Summer School in Languages and Linguistics of the Mediterranean

Host Institution: University of Cagliari
Website: https://llm.unica.it/

Dates: 03-Jun-2024 - 07-Jun-2024
Location: Cagliari, Sardinia

Focus: The school’s main aim is to promote research into the languages
of the Mediterranean and the contact-induced phenomena which, in the
course of very long-lasting traditions, arose and continue to arise in
many cases. Studies are carried out from both a synchronic and
diachronic perspective and this edition focuses on the Latin-Romance
tradition.
Minimum Education Level: BA

Description:
The second Summer School in Languages and Linguistics of the
Mediterranean will be held in Cagliari (Italy) from 3 to 7 June 2024.
Paraphrasing what has been said for other disciplines, there are
plenty of important studies on languages in the Mediterranean, but
there are very few which are actually about Mediterranean languages.
The LLM School aims to fill the need to use an empirical approach to
examine the product of thousands of years of language contact in this
unique geo-anthropic context and to analyse these results from a
'holistic' but anti-essentialist perspective which does not adhere to
any preconstituted theory.

The linguistics courses offer a comprehensive overview of studies on
the languages of the Mediterranean. Various theoretical approaches
will be proposed to deal with the problems of language contact,
especially in the historical and diachronic dimension. Indeed, partly
because the spread of writing in the Mediterranean region dates back
to extremely ancient times, the region offers an extremely rich and
extensive linguistic tradition, which is both long-lasting and
genetically differentiated. Therefore, the Mediterranean is a
privileged observatory for historical-diachronic studies of relatively
long periods. On this occasion, the focus will be placed on the Latin
Romance linguistic tradition.

Two broad thematic lines will be developed in this edition. The first
is dedicated to the analysis of linguistic varieties from a structural
and functional point of view; the second line is dedicated to the
analysis of socio- and pragma-linguistic dynamics in a historical
perspective. Specific attention will be dedicated to the genesis of
Romance languages, in the specific context of so-called Mediterranean
Romania, and to the progressive definition of the 'normed' varieties
in their relationship with writing during the various phases of the
Middle Ages.
