Meeting Description:

The notion of language contact, brought to light by scholars like Weinreich
and Haugen in the early 1950s, embraces a vast range of situations, places and
contexts, making it a complex and articulated subject of remarkable and
consistent interest for study and research.

Interaction between language systems, in terms of multidirectional
interference phenomena, may take place both in individual speakers' idiolects
and the entire linguistic community of a particular geographical territory, by
flowing into possible functional and/or structural variations, operating at
all linguistic levels, in terms of convergence, drift, attrition or loss,
depending on the diachronic (inter-generational processes) or synchronic
(intra-generational) action of the process. The dynamics of present-day global
society expand similar phenomena, because of the extensive contacts between
language systems, also typologically distant, as a result of migratory flows
across the world's countries, including those away from and towards Italy.

What kind of processes and dynamics rule the coexistence of different
varieties in the same time periods and places?
What kind of relations are established between coexisting systems in the
individual and in the group?

The conference aims at stimulating reflection on this theme, encouraging
discussion on the following points:

- variability and influences between L1 and L2/LS in acquisitional and
migratory contexts;
- phenomena of variation in bilingual and multilingual conditions;
- situations of contact between official languages, dialects and minority
languages;
- analysis of the relations between heritage languages and dominant varieties;
- relationships between Italian language and dialects in Italy and abroad;
- influences between L1 and L2/LS in people with Specific Language Impairments
and Learning Disorders;
- technological applications for multilingual speech recognition.

In a multidisciplinary perspective, the conference encourages presentations of
original contributions dealing with all forms of contact-induced variation,
from different points of view: phonetic-phonological, sociolinguistic,
dialectological, psycholinguistic, ethnographical,
communicative-interactional.

Further proposals on any aspect of Speech Science research will be welcome.
