Linguistic Field(s): Typology

Call Deadline: 30-Apr-2010
Meeting Description:
This conference has three goals: (i) To discuss some results from database of
the APiCS (Atlas of Pidgin and Creole Language Structures) project in advance of
publication (scheduled for 2011/2012), (ii) to present this project to
interested linguists who are not participants of the project, and (iii) more
generally, to discuss the properties of creole and pidgin languages against a
typological background.
Call for Papers
We invite one-page abstracts for 30-minute papers on the structural properties
of pidgin, creole and mixed languages, seen against the background of world-wide
linguistic diversity. Typology has shown an increasing interest in language
contact and areal effects (see, e.g., WALS.info), so that creole and pidgin
linguistics now finds it easier to make use of typological findings.
Invited Speakers
- Tania Kuteva (Universität Düsseldorf/SOAS London)
- John McWhorter (Manhattan Institute, New York)
- Benedikt Szmrecsanyi (Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies)
Please send your anonymous abstract in PDF format to Claudia Schmidt
(cschmidteva.mpg.de), giving your contact information only in the e-mail. The
deadline for abstract submission is 30 April 2010, and notification of
acceptance is in mid-May.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
