Meeting Description:
A Germanic Sandwich 2015 will be the fifth in a
series of conferences in which Dutch is
compared with its closest Germanic neighbours,
English and German. The first edition took
place in Berlin in 2005 to commemorate the
appearance of 'Nederlands tussen Duits en
Engels' ('Dutch between German and English'), a
study by the renowned Dutch linguist C.B. van
Haeringen. Subsequent editions were held in
Sheffield (2008), Oldenburg (2010) and Leuven
(2013). This two-day conference will take place
on 24 and 25 April 2015 at the University of
Nottingham (UK Campus).
Call for Papers:
We invite abstracts for talks of 20 minutes (+
10 minutes’ discussion), in which Dutch is
compared to German and/or English (other
Germanic languages may of course be included as
well). We welcome studies with a typological
and/or comparative perspective, dealing with
questions about structural aspects of the
languages, their history or their status.
Studies from a language acquisition or
psycholinguistic perspective are also
welcome.
Abstracts of c. 500 words can be sent to
alan.scott
nottingham.ac.uk. The conference
languages are Dutch, English and German. The
deadline for submission is 3 November 2014;
notification of acceptance will take place
during January 2015.
