Meeting Description:
The Slavonic Department of the University of Regensburg (Björn Hansen and Sandra Birzer) invite abstracts for the international workshop 'Yiddish language structures' to be held 30 November - 1 December 2009 in Regensburg/Germany. The main focus is supposed to be on structural aspects of the description of the Yiddish language system which includes both theoretical and empirical questions. The idea is to bring together specialists from the field of Yiddish linguistics and General Linguists working on language change and language contact.
The following scholars have been asked to deliver a keynote talk at the workshop:
Steffen Krogh (University of Aarhus) - confirmed
Johan van der Auwera (University of Antwerp) - confirmed
Yaron Matras (University of Manchester) - confirmed
Gertrud Reershemius (Aston University) - confirmed
The workshop is also meant to be a forum to discuss the new project of an on-line 'Corpus of Modern Yiddish' (CMY) which aims at compiling a balanced text corpus of Modern Yiddish of about 10 million words. The CMY is a joint project of scholars from Regensburg and Moscow.
The conference languages will be English, Yiddish and German.
