Call for Papers:
Language contact is omnipresent, extensive, constant; it has
far-reaching social, political and
linguistic effects. Language contact is a norm, not an exception
(Sarah Thomason 2001).
Language contact, its outcomes and the diffusion of the cultures of
the speech
communities in contact have received much scholarly attention since
the late 19th century (e.g.
Whitney 1881). Traditionally, the focus has been on a quantitative and
lexicographic
documentation of contact-induced phenomena, facilitated recently by
technological advances,
word-processing tools and large electronic corpora that make the
examination of large bodies
of authentic data possible and that guarantee sociolinguistic
variation. Recently developed
theoretical frameworks in contact linguistics, drawing on
late-20th-century developments in the
fields of pragmatics, sociolinguistics, cognitive linguistics, corpus
linguistics and psychology,
have been a welcome shift. They advocate mind- and concept-oriented
research on the
outcomes of language contact, which allows to investigate those areas
that were previously
underresearched or neglected. Little attention has been paid to the
perception and evaluation of
language contact outcomes by recipient language (RL) speakers or to
the semantics and
pragmatics of contact-induced phenomena that occur at the
post-borrowing stage and are related
to the RL speakers’ creative use of language. Studying contact
phenomena from a cognitive
perspective coupled with a functional usage-based methodology offers
new research
possibilities and likely sheds light on the RL speakers’ lexical
choices in real-life
communication. Borrowing seen as a word-finding process or a naming
strategy calls for
onomasiologically-oriented research that acknowledges the RL speakers’
active role in the
borrowing and integration processes as a response to their
communicative needs.
We welcome papers that look for the interrelation between two or more
of the following:
the RL speakers’ cognitive abilities, the contact-induced need to name
non-lexicalized concepts
or rename familiar concepts, speakers’ pragmatic needs in authentic
communicative acts,
speakers’/translators’ motivations for choosing particular linguistic
means, social and
idiosyncratic (synchronic) uses of contact phenomena, code switching
and code mixing,
cultural influences, social history, language variation and
(diachronic) language change.
The term “language” in “language contact” is understood broadly to
include natural,
invented, national, standard and regional languages, creoles,
dialects, language varieties,
specialized languages, sociolects, professiolects, ethnolects,
idiolects, bilingual mixed
languages, non-standard uses, sign languages and other forms of human
communication. We
welcome various research methodologies ranging from corpus linguistics
and digital
humanities across usage-based approaches, survey-based, experimental
set-ups, thematic and
content analysis, eye-tracking, keystroke logging, mixed methodology
and other.
The conference theme allows for a broad range of topics, including but
not limited to:
- Language contact as a cognitive process
- Contact-induced language change through the prism of cognitive
linguistics
- Metaphors as contact phenomena
- Cultural models in contact
- Bilingualism, multilingualism and cognition
- Bilingualism and association overlapping
- Code-switching, code alternation and code-mixing in a cognitive
perspective
- Contact-induced language variation, formal variance, semantic
change, pragmatic
borrowing
- Perception and evaluation of contact-induced innovations
- RL speakers’ motivations behind the use of contact-induced phenomena
- Translation as language contact and intercultural communication
- Cognitive imagery across languages
- Construction grammar and language contact
- Contact-induced language change, language attrition and death
- Stable and unstable language contact
