Meeting Description:

The conference aims to provide a forum for linguists and anthropologists to
discuss issues concerning small-scale multilingualism (Lüpke 2016, Singer &
Harris 2016), which is typical for pre-colonial societies with small
socio-political groups. The aim of the conference is to develop a set of
parameters for comparing different sociolinguistic settings across the world.
Topics to be covered include the (in)equality of languages (egalitarian
language ecology is usually considered to be a feature of areas with high
linguistic diversity), linguistic ideologies, marriage patterns as they are
related to the spread of L2s, the sources of second language acquisition, the
domains where languages are used, the existence of lingua francas in the
context of small-scale societies, and methods for studying multilingual
patterns of the past.

Invited Speakers:

Friederike Lüpke (SOAS, London)
Nicholas Evans (ANU, Canberra)

Adjacent workshop:

Note that there will be a workshop on ''Noun categorization: from grammar to
communicative interaction'' taking place at DDL on 18-19 April, i.e.
immediately adjacent to this workshop.
