Meeting Description:

Language Endangerment: Language Contact and the Community

Call for Papers:

Languages become endangered where their speakers are in contact with
other speech varieties which are considered to carry greater social
prestige. Research in this area has revealed these situations often
bring about linguistic changes in the structure of one or more of
these varieties. This conference invites papers that reflect on these
issues: How are the structures of an endangered language affected by
contact? Are there particular kinds of variation and change that are
more likely to occur in endangered languages? What kind of structural
innovations might new speakers introduce in contexts of revitalization
and how should these be incorporated in the documentation of these
varieties? What methodological approaches are appropriate for the
investigation of variation in contact-induced language change in
endangered varieties? What are the attitudes of speakers towards
variation and change in speech communities where a language is
endangered, and do those attitudes have any bearing on language
practices?

Abstracts (200 words maximum) to be submitted via email to the
organisers by 10 April 2025. Please include in the abstract document
your name and your affiliation as you would like to see them in the
programme.

We regret that we cannot offer the possibility of virtual
