University of Basel
Second Swiss Workshop on Sociolinguistics, Language Contacts and Historical Linguistics in the Ancient World
Organized by Dr. Marwan Kilani (Basel), Prof. Robin Meyer (Lausanne) and Dr. Neige Rochant (Lausanne)
The workshop is open to scholars based both inside and outside Switzerland, and wants to be a venue to learn about current research, to exchange ideas, and hopefully to develop future collaborations and synergies.
The workshop will combine sessions for the presentation of selected papers with open table discussions. We organizers are particularly interested in:
• Language contacts, areal phenomena, and sociolinguistics in the pre-modern historic contexts
• Interdisciplinary approaches involving other evidence (archaeology, genetics, etc.)
• New methods to approach and analyse the data (e.g. computational methods)
• Theoretical and methodological questions
• Case studies and general discussions about the potential role of linguistics in the study of the socio-historical realities of ancient societies
Contributions on any topic related to historical linguistics in the ancient world are also welcome.
Call for papers until 15th of October 2024
