2nd Call for Papers:
The title ''Linguistic Innovation'' is
understood in the sense of processes occurring
during different stages of language change,
such as grammaticalisation, lexicalisation,
morphological innovation (paradigmatic
levelling, analogy, etc.) and reanalysis.
The symposium will offer treatment and
discussion of mechanisms and types of language
change with respect to their motivation, which
should include both language-internal (language
economy, rhetorical efficiency, pragmatic
aspects) and language-external factors
(language contact, dialect mixture, migration
as well as other sociological contexts
favouring language change).
You are cordially invited to submit papers on
the above mentioned topics.
Talks may be given in English or German, and
should not exceed 20 minutes (plus 10 minutes
for discussion). After the Symposium,
presenters will be invited to submit a
manuscript version of their talk for online
publication in JournaLIPP
http://lipp.ub.lmu.de/
(after review of the paper).
Please send your abstract (in English or
German, maximum 400 words) as a Word and PDF
file to symposium2014
lipp.uni-muenchen.de by April 26th
at the latest.
