Meeting Description:

The Societas Linguistica Europaea (SLE) and Université Bordeaux
Montaigne are pleased to announce the 58th Annual Meeting of the
Societas Linguistica Europaea (SLE 2025), to be held in Bordeaux from
26 to 29 August 2025.

SLE meetings provide a forum for high-quality linguistic research from
all (sub)domains of linguistics.

Call for Papers:

This workshop will create a forum of discussion for scholars working
on minoritised and/or under-researched Romance varieties and their
diachrony. Its overarching goal will be to inform diachronic accounts
of the Romance family with languages and varieties that are often
ignored in comparative studies, therefore revising the methodologies
and theories used to approach these varieties to integrate them in the
forefront of the Romance diachrony debate.

The aim of the workshop is to explore diachronic change in minoritised
varieties from all possible perspectives, from methodological matters
to theoretical ones, and case studies. We invite abstracts engaging
with the following research questions and related issues:

1. What are the similarities and differences in the way language
changes between minoritised/under-researched varieties and
non-minoritised varieties?
2. To what extent does the lack of homogenisation/standardisation
influence change?
3. How do current methodological and theoretical advances allow us to
approach language
change in minoritised/under-researched varieties? What improvements
are needed?
4. To what extent does language contact between
minoritised/under-researched varieties
and non-minoritised varieties influence change?
5. How does research on minoritised/under-researched varieties
complete our
understanding of language change in Romance?
6. Periodisation: should we use historical labels for modern
varieties? How should
diachronic changes in linguistic structure be reflected in the
terminology and
classification of minoritised varieties? (i.e., Gascon/Occitan).
7. Should non-standard varieties (i.e., sociolects, etc.) of standard
Romance languages be
considered under-researched and/or minoritised? Where to draw the
line?

- deadline for abstracts: 15 January 2025
- notification of acceptance/rejection: 31 March 2025

Abstracts should clearly state the research questions, approach,
method, data and (expected) results. They should not contain the names
of the presenters, nor their affiliations or addresses, or any other
information that could reveal their authorship. They should not exceed
500 words (including examples, excluding references).
