CALL FOR PAPERS
Linguistic Purism in the Germanic Languages
University of Bristol, UK
9-11 April 2003

Studies on linguistic purism commonly concentrate on one particular
aspect of the field, be it a specific language, region or type of
purism. Little research has attempted to provide a more unified account
of purism, combining description of the phenomena with an explanation
of why purism comes / came about.  In this conference we want to bring
together scholars from a broad range of areas in order to initiate a
dialogue between different aspects, fields and theoretical models. The
aim is to provide a platform where a wide range of accounts of and
approaches to puristic ideas can be discussed in order to detect common
patterns across languages, periods, regions and types.

Guest Speakers:
James Milroy    University of Michigan
Klaus Mattheier         University of Heidelberg
Oskar Reichmann         University of Heidelberg
Nancy Niedzielski       Rice University, Houston
Dieter Stein            University of Düsseldorf

Papers (25-30 minutes) are invited on any of the following fields:

Folk Linguistics
Attitudes towards and perceptions of dialects and minority languages
Standardization of Germanic languages
Stigmatization of non-standard varieties
History of puristic ideas
Modern purism by institutions or individuals
