The goal of the workshop is to bring together scholars who share an interest in the formal study of creole languages. Highlighting the more formal issues surrounding creole formation may help us in furthering our understanding how pidgin and creole languages come into being as well as why their grammatical properties are the way they are. At the same time, it may foster the interaction between theoretical linguists and researchers 'in the field'. We therefore invite abstracts that address theoretical and formal aspects in Creole Studies, from all the subfields of generative research, syntax, semantics, phonology, and morphology. Please note that after this workshop there will be two related conferences at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig of interest to creolists: - Wednesday Nov 10: Past present and future of Sri Lanka Malay. - Nov 11-14: 2nd APICS Conference. Organisers: Tonjes Veenstra (ZAS, Berlin) Marleen van de Vate, University of Tromsø Call For Papers We invite submissions of abstracts for 30-minute presentations (plus 15- minute discussions). Abstracts should be no longer than one page US Letter or A4 with one inch (2.5 cm) margins, single spaced, with a font size no smaller than 12pt, and with normal character spacing. A second page may be used for examples, figures, tables or references. The preferred submission format is pdf, but you can also send your abstract in .doc, .txt or .rtf format. Please send two copies of your abstract. One should be anonymous (all abstracts will be reviewed anonymously), one should include your name, affiliation and e-mail address directly below the title.
