Meeting Description:

The 9th international Germanic Sandwich workshop - on the contrastive
study of Dutch, English and German - will be hosted by the Department
of Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University on 11-12
April 2024.

Consistent with its geographical intermediate location, Dutch has been
argued to occupy a linguistic position in between German and English.
The case for this relationship was first made in a detailed way by the
Dutch linguist C.B. van Haeringen in 1956 and has been the subject of
a now well-established series of Germanic Sandwich workshops.

Like the previous editions in Berlin (2005), Sheffield (2008),
Oldenburg (2010), Leuven (2013), Nottingham (2015), Munster (2017),
Amsterdam (2019) and Cologne (2022), the 9th Germanic Sandwich
workshop in Lancaster will be dedicated to contrastive research on
various aspects of the neighbors and close relatives that Dutch,
English and German are.

The workshop welcomes studies of (dis)similarities between these three
languages from a synchronic and/or a diachronic perspective and
covering domains such as phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics
and/or pragmatics. It is also open to contrastive work dealing with -
among other things - psycholinguistics and language acquisition and to
comparisons with other (West) Germanic languages like Afrikaans and
Frisian.

Final Call for Papers:

The Dutch linguist C.B. van Haeringen showed in his 1956 monograph
"Nederlands tussen Duits en Engels" that, consistent with its
geographical intermediate location, Dutch occupies a middle position
between English and German in quite a systematic way as far as its
linguistic structure is concerned.  Van Haeringen's take on this
"Germanic Sandwich" centered on how Dutch has become more analytical
over time but later research, especially since the first workshop
commemorating his book in 2005, has broadened the scope substantially
- covering a wider range of linguistic phenomena and examining other
potential explanations (e.g. of a sociolinguistic or psycholinguistic
nature). The initial Germanic Sandwich workshop in Berlin has seen
seven further editions in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and the
United Kingdom and the next meeting will take place in Lancaster on
11-12 April 2024.

We invite abstracts for 20-minute talks (+ 10 minutes for discussion)
in which Dutch is compared to German and/or English (other Germanic
languages may obviously be included too). We welcome studies with a
comparative and/or typological approach, focusing on structural and/or
variational aspects of these languages from a synchronic and/or
diachronic perspective and are also open to research dealing with
language acquisition and/or taking a psycholinguistic point of view.
We especially encourage young scholars to submit their abstracts, in
order to achieve a good balance between experienced and new
researchers.

Abstracts should be written in one of the three conference languages
(English, Dutch, German). They must be anonymous and no longer than
500 words (including examples, tables and figures but excluding
references). They should be sent, as a pdf, by Friday 1 December 2023
to germanicsandwich9 at lancaster.ac.uk.
