Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics 

Meeting Description: 

In 2020 Denmark and Germany celebrated the 100th anniversary of the current
Danish-German political border, which appeared on the European map as a result
of a referendum held within the border region. This event is known as
“Genforeningen” (“the reunification”) in Danish historiography. Other European
regions were also affected by a shift of political borders in the aftermath of
World War I. These borders have in common that they divided multilingual
territories which are characterized by long-lasting language and dialect
contact. At the same time many European cities have increased their
multilingual character due to immigration, seeing the emergence of new
neighbourhoods, sometimes definable within micro-geographical borders.

With our conference we wish to shed light on the significance of borders for
the contact varieties used in multilingual territory, both in a structural and
a sociolinguistic perspective. We aim to improve our understanding of possible
common and unique features in different contact situations.
