Meeting Description:

This online workshop will bring together scholars with expertise in Romance
morphosyntactic variation, working at different interfaces (generative,
sociolinguistics, dialectology, and language contact), alongside scholars and
stakeholders working on language ideologies, language policy/planning and
language documentation.

The purpose of the online workshop is to draw together interdisciplinary
perspectives towards Romance grammatical variation in the context of
migration, multilingualism, contact, language oppression and/or other social
and material contextual factors in relation to Romance linguistic communities
and/or their language practices.

We are particularly interested in receiving contributions which draw together,
or offer comparative or interdisciplinary perspectives on, questions of
morphosyntactic variation, language contact and language ideologies in
relation to non-standard(ized), contested, oppressed or minoritized Romance or
Romance-related varieties.

The workshop, which forms part of the project The Grammar of Judeo-Spanish
(British Academy/Leverhulme Trust grant no. SRG1819\191358), will comprise
general sessions as well a day dedicated to research on Judeo-Spanish and
associated varieties of Romance (including but not limited to Judeo-Romance,
Balkan Romance and non-territorial Romance varieties).


Call for Papers: 

We invite abstracts for 20-minute presentations on any aspect of Romance
grammatical variation in the context of migration, multilingualism, contact,
language oppression and/or other social and material contextual factors in
relation to Romance linguistic communities and/or their language practices.
