Meeting Description:

''Language Contact through Time and Space'' (CoTiSp) is an international and
interdisciplinary conference focusing on the processes and outcomes of contact
between people(s) and languages. The conference aims at bringing together
scholars working on different languages with the goal of stressing both
general phenomena of language contact as well as specific features in a
comparative approach.

Insights from diachronic and synchronic language contact research have
essential linguistic and societal implications, particularly considering
current global migration streams. The contributions to the conference will
thus especially focus on past and present contact scenarios between languages
of unbalanced political and symbolic power. We are particularly interested in
language contact settings involving Romance languages, Semitic languages, and
English(es).

The conference will be followed up by a publication of the talks in the form
of an edited collection.


Call for Papers:

Convenors: Katrin Pfadenhauer, Sofia Rüdiger, Valentina Serreli

Conference Website: https://sites.google.com/view/cotisp2020/cotisp

Contact: cotisp at uni-bayreuth.de

We welcome contributions on phenomena of language contact between and with
Romance languages, Semitic languages, and English(es) addressing:

- the linguistic and sociolinguistic outcomes including contact-induced
language change
- the diachronic development of language contact scenarios and the ensuing
(linguistic) effects
- language acquisition (L1/L2/LX) in multilingual settings 
- the linguistic and sociolinguistic dimensions of codeswitching 
- creole studies from a diachronic or synchronic perspective
- language contact and asymmetrical power relations in multilingual and/or
creole communities 
- language contact phenomena and their societal implications 
- migration and language contact
- …any other issues related to the general topic of the conference (temporal
and spatial aspects of language contact and change).

The conference is funded by the WiN Bayreuth grant scheme and we are thus able
to contribute to the travel and accommodation costs of all participants with
an accepted presentation.

Abstract Submission Guidelines

We invite the submission of abstracts for full papers (30 minutes presentation
+ 15 minutes Q&A) on topics that include, but are not limited to, the issues
mentioned in the description above. Abstracts of 400-500 words, excluding
references, should be submitted in pdf-format by email to
cotisp at uni-bayreuth.de. The deadline for abstract submission is October 31,
2019. 

Notification of acceptance will be sent out before the end of December, 2019.
