Meeting Description:

The Conference/Workshop aims to document the effects and the impacts of the
Portuguese culture and language on the world defined by the formal and
informal spaces of the empire. The congress intends to examine the knowledge
of the world from the Modern Age up until the 20th century, both in textual
(reports, dictionaries, grammars, etc.) and non-textual (variety of languages
of oral transmission) forms. By studying and analysing the dissemination of
Portuguese, both from a synchronic and a diachronic perspective, as well as
the historical reconstruction of the trajectories of the expansion of the
language, the congress also intends to debate in what way the study of the
past may help to better interpret the present, characterised by the new
dynamics of circulation of individuals and groups.  

A detailed programme will be displayed after December 16, 2016 at
http://efilp-2017.wixsite.com/efilp-2017.

The conference/Workshop has been organised by DISTU Department of the
University of Tuscia in collaboration with Centro de História d'Aquém e
d'Além-Mar (CHAM) and Centro de Linguística da Universidade Nova de Lisboa
(CLUL).  

Call for Papers:

The companion language of the empire? Formal and Informal spaces of the
Portuguese language (16th-20th cent.) / A língua companheira do império?
Espaços formais e informais da língua portuguesa (sécs. XVI a XX) (efilp-2017)
will take place at the University of  Tuscia, DISTU Department, Italy, on
February 2-3, 2017. 

We would like to invite the submission of abstracts for efilp-2017.

We would welcome any historical, anthropological, literal and linguistic
research concerning the dynamics of the expansion of the Portuguese language
and culture around the world from the Modern Era to the 20th century.

Aiming to document the effects and the impacts of Portuguese culture and
language on the world defined by the formal and informal spaces of the empire,
the congress intends to examine the knowledge of the world from the Modern Age
up until the 20th century, both in textual (reports, dictionaries, grammars,
etc.) and non-textual (variety of languages of oral transmission) forms. By
studying and analysing the dissemination of Portuguese, both from a synchronic
and a diachronic perspective, as well as the historical reconstruction of the
trajectories of the expansion of the language, the congress also intends to
debate on the way the study of the past may help to better interpret the
present, characterised by the new dynamics of the circulation of individuals
and groups.

Considering the multidisciplinary nature of this meeting, we encourage the
submission of abstracts concerning the historical, social, cultural and
linguistic effects derived from the interaction between Portuguese and the
rest of the world starting from the Modern Era onwards.

- Anthropological studies

- Corpus and quantitative linguistic studies
- Descriptive studies of the expansion of the Portuguese language
- Historical studies
- Historical linguistics and language change
- Language contact
- Language learning, acquisition, and teaching
- Language policies
- Lexicography
- Missionary Linguistics
- Philology
- Sociolinguistics
- Translation studies

Paper presentations must consist of a 20 minute talk followed by 10 minutes
for questions and discussion. Paper abstracts should be no longer than 500
words, excluding reference lists, to be written in English (recommended) or in
Portuguese. 

Abstracts should be anonymous and should be submitted by November 21, 2016. 

Acceptance of abstracts will be notified no later than December 5, 2016.
