Meeting Description:

Invited Speakers:

- John Peterson (University of Kiel)
- Sarah Thomason (University of Michigan)
- Lars Johanson (University of Mainz)

The goal of our workshop is to refine the existing methods for determining the
effects of substratum interference in reconstructed languages and to apply the
available methods to specific case studies of language shift in linguistic
prehistory. We also welcome contributions on recently attested or historically
attested language shift because investigating the extent to which more recent
history can be taken as a model for the remoter past is among our key
objectives.
