Meeting Description:

Organizers: Potsdam/Berlin research team on German in Namibia
(https://www.uni-potsdam.de/de/dspdg/projekte/namdeutsch)

Contact between speakers of different languages or varieties leads to dynamics
in many respects. This workshop is going to focus on German and other Germanic
languages in multilingual contexts, bringing together two strands that are
motivated by our research on German in Namibia: On the one hand, we invite
contribution focusing on the dynamics of German in contact, i.e., on language
variation and change within German. Topics to be discussed include grammatical
change, the role of norms, normative orientations, and the role of speakers'
attitudes. On the other hand, the workshop aims to integrate this with papers
focusing on the specifics of language contact phenomena when closely related
Germanic languages come into contact. Interesting topics will be, for
instance, how to handle contact phenomena of closely related languages (such
as German in contact with Afrikaans and English in Namibia, given the further
possibility of a Low German substrate), or how to disentangle language
internal and language external factors (such as contact) in the explanation of
innovations.

The workshop will bring together scholars who share a general interest in
language contact phenomena but work in different frameworks, such as
colleagues who are concerned with Sprachinseln, historical
(socio-)linguistics, theoretical approaches to multilingualism et cetera.

Invited speakers:

Dalit Assouline (Haifa)
Hans C. Boas (Austin)
Ana Deumert (Cape Town)
Steffen Höder (Kiel)
Nils Langer (Flensburg)
