CONFERENCE
Standard, Variation and Language Contact
in the Germanic Languages
Thursday, 23 March - Friday, 24 March 2006
Venue: Stewart House/Senate House, Malet Street,
London WC1E 7HU
Co-Ordinators: Christian Fandrych (KCL) and Reinier
Salverda (UCL)
How do processes of language contact today affect the
Germanic languages? What impact does language contact
have on their standard form? What new varieties of
language are emerging in the process? These and
related questions will be the subject of this two-day
conference, where distinguished scholars will discuss
recent and ongoing developments in contemporary
German, Dutch and Frisian, Low German, Yiddish,
Afrikaans and the Scandinavian languages. The aim of
the conference is to provide a forum for exchange and
debate on new directions in linguistic research across
the Germanic languages.
