>From Migrant to Heritage Languages: Transgenerational Language Change
in Diasporic Communities (special issue)

Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on language evolution in migrant diasporic
communities across generations. Although migrant vs heritage languages
have been intensively described during the last few decades, this
research topic has been studied in detail. This Special Issue plans to
fill this gap. The continuum of migrant vs heritage languages is a
well-represented social and linguistic phenomenon worldwide, cf.
Russian, Polish, Turkish, and Arabic in Germany, Spanish, Russian, and
Chinese in the USA, and a multifaceted tapestry of migrant languages
in Israel. Thereby, this diasporic continuum represents diverse
contact combinations of typologically different languages that undergo
transgenerational evolution. Within the proposed Special Issue, we aim
to discuss transgenerational language shifts and changes in migrant vs
heritage languages across the world. In addition, we want to address
the processes of migrant languages’ evolution in a broader context of
contact-induced language change (e.g., minority languages, historical
dialects, pidgins and creoles). Thereby, we aspire to bridge the gap
between different theoretical frameworks dealing with language change
in multilingual settings, e.g., linguistic typology, studies on pidgin
and creole languages, and theory of language evolution in general.
Furthermore, we want to contribute to the (hardly represented)
comparative research of migrant vs heritage languages.
We request, prior to submitting a manuscript, that the interested
authors first submit a proposed title and an abstract of 250–300 words
summarizing their intended contribution. Please send it to the Guest
Editors, Dr. Vladislava Warditz (vwarditz at uni-koeln.de), Prof. Dr.
Bernd Heine (bernd.heine at uni-koeln.de), and Prof. Dr. Paul Widmer
(paul.widmer at uzh.ch) before 20 November 2024. Abstracts will be
reviewed by the Guest Editors for the purpose of ensuring their proper
fit within the purview of the Special Issue. Notification of abstract
acceptance will be given by 30 November 2024. Full manuscripts will
undergo double-blind peer review.
