*The role of conscious effort in language contact*

Language change is largely thought of as happening mainly unconsciously 
while in some cases there is a role for conscious control. I will start 
my presentation with my view on language contact in an overview of 
prolegomena towards a model of language contact. From there I want to 
concentrate on this aspect by examining the mechanism used in language 
varieties in which people try to control their language for identity 
purposes, or out of fear or respect. People use similar strategies in 
such parasitic languages: registers of respect, secret languages, argot, 
initiation languages, communication with spirits, youth languages. I 
present the universals of language control, relate strategy to function 
and examine the limits of language control in the effect on morphology, 
the universal properties, for example in the stability of 
morpho-syntactic properties. I also address the (im)possibilities of 
recoverability of the effects of controlled language change. If time 
permits, I would like to discuss the nature of consciousness in this 
respect.

*The development of Ecuadorian Quechua -- restructuring or substrate**
*
 Ecuadorian Quechua occupies a special position in the Quechuan language 
family, with a number of features which set it apart from all other 
varieties. Arguably, this is due to its late consolidation during the 
Spanish colonial period, after having been brought to Ecuador during the 
Inca expansion. In this paper, (a) I discuss the differences between 
Ecuadorian Quechua and related Peruvian Quechua II varieties; (b) I 
argue that these differences emerged gradually, during the colonial 
period; (c) try to distinguish which of these differences are due to 
substrate influence from the Barbacoan and Jivaroan families, and which 
are due to autonomous processes of restructuring as a Andean creole.
