Learning outcomes
Linguistic interference on the micro-phenomenic levels of lexical loans and calques (cf. Gusmani 1993) is the most evident type of contact, and was easily identified in both modern and historical languages. Contact, however, can affect human languages in deeper and more complex ways (cf. Myers-Scotton 2002; Oksaar 1996, pp- 3-5). Morphology, morphosyntax and syntax can be involved (cf. Hill 2013 and 2015; Schrijver 2014), with unidirectional or mutual alterations on the structural and systemic levels. Structural interference can be limited to patterns occurring in single linguistic acts – be they ancient linguistic materials such as bi- or multilingual inscriptions, or locally limited cases of code-switching in limited geo-linguistic areas – but it can also represent a step towards a systematic diachronic change (cf. Consani 2015; Haspelmath 2001) – from the mutual influence of neighbouring languages on the levels of morphology and morpho-syntax up to the instantiation of proper areal systems.
Aim of the workshop is to discuss historical language-contact in its systemic implications, either by facing its theoretical aspects or by presenting and discussing specific cases, including (but not limited to):
- diachronic morphological interference
- diachronic morphosyntactic interference
- diachronic syntatic interference
- the socio-linguistic patterns of diachronic interference
- theoretical modeling of language contact in ancient and modern languages
- identification and description of language contact in ancient and modern languages
(The workshop is organized within the framework of the project SLUW, that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under the MARIE SKLODOWSKA-CURIE Grant agreement no. 655954.)
