 
to creolists:
-  Wednesday Nov 10: Past present and future of Sri Lanka Malay.
-  Nov 11-14: 2nd APICS Conference.

Organisers:
Tonjes Veenstra (ZAS, Berlin)
Marleen van de Vate, University of Tromsø
