Meeting Description:

NILCS 2025 is the second edition of this international conference on
language contact after the first one initially planned for May 2020 at
the University of L'Aquila (Italy), then postponed to May 2021 due to
the pandemics, and eventually held online only. NILCS 2021 was a very
stimulating conference, some of the talks have now been collected in
the volume: "Speakers and Structures in Language Contact: Pluralistic
Approaches to Change and Variation", published by the NILCS-team
within the series "Language Contact and Bilingualism" (LCB vol. 31; De
Gruyter), edited by Yaron Matras. Despite the success of NILCS 2021,
we all missed the fruitful discussions that always arise during lunch
breaks and conference-accompanying social and cultural activities.
NILCS 2025 wants to make up for that shortage and bring people
together in one place to enjoy a live and direct experience.
In the spirit of the past NILCS, we aim to bring together researchers
studying any topic in language contact and working on any
contact-related linguistic variety or contact scenario.

The conference is organized by the NILCS-team: Barbara Hans-Bianchi,
Chiara Truppi, Barbara Vogt

Studies on language contact and on any contact-related variety from
any theoretical or methodological perspective are welcome. The
diversity of the participants' perspectives will contribute to
providing multifaceted and novel insights to the field. The conference
language is English.

In particular, we encourage contributions regarding the following
topics:
- description of contact-related phenomena in any area of grammar;
- field research in contemporary contact settings;
- research on contact varieties, such as pidgins, creoles, and mixed
languages;
- construction of linguistic identity/ies in multilingual or
postcolonial scenarios;
- new theoretical modelling of language contact and the related
phenomena;
- studies on contact-related or contact-induced language change;
- diachronic research on language contact settings or scenarios.

We invite abstracts for talks (20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of
discussion) or posters. Each individual may submit a maximum of one
abstract as first author (or sole author), and a maximum of two
abstracts in total.

The abstracts of max. 400 words (references excluded) must be
anonymised to omit all information about the author(s) and submitted
via EasyAbs:  easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/NILCS2025/

Please add also up to 5 keywords.

Abstracts will be blindly peer-reviewed by an international panel of
reviewers.

There will be no fee for participants. We intend to publish selected
papers from the conference.
