Meeting Description:

The 4th Naxos Summer School on Language Variation and Change in Ancient and
Medieval Europe (July 28 – August 3, 2019) [https://lvcnaxos2019.enl.uoa.gr/]
will be organizing a workshop on “Language Change in Indo-European ”, to be
held on July 31, 2019.

Abstracts that approach change in Indo-European languages (from
Proto-Indo-European to daughter languages, or in Indo-European branches) from
any perspective are welcome, including: historical morpho-syntax, historical
phonology, historical pragmatics, historical sociolinguistics.

Workshop Description:

The rich historical data of Indo-European languages offer a stable basis for
the formation and validation of language change theories, and mainly for those
analyzing the direction of change.

The idea of the workshop is to offer our summer schools participants as well
as other scholars interested in a systematic study of change in Indo-European
languages, the opportunity to present their ongoing research or the results of
their studies on change and its directions in the Indo-European family. We
encourage papers of both data- and theory-oriented approaches.

The issues to be addressed in the workshop include the following topics:

(i) new perspectives on phonological or morpho-syntactic reconstruction of
Proto-Indo-European;
(ii) new analyses of long-standing questions that concern, for instance,
gender-animacy-number, diathesis-voice, cases and alignment, finiteness and
non-finiteness, prepositions-postpositions-prefixes in Indo-European;
(iii) new approaches to the study of features (isoglosses) that are shared by
more than one Indo-European branches;
(iv) new methods of analyzing the directions of (phonological/
morpho-syntactic/ lexical/ pragmatic) change in Indo-European;
(v) new trends in computational Indo-European linguistics (and computational
cladistics).

Final Call for Abstracts:

The deadline for abstract submission has been extended to May 10.

Please email your 350-words (excluding references) abstract to Elly van
Gelderen (ellyvangelderen at asu.edu), Alexander Bergs (abergs at uos.de) and
