Workshop convenor: 
Dr. Anabella-Gloria Niculescu-Gorpin, The Iorgu Iordan – Alexandru Rosetti
Institute & the University of Bucharest

Workshop Description:

With English turning into the first global language (Crystal 2003), the
influence of English on various languages has been the topic of numerous
studies in all subfields of linguistics and related fields over the last
decades: Otheguy and Zentella (2012) discuss Spanish use of personal pronouns
and more complex phenomena triggered by Spanish/English bilingualism in New
York; Konieczna (2012), Jaworski (2014) focus on word formation and other
morphological aspects of Polish, Vakareliyska & Kapatsinski (2014) focus on
Bulgarian, Veisbergs (2006) on Latvian and Saugera (2017) on particular aspect
of French, whereas Niculescu-Gorpin and Vasileanu (2018) discuss
experimentally the processing of luxury Anglicisms, to name just a few.
However, the topic is far from being exhausted as the influence is on-going
and it is generating significant language change phenomena.

The workshop aims to bring together researchers whose research focuses on the
current transformation languages undergo due to immediate or mediated contact
with English and on the diachronic, synchronic and/or interdisciplinary study
of Anglicisms, lexical or other. Therefore we encourage any contribution, be
it descriptive or multidisciplinary, normative or experimental that discusses
the complex and multifaceted influence of English on various languages and
develops new insights on the phenomenon.

The main objective of the workshop is to offer a complex overview of
Anglicisms and the influence of English, and of the variety of research
methods that can be used in understanding the way in which today’s languages
are changing due to that influence. We particularly welcome submissions
offering an explicit and substantial theoretical, applied or experimental
contribution to the issue at hand.
 
We have listed below the topics that the workshop can focus on, but we are
open to other approaches or perspectives that may be relevant to the study of
the English influence and of Anglicisms:

- speakers’ attitudes towards using the mother tongue vs. the English
language;
- experimental approach to the English influence, to Anglicisms etc.;
- bilingualism, multilingualism and the English influence; 
- (possible) psycho- and socio-linguistic explanations for language change
phenomena triggered by the English influence;
- lexical Anglicisms: diachronic, synchronic, normative and/or descriptive
studies;
- English discourse markers borrowed in other languages and their behaviour;
- code-switching or mixed languages;
- ‘luxury’ vs. ‘necessary’ Anglicisms;
- the English influence, Anglicisms and corpus analysis;
- national language policies and local reactions to the English influence;
- lexical, morpho-syntactic and other changes due to the influence of English,
and their study (any approach).

After the conference, the papers contributed to the workshop will be published
in a collective volume.
