Indigenous Languages in Contact 
     
Despite extensive research on the mutual influences between colonial and
'colonized' languages, there has been scant scholarly attention to
post-colonial contact among indigenous languages themselves. While
indigenous languages have interacted for centuries, more recent
developments--such as increasing urbanization and economic globalization,
the spread of the Internet, massive migration/displacement of indigenous
populations, and the appearance of pan-indigenous political movements--have
given rise to new contexts and channels of inter-group contact among
indigenous language speakers. Specific regional developments, such as the
reservation system in North America and intensified
colonization/development of the Amazon region, have also created new
inter-ethnic spaces where speakers of different indigenous languages may
encounter each other. This special issue will focus on the social causes
and sociolinguistic consequences of such contact. 

Submissions may be in English, Spanish, French or Portuguese, and should be
data-driven rather than purely theoretical or speculative. There are no
restrictions with regard to geographic area of focus, but submissions
should focus on recent or contemporary situations (20th-21stc.), rather
than on earlier historical data. Articles written by (or in collaboration
with) indigenous language speakers are especially encouraged. Book reviews
will also be considered.

Contributors should send an abstract of 150-200 words to aurolyn2 at yahoo.com
by Dec. 15th, 2010. Authors of selected abstracts will be notified by Jan.
15th and invited to send full manuscripts by March 31st, 2011.

    

A pesar de las muchas investigaciones realizadas sobre las influencias
mútuas entre lenguas coloniales y las 'colonizadas,' existe hasta la
fecha poca atención al contacto post-colonial entre diferentes lenguas
indígenas. Por cierto, dichas lenguas han estado en contacto durante
siglos; sin embargo, desarrollos recientes--como la urbanización, la
globalización, la difusión del Internet, la migración y/o el desplazamiento
de poblaciones indígenas, y el surgimiento de movimientos
pan-indígenas--han generado nuevos contextos y vías de contacto entre
hablantes indígenas de distincto orígen. A la vez, fenómenos regionales
específicos, tales como el sistema de reservas indígenas en Norteamerica y
la creciente colonización de la cuenca amazónica, han abierto nuevos
espacios inter-étnicos donde hablantes de varias lenguas indígenas se
encuentran los unos a los otros. Este número de la RISL se enfocará en las
causas sociales así como las consecuencias sociolingüísticas de estos
encuentros. Las contribuciones pueden ser en inglés, español, portugués o
francés, y deben basarse en datos (es decir, se excluyen los trabajos
puramente teóricos o especulativos). Se invitan trabajos de toda región
geográfica; sin embargo, deben enfocarse en situaciones recientes o
actuales (s. 20-21), no históricas. Se dará consideración especial a los
trabajos escritos conjuntamente con hablantes de lenguas indígenas. También
se solicitan reseñas de libros. 

Mande un resumen (con título) de 150-200 palabras a aurolyn2 at yahoo.com
antes del 15 de diciembre de 2010. Autores de los abstractos seleccionados
serán notificados antes del 15 de enero de 2001iciembre. El plazo para
trabajos completos es el 31 de marzo de 2011.
