Meeting Description:

The International Conference on Language Change and Language Contact
in Ibero- and Gallo-Romance aims to be an encounter space between
specialists in diachronic linguistics of Romance languages.
Specifically, we want to discuss linguistic change activated by
language contact or phenomena in which language or dialect contact
have played a relevant role throughout history (Rodríguez Molina 2010;
Fernández-Ordóñez 2011; Romero Cambrón 2014; Bouzouita 2016; Del
Barrio de la Rosa 2016; Garachana 2016, 2018; Moral del Hoyo 2016;
Enrique-Arias 2018; Sentió & Bouzouita 2022; Pineda 2023).

The linguistic phenomena under study will be historical morphosyntax,
including semantic and pragmatic aspects, and discursive traditions
(Kabatek 2005, Winter-Froemel & Octavio de Toledo 2023, Cornillie et
al. 2023), as well as those phenomena that have not received
attention, but are central aspects of grammar and represent marginalia
(Digemanse 2017).

In relation to linguistic change, the contributions of
grammaticalization theories (Hopper & Traugott 1993; Traugott & Dasher
2002; Lehmann 2020) and the novelties of the Diachronic Construction
Grammar (Traugott & Trousdale 2013; Hilpert 2014; Barðdal et al. 2015;
Hilpert et al. 2021) will be the main theoretical framework, although
other theoretical approaches will also be welcome, such as the
Complexity theory (Massip-Bonet, Bel-Enguix & Bastardas 2019). In any
case, we want to focus on linguistic data to encourage dialogue
between specialists, regardless of the theoretical approach.

The topics proposed for this conference are very broad, but we suggest
the following:
-Language contact and dialect variation in the diachronic morphosyntax
of Ibero- and Gallo-Romance languages
-Phenomena that have received little attention in the literature, but
are relevant and that represent marginalia
-Linguistic change and grammaticalization
-Linguistic change, semantics and pragmatics
-Grammaticalization and linguistic contact
-Grammaticalization, lexicalization and idiomaticity
-Grammaticalization and Cognitive Construction Grammar
-Discursive traditions and language (and dialect) contact
-From Latin to Romance varieties
-Time, aspect, modality and evidentiality
-Information structure and linguistic change
-Quantitative methods, linguistic change, and language contact
-Methodological problems in the study of diachrony
-Corpus linguistics in diachrony
-Computational linguistics and linguistic change
-From diachrony to current dialect variation
-Development and constitution of standard languages
-Ibero- and Gallo-Romance languages in contact with other languages.

Invited Speakers
-Manuel Pérez Saldanya, Universitat de València, IIFV
