Meeting Description:

This special meeting on Ecuadorian Spanish is the first initiative of its kind
in Canada, whose aim is to offer a forum to bring together expert linguists
who conduct research on this variety of Spanish in order to share findings,
update our knowledge of this variety and to identify gaps and areas in need of
further research. It is our intention to publish the proceedings from the
symposium in a preliminary book on Ecuadorian Spanish, which will be the
foundation for further research.

The Ecuadorian varieties, especially those spoken in the highland regions have
existed in a long-term contact situation with indigenous languages, in
particular with Quichua, and therefore have been deeply shaped by it. However,
the linguistic landscape of the Spanish of Ecuador is much more complex and
diverse. The varieties spoken in southern, eastern and coastal regions of
Ecuador have been vastly neglected.

The second long-term objective of the symposium is to identify a team of
experts who will lead in the organization of future linguistic data collection
(sociolinguistic interviews) of all the varieties of Ecuadorian Spanish,
according to PRESEEA (Project for the Sociolinguistic Study of Spanish in
America and Spain). This way, our data can be shared with other researchers of
Spanish in America, Spain, and Africa, while ensuring that the data adhere to
a single methodology that will facilitate comparability among all the
varieties of Spanish in the world.
